Sony's much-anticipated a7 III full-frame mirrorless camera is built around a 24MP BSI sensor, and includes many of the features and improvements found in the company's a7R III and a9. We had a chance to shoot with the a7 III at Sony's launch event last night in Las Vegas, and can share our initial... more

The Sigma 105mm F1.4 DG HSM is the longest F1.4 lens in the Art series to date, comprising 17 elements in 12 groups. It is, of course, dust- and splash-resistant, and includes an Arca-Swiss tripod collar. Sigma boasts that the 105mm delivers 'unsurpassed F1.4 performance' and 'exceptional peripheral brightness.' No pricing or availability is given at announcement.

Gearing up for CP+ 2018, Sigma has announced two all-new lenses including the 70mm F2.8 DG Macro. It's the first macro lens in the Art-series line, offering true 1:1 reproduction and a dust- and splash-proof design. Full-time manual focus is available even in autofocus shooting, and focus ring's angle of rotation is tuned to the needs of macro shooting. Sigma gives no pricing or availability information for the 70mm F2.8 Macro.

Sigma has announced plans to bring seven of its existing full-frame Art-series primes, plus two newly-announced lenses, to E-mount. Sigma says that the E-mount versions will offer "a newly developed control algorithm that optimizes the autofocus drive and maximizes the data transmission speed." The lenses will work with Sony's AF-C mode, and as with existing lenses adapted via MC-11, will work with in-camera stabilization and in-camera lens corrections.

Below are the lenses Sigma plans... more

Just moments after its launch at WPPI in Las Vegas, we had the chance to try out some of the Sony a7 III's features. Specifically, we were curious how its Eye AF and Lock-on AF modes were implemented, and the a9's excellent performance made for a good measuring stick. Take a look at the video above for a quick demonstration.

Sony has just announced the a7 III, a feature-filled 24-megapixel full-frame mirrorless camera combines many of Sony’s latest technologies (things found in the new a9 and a7R III) into a compact body.

At the core of the a7 III is a new 24.2-megapixel back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS Sensor. It has an ISO range of 100 to 51200 (expandable to 50-204800), 14-bit RAW, and a 15-stop dynamic range at low sensitivities.

Sony has announced the a7 III, a $2000 image-stabilized 24MP full frame mirrorless camera that incorporates many of the features and improvements brought in with the a9 and a7R III. Primary among these are the introduction of a BSI sensor, along with the larger capacity 'Z' battery, AF joystick and the Eye AF feature that impressed us so much on the 42MP model.

The 24MP sensor is a BSI design but doesn't gain the super-fast readout of the a9's more sophisticated 'stacked CMOS' sensor.... more

Samsung has just announced the S9 and S9+ smartphones, which feature what Samsung says is the company’s most advanced camera ever. The low-light camera is the first in the smartphone industry to use a dual aperture lens.

“Good lighting is the secret to any great photo,” Samsung says. “But often, photos are taken in less-than-ideal lighting conditions and most smartphone cameras have a fixed aperture that cant adjust to low or bright lighting environments... more
