  • panoramamodus bruikbaar zonder nabewerking; eenvoudige bediening,
  • weinig mogelijkheden om geavanceerde instellingen te doen.
  • Na Olympus, Panasonic en Samsung is Sony het vierde merk dat een hybridecamera met verwisselbare lenzen maar zonder optische zoeker uitbrengt. Wat heeft de NEX-5 te bieden? De NEX-5 is met zijn dikte van vier centimeter de kleinste camera met verwisselbar...

  • Abstract:  На сегодняшний день, беззеркальные камеры были представлены четырьмя компаниями – это Panasonic, Olympus, Samsung и Sony. Интересно, что компании пошли разными путями. Panasonic и Olympus, два года назад представившие свои «беззеркалки», создали для таких...

  • Выпуском моделей NEX-3 и NEX-5 компания Sony откровенно продемонстрировала свои намерения захватить немалую долю на рынке беззеркальных камер со сменной оптикой. Первый блин получился далеко не комом. Камеры серии NEX - это настоящий технологический tour...

  • Abstract:  När Panasonic G1 visades upp på Photokina 2008 var den något nytt. En kompakt systemkamera med utbytbara objektiv, utan spegel och till vettigt pris. Kameran blev startskottet för en uppsjö av spegellösa systemkameror. Under 2009 släppte Panasonic GF1...

  • Abstract:  Spegellösa kameror är den nya trenden, en trend som tycks hålla i sig. Konceptet har många fördelar, bland annat kortare skärpedjup och bra brusegenskaper. Genom att ta bort spegeln och den optiska sökaren har kamerorna kunnat göras mindre och lättare...

  • Abstract:  Sony har med sitt nya NEX-sys-tem inlett ett angrepp på Micro Four Thirds-kamerorna. Och de har ett särskilt trick i rock-ärmen. De har nämligen lyckats att göra avståndet mellan sensor och objektiv mindre än hos konkurrenterna, vilket gör NEX till ...
