  • Abstract:  As advanced cameras get compacted into smaller sizes, people started to doubt if their imaging quality are as good as full size DSLRs or even prosumer cameras. Today, we unbox the Alpha 7 from Sony, which is the company's first full frame mirrorless camer...

  • Abstract:  The Sony Alpha 7 is a camera that has garnered a lot of interest lately and it is clear why. It is arguably one of the cheapest, if not the cheapest, around to house a 35mm full-frame sensor. It's also a handy mirrorless camera system.Getting the largest ...

  • Abstract:  Sony no se ha andado con pequeñeces a la hora de plantear una alternativa seria y completa a las réflex de formato completo. No lo ha hecho con una Alpha esta vez sino con una cámara como la Sony A7 (y A7R), primera sin espejo que apuesta por el sensor de...

  • les avantages d'un appareil photo plein format sans l'encombrement (ni le prix), excellente qualité d'image, grand viseur OLED, résistant à la poussière et à l'humidité.
  • la batterie se charge directement dans l'appareil, l'autofocus un peu lent
  • Pour un coup d'essai, le Sony Alpha 7 (premier compact à objectifs interchangeable plein format) est une réussite. L'appareil photo hybride offre une excellente qualité d'image avec un prix plutôt "doux". De quoi mettre la photographie plein format ...

  • Après une quinzaine de jours en compagnie du seul Alpha 7, puis-je imaginer cet hybride 24 x 36 remplacer mon reflex, tous mes objectifs et accessoires, ainsi que mon X100 ? Difficile à dire, et ce pour plusieurs raisons. D'abord je n'ai pas pu tester les...
