When we tested Sony’s Alpha 380 last year, we hated the grip and noted that its 14.2MP sensor could’ve provided more resolving power. Now, Sony has replaced this entry-level model with the new 14.2MP Alpha 390 ($600, street, with 18–55mm f/3.5–5.6 Sony DT SAM lens). It’s extremely similar to its predecessor, but has a completely redesigned grip, a notable improvement over the old one. The rest of it? Well. . .In the Test Lab

To accompany the launch of their new D7000 camera body, Nikon has also announced two new superfast, pro-level prime lenses—the 35mm f/1.4G AF-S and a 200mm f/2G ED VR II. Both lenses are familiar focal lengths for Nikon, but they add brand new features like Nikon's Nano-Crystal coating and Super Integrated Coating to cut down on lens flare. They also employ a nine-blade diaphram to help improve separation between subject and background. Here's the breakdown on the new glass. AF-S NIKKOR 35mm f/1.4G: Updating the Classic Wide Angle Lens

We found a lot to like about Samsung's previous mirrorless camera, the NX10. But, now Samsung is taking things in a different direction, ditching the SLR form factor and introducing a true interchangeable lens compact in the NX100.
