From a pure design standpoint, Sony's a6500 look all that flashy at first glance, but don't let the looks fool you. It may look like an a6300, but with 5-axis in-body image stabilization, a touchscreen for focus point placement (even with your eye to the finder), and an improved processor that brings an extensive buffer and instant image playback/review to the Alpha line, it's a compact force to be reckoned with.

There comes a point where the living for the weekend becomes such an obsession that its time to build a life around the driving passion. Life isnt supposed to be lived in two day chunks followed by 5 days of monotony and anticipation. Its supposed to be chased, squeezed, challenged and loved, every single day.

The RX100 Mark V is pretty crazy - at its full burst speed of twenty four frames per second, shooting full JPEG and Raw, I actually tended to dial it back to its 'medium' 10 fps burst-shooting speed. Think about that: you can literally make movies out of these 24 fps (importantly: long) bursts. With 315 on-sensor phase-detection autofocus points, I almost felt... more

Sony Cyber-shot RX100 V

Not surprisingly, the Mark V looks a whole lot like its predecessors. It continues to use a 1"-type 20.1MP sensor (more on that in a minute) and 24-70mm equiv. F1.8-2.8 lens, and sports the same pop-up viewfinder with 2.36M-dot OLED panel as the RX100 III and IV. The big improvements are all under the hood.

Sony announces Alpha 6500

Sony has announced the a6500, its top of the line APS-C E-mount mirrorless camera. It may look a lot like the a6300 but it's a higher spec (and more expensive) sister model.

It's based around the same copper-wired 24MP CMOS sensor as the a6300 but it adds several key features: most notably in-body image stabilization and touchscreen control.

UK flash manufacturer Bowens will use the PhotoPlus Expo to launch its new range of Generation X flash heads in the USA. The new range has a completely new design and features a portable model that is powered by an in-body rechargeable battery.
