Time for a short roundup! Here we are:

A nice 500mm lens borthday cake at ecpz. NEX-7 with Sigma 30mm lens at itmedia. If you speak korean or just like to watch graphs and images check out the RX100 review at SLRclub. Sony NEX-5n HDR in San Francisco by Kerry Garrison. FS700 field report at EosHD.

P.S:: I collected all the work you sent me the past weeks. Will make a post this week!

David Pogue (NYT) about the RX100: “No photos this good have ever come from a camera this small.”

Picture from CNET.

David Pogue from the New York Times (Click here) really likes the new Sony RX100 and writes: “And if you care at all about your photography, you’ll thank Sony for giving the camera industry a good hard shove into the future.“. I know David for a long time and I dont’ remember another such positive review of a camera!

50mm for NEX gets reviewed at SLRgear. And Shadow Hot Shoe review

SLRgear (Click here) posted the full 50mm for NEX test: “The Sony E 50mm ƒ/1.8 OSS is a capable lens, marred only by some poor CA performance when used wide open; even then, depending on the subject matter, it may not be particularly noticeable.
Lens price check at AmazonAdoramaB&HJ&ReBay.

And I also found the first NEX 5n Shadow Hot Shoe Review at Cameradojo (Click here): “if you want to use speedlites or studio strobes with your NEX 5n, you really have no other choices today. In the end, the Shadow works and if you need the functionality, at least there is a solution available.

(UPDATED) The difference between Sony 36 Megapixel with and with modified AA filter

DxOmark (Click here) now posted the full results of the Nikon D800E which still has an anti aliasing filter but uses a second layer of the LPF to undo the effects of the first (Unlike the similar Nikon D800). As you know (and Nikon doesn’t tell you) both use the Sony 36 Megapixels sensor which will very likely used by a new Full Frame camera in 2013. Dxo writes: “The Nikon D800E received an overall DxOMark score of 96 points, making it the best camera ever tested at DxOMark. It edged out the D800 by a single point.

Some great NEX-7 work in Island and Ireland (send me your work!)

On top you can watch a video shot in Island. It really makes me wish to take a flight to there today :(
And Bob Towery posted his work done in Ireland with the NEX-7.

At that point it may be a good idea to post a new collection of SonyAlphaRumor readers work. Please send me your best work done with a Sony camera at sonyalpharumors@gmail.com. Please one work only!

P.S.: Tomorrow I am out for climbing but I have scheduled some news for you :)
