Fujifilm's X-series gets an interchangeable-lens compact
- By Stan Horaczek on January 9, 2012
Details about Fujifilm's intriguing new camera have been leaking out for weeks now, but they took all of the wraps off at CES and the result is a camera that's both gorgeous and powerful.The system is built around an APS-C, X-Trans CMOS sensor paired with the EXR processor technology. It also uses a unique color filter array that emulates the random nature of film noise and eliminates the need for a low-pass filter. They claim this gives it the ability to perform on the level of some true full-frame sensors.

New Gear: Sony NEX-7 Stuffs DSLR Guts Into an Interchangeable Lens Compact Body

This ILC has a lot in common with its chubbier DSLR siblings
- By Stan Horaczek on August 24, 2011
If you're looking through the spec sheet for the NEX-7, you'll notice that there is a surprising amount of carry-over from that of Sony's new mid-level (one might even say prosumer if that wasn't such an ugly phrase) DSLRs. The NEX-7 uses the same 24.3-megapixel Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor and BIONZ processor as its DSLR counterparts, making it the most powerful -- at least from a resolution standpoint -- camera in its class. it has the same 100-16000 range for ISO settings and AVCHD Progressive Video capture up to 60p at full HD resolution with stereo sound.

New Gear: Sony NEX-5N Is Faster, Still Skinny

Sony continues on their quest to get more FPS out of an interchangeable-lens compact
- By Stan Horaczek on August 23, 2011
While the new NEX-7 has more in common with Sony's new DSLRs than the rest of their ILC line, the NEX-5N should seem a lot more familiar. Sony's emphasis on speed remains a constant, bumping the NEX-5N's shutter lag time to just 20 milliseconds, a number that matches that of the NEX-7. The new AF algorithm also speeds things up in the focus department, offering what Sony calls a "significant' improvement over the NEX-5.
