Sony Alpha lensesSony expands A-Mount lens line-up for DSLR cameras with three new lenses
Sony is expanding its already strong line-up of over 30 A-mount lenses with new models that will appeal to seasoned photographers and those new to DSLR cameras alike.

  • The Distagon T* 24mm F2 ZA SSM (SAL24F20Z) features the acclaimed Carl Zeiss Distagon design and rounds out the existing Planar (SAL85F14Z) and Sonnar (SAL135F18Z) models also developed in conjunction with Carl Zeiss. It is intended to appeal to experienced photographers looking for a large-aperture wide-angle lens of real distinction.
  • The DT 35mm F1.8 SAM (SAL35F18) adds the important 35mm focal length to the ‘Easy Choice’ series. ‘Easy Choice’ is intended to provide great value, compact and lightweight lenses that are attractive to entry-level and advanced photographers alike. Each lens in the series is selected for a specific purpose, for example portraiture or macro.
  • The 85mm F2.8 SAM (SAL85F28) is another ‘Easy Choice’ lens, this time offering the 85mm focal length considered the standard for portraiture because of the natural perspective it provides. True to type it is extremely compact and light, weighing just 175g. Read on...

EA Comments: Nice to see a 35mm lens for the APS-C sized image sensor cameras such as the A700, A550 and A350. It should make useful walk around lens if the absence of a zoom is not important. No doubt the 85mm f/2.8 lens should hopefully prove popular no matter which format of camera is used.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5 - Advanced CompactPanasonic announces the 10mp Lumix DMC-LX5
Panasonic is pleased to announce the long-awaited DMC-LX5 - a successor to the DMC-LX3, acclaimed worldwide by photography enthusiasts. The premium compact camera is fully re-designed in the lens from its predecessor with changes in the CCD and the image processing engine, and with further improvements and upgrades to the camera, ensuring the new LX5 produces high picture quality and creative images. Read on...

EA Comments: It is good to see Panasonic continuing with the LX line of Lumix cameras despite the introduction of the Lumix G series. The smaller image sensor won't be a match for the larger 4/3 sensor in the G series but the fact that the image capture resolution has remained at 10 megapixels and efforts has been made to improve the image processing engine can only bode well for image quality. The increase in the lens zoom range, now from 24-90mm (35mm equivalent), is very welcome.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ100 - Full HD and SuperzoomPanasonic announces the 14mp Lumix DMC-FZ100
The new DMC-FZ100, top-of-the-line model of the LUMIX popular FZ series. Packing a powerful optical zoom and creative options, including manual operation and full HD movie recording capability, the new hybrid digital camera ensures all memories are captured in high quality photo and video. Recording both high quality photo and movie with super fast response at 25mm ultra wide angle to super telephoto 24x, the DMC-FZ100 is a none-the-like versatile digital compact camera with functions that satisfies users at any level of photography from beginners to high amateurs. Read on...

EA Comments: The Lumix FZ100 may fill the needs of those looking for versatile camera but don't require the extra flexibility that an interchangeable lens camera brings. An lens optical range of 24-600mm (35mm format equiv.) should be enough to keep most people happy. No doubt there will be optical compromises with such a range and it will be interesting to see how the camera performs in practice. Full HD movie capture and the articulating LCD monitor should help to make the FZ100 a well rounded camera especially for travel.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ45 - SuperzoomPanasonic announces the 14mp Lumix DMC-FZ45
Packed with creative features, Panasonic is pleased to introduce another feature-packed hybrid digital compact camera with 14.1-megapixels to its award winning Lumix range. The new DMC-FZ45 from the popular FZ series combines a powerful optical zoom and creative options including manual operation to bring users a versatile and creative compact. The LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens extends its optical zoom range from 27mm to 25mm at wide end and the zoom power from 18x to 24x to be even more versatile compared to the DMC-FZ35*. Read on...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX700 - Touch screenPanasonic announces the 14mp Lumix DMC-FX700
A new addition to the popular LUMIX FX series - DMC-FX700 that packs a host of advanced functions in a slim, stylish body. Now truly a hybrid camera, the FX700 records high quality 1920x1080 full HD movie in AVCHD. The 14.1-megapixel camera also features F2.2 super bright 24mm ultra wide angle LEICA DC VARIO-SUMMICRON lens with 5x optical zoom* to make the camera even more versatile from shooting dynamic landscapes to the moving subject in low-lit situations such as indoors or at night. Read on...

EA Comments: The original FX500 proved to be a capable camera (see FX500 review) and following on from the FX550, the FX700 maintains the key features of the series but with the latest Panasonic imaging technology. The handy x5 zoom lens range is maintained but the camera looks designed to be more touch screen driven than the previous models. With a 14mp image sensor and Full HD movie capture capability, a decent sized SD card is a must.

Panasonic Lumix FT10 Weatherproof Digital CompactPanasonic announces the 14mp Lumix DMC-FT10 weatherproof compact
