The Alpha 77 was announced back in August of 2011 with some mightily impressive specifications and we are extremely glad that we are finally seeing this APS beast land on our shores. The Sony Alpha 77 houses a 24 megapixel crop sensor, that is a first of its kind. To feed the silicon, Sony has also added the newly developed BIONZ processor. The two together, coupled up with Sony’s Translucent [...]

Canon’s history with camera making is a testament of that very fact. They have churned out great cameras in every segment and the travel zoom is no exception. The SX260 HS is Canon’s top-end travel zoom camera that promises to be an excellent companion on every trip you make. Well, we’re not that easily convinced to we put this little hunk of gorgeous metal to the test. Build and [...]

It goes without saying that an equally impressive balance of pricing and performance matches the specs. The HX9V was a testament of that fact, and now, the upgraded HX20V is here and we see whether it lives up to our expectations: Build and Ergonomics: Out of the box, the Sony Cyber-shot HX20V feels hefty, with a sturdy build, weigh [...]

The OM-D E-M5 made it to our labs last week, and after exploring it for a good 7 days, all we can say is – this camera is an improvement over the Olympus EP3 (read our review) which had left us speechless with its fast AF, great image quality, etc. and that is saying a lot. Olympus definitely deserves a pa [...]

I remember my first digital camera. It was a Canon Powershot A520 with a 4megapixel resolution and a measly 4x optical zoom. Back then, it was considered ‘top of the line’ and cost almost thrice as much as I’d have liked to pay for it. But digital imaging has come a LONG way since then (almost like the tech has travelled in a spaceship powered by Hyper-drive) and the sort of numbers we see in specifications are just [...]

Hot on the heels of Olympus, Fuji has outed their Finepix XP170, a 14 megapixel shooter available in blue and orange. The XP710 can withstand drops from heights of 6.5 feet, while scoffing off water depths of up to 32 feet. Even freezing temperature of -10 degree Celsius are not enough to impact the performance of the camera. An impressive feature that Fuji has managed to pack into the XP710 is that the camera can wirelessly transmit photos from the [...]

In fact a mirrorless ILC was expected from Canon, specially after Nikon announced its foray into this segment with the 1 series of cameras last year. Canon instead announced its flagship compact camera – the PowerShot G1X. On the first glance and based on the aesthetics, one does get a fe [...]

While Canon has remained mum on the topic, Nikon has come forth and announced the availability of two mirrorless cameras, the Nikon V1 and J1 as part of the Nikon 1 system. According to Nikon, their mirrorless cameras are infused with some never-before-seen tech like the hybrid focus system that utilizes [...]

Design-wise the camera is very reminiscent of the retro film cameras and indeed Olympus have taken the design aesthetics of their older OM series of film cameras and have fitted it with a 16.1 MP Live MOS sensor. Olympus have added a dedicated electronic viewfinder atop the camera body which gives it slight amount of bulk when compared with the PEN series of cameras. Let us have a look [...]
