Rumour: THE NEW SONY NEX-3C

Rumours are just filtering through on the latest member of the Sony NEX family, the SONY NEX-3C. Possibly, the replacement for the current Sony NEX-3. The new model is rumoured to have:
  • New 16.2 Mega pixel Sensor
  • More Sleek & Rounded body design
  • Different arrangement of keys
The new model is still rumoured to incorporate Sony's Vari-Angle LCD screen & HD movie capability. Early images of the NEW SONY NEX-3C also show a new flash unit (at this time, unsure whether this is will be provided with the camera or be an additional accessory).

The award winning range of Sony NEX series cameras has proven ever so popular with consumers against there mirror-less system rivals, and a new addition will certainly see there success increase. Rumoured to be formerly announced for Sony's Autumn Launch, means this new model could be in the shops by September 2011.

THE CANON EOS 600D

The Canon EOS 600D or as we have so eloquently named it "The Fisherman's Friend", has to be the hottest consumer DSLR on the market at the moment.

I have been informed by a proffessional Angler that the EOS 600D's side articulating Live-View screen combined with its Custom Self-Timer (which allows the camera to take between 2-10 shots from a single shutter depression) or by using an Infra-red Remote Release via the Canon RC-6 Remote or a Seculine Twin R3-UT universal Remote (optional accessories), make it the ideal candidate for photographing your prized catch more easily. Even when that moment is at dusk or the crack of dawn where the light is poor, the EOS 600D's:
  • DIGIC 4 Processing Engine
  • ISO 100-6400 (expandable to 12800)
  • 63 Zone Dual-Layer Metering
  • 18 Megapixel CMOS
All come together to give the user incredible results under difficult lighting conditions. But this camera is not just ideal for fisherman, as we live in a world of social networking sites there is an increasing interest in taking Self-Portraits and the Canon EOS 600D is the ultimate High Quality tool for doing so.

The Canon EOS 600D is not just a camera for photographing yourself, the Live-View Articulating LCD Screen can also offer an opportunity for the user to be incredibly creative with composition whether taking photographs or Full HD Movies.

Our Verdict:

4.8 out of 5

Announced: The NEW Nikon D5100


Exciting news for all you Nikon fans out there or someone interested in getting a new/starting DSLR, as Nikon has just announced the Nikon D5100 & could be in the shops as early as the end of the month.

It appears Nikon have addressed the fundamental flaw which i believed the Nikon D5000 suffered with, and that was its articulated screen. Articulated screens can be incredibly helpful in creating interesting compositions, but the Nikon D5000's Vari-angle screen had limitations when attached to a tripod as the screen would hang downwards below the camera.

Not only has the Nikon D5100 Vari-angle screen been addressed so that it articulates from the side of the camera, but now boasts Approx.. 921k-dots for high resolution viewing.

other updates include:

  • 16.2 megapixel CMOS sensor
  • Side articulating Vari-angle 3" LCD monitor (Approx...921k-dots)
  • 7 Special Effects Mode for pictures and full HD movies (accessible from the top mode dial) 
  • ISO range 100-6400 (can be expanded to 25600) 
With this cameras ease of use, it will be an ideal candidate for a beginner to DSLR and would also satisfy the demands of those who want to be more creative with their Pictures and Movies.
