Sony Alpha 3000

The Alpha 3000 has a foot in both the DSLR and CSC camps, with DSLR-esque design yet the inner workings of a CSC.

Verdict

The A3000 seems to be a niche camera without a niche to fit into. It's bettered by most of its entry level CSC rivals, but it must be noted that it's simple and easy to use and produces good results as long as you're not in a rush. It could be popular with those who want more to wrap their hand around, but we'd settle for the smaller NEX-3N instead.

Sony Alpha 3000 Best for : shooting high contrast conditions via the EVF, Those who'd like a battery percentage level gauge, people who'd prefer DSLR styling form a CSC.

Pros
APS-C sized sensor
Nex-style controls
lightweight
Profiled hand-grip
Battery percentage level Gauge

Cons
Build quality
Slow focusing
Screen resolution
Slow start up time

Verdict

The Q7 is a capable camera with a good range of features, great build quality, performance and handling, and image quality that compares well to most high end compacts. While some may look at it as a novelty act, the best camera is the camera you have with you. The Q7 certainly ticks the box but it's dominated by larger, more capable rivals.

Pentax Q7 Best for :travelling when you'd like a camera to fit in a pocket. The option to shoot in the versatile Raw format, Capturing faithful colour and exposure.

Pros
Portability
Handling
Features

Does the GF6 deliver enough features to make an impact in the crowded CSC market?

Verdict

By any standards, the GF6 is a great camera. The excellent build quality, superb finish and impressive image quality all add up to make it a system camera that represents superb value for money. Above all, it's a genuinely nice camera to use and would be a perfect choice for those looking to attain better image quality than a point and shoot compact.

Panasonic Lumix GF6 Best for : Those looking for an affordable step up from a compact. An excellent choice of lenses. Responsive touch-screen interface

Nikon 1J3

Nikon describes its J3 as elegantly minimalist yet full loaded, but is this partnership a winning one?

Verdict

The J3 comes with the sort of features you'd expect to find on a CSC when upgrading on a compact camera, and for the most part it's both fun and convenient to use. The small sensor does present a couple of image quality issues, but it should suffice for family photos and those destined for little more than social networking sites.

Nikon 1 J3 Is Best For : New and inexperienced users seeking improved image quality over a compact, People wanting a simple level of control with auto shooting modes.

Pros
Lightweight and simple design
Inclusion of built in flash
Super fast burst rates
Fun auto modes for new users

Fujifilm X-M1

The X-M1 is one of Fujifilm's smallest and lighters CSCs and is designed to target a wider audience than previous models

Verdict

The X-M1 excels in three key areas over its closes rivals, these being style, feel and results. The beautiful image quality the X-M1's X-trans CMOS sensor delivers is a premium worth paying for, but unlike rival models it does lack a touch-screen and viewfinder. It's also a tad pricey for the features it offers when compared with designs from its competitors.

Fujifilm X-M1 Is Best for : Auto shooting modes will appeal to those upgrading from a point and shoot. Impressive resolution of detail. Macro photography

Pros
Excellent results from the X-trans sensor
Styling
Build Quality
Consistent metering system
Auto shooting modes

Cons
No touch-screen
Prices
Lack of connection for an optional viewfinder

Sony’s Alpha 77 II Review | best | lowest | body best | lenses | Prices

A fter the announcement of the full-frame E-mount Sony A7, A7R and A7S compact system cameras and the demise of the NEX brand, you could be forgiven for thinking that Sony might not continue with its A-mount SLT (single lens translucent) cameras. However, the arrival of the Sony Alpha 77 II indicates that this isn’t the case.

As you might guess, the Alpha 77 II replaces the Alpha 77, which is now discontinued, and it has an almost identical shape and design. As before, the new camera is aimed at enthusiast photographers who want a step up from an entry-level model. It sits under the full-frame Alpha 99 in Sony’s SLT line-up.

FEATURES
Like the Alpha 77, the A77 II has a 24-million-pixel sensor, but this is a new device that benefits from the progress that has been made with sensor design in the two-and-half years since the A77 first arrived. Also, for the first time in an A-mount camera, the sensor signal is processed by a Bionz X engine. This has given Sony the confidence to allow sensitivity to be set in the native range ISO 100-25,600 for still images, with a low expansion setting of ISO 50 also available.

One of the benefits of the SLT design is that there can be full-time phase-detection autofocus during movie shooting and when composing images on the rear screen. Sony has used a newly developed phase-detection sensor with 79 AF points (15 of which are the more sensitive cross-type) in the Alpha 77 II. Sensor development means that the A77 II’s CCD AF sensor produces less electronic noise than previous devices and this helps with autofocusing speed and accuracy, as well as boosting low-light performance.

Spot AF performance is also claimed to have been improved, with weighting given to the centre of the spot. There’s a collection of AF-point selection options including Wide, Zone, Flexible Spot, Local, Expanded Flexible Spot and Lock-on AF. In Expanded Flexible Spot mode, you select one AF point and the camera supports this with the surrounding eight points, which is useful when shooting a moving subject.

It’s also possible to adjust the AF tracking duration across five levels via the menu. The low settings are useful when the subject distance isn’t expected to change quickly, while high levels suit shooting subjects at different distances. In addition, a new AF Range Control option allows you to restrict the AF to working within a specific distance range – useful when there are objects between the camera and the subject.

According to Sony, almost all of its A-mount lenses are compatible with the 79 AF points, although only 61 are available when you’re shooting at 12fps. Sony’s 500mm f/8 lens is a notable, but not surprising, exception: it will allow only the centre AF point to be used.

As suggested above, the A77 II can shoot a maximum rate of 12 frames per second with AF tracking, and the buffer has capacity to allow up to 25 raw and JPEG images to be captured in a single burst, but aperture is locked at the start of the sequence.

Other pleasing additions to the A77 II’s featureset include an HDMI port, which can supply clean video output to external storage devices, and Wi-Fi connectivity. As the A77 II has an NFC chip, owners of NFC-enabled smartphones and tablets can connect to the camera by touching the two devices together. Interestingly, despite the presence of Wi-Fi connectivity, the A77 II cannot make use of Sony’s PlayMemories Camera apps.

BUILD AND HANDLING
Sony has given the Alpha 77 II the same tough feel, overall shape and control layout as the A77, and the vertical grip that was produced for the original model can be used with the new camera. There are a few differences, however: there are 27 features that can be assigned to one of the 12 slots in the Function menu, for example. It’s also possible to customise the function of many of the buttons, but the default settings work well.

If you like using Picture Effects (Toy Camera, Pop Color, Posterization, Retro Photo, Soft High-key, Partial Color, High Contrast Mono, Soft Focus, HDR Painting, Rich-tone Monochrome, Miniature, Watercolor and Illustration are provided), it’s worth assigning this and image quality to the Function menu so that you can quickly turn off raw recording “Almost all of Sony’s A-mount lenses are compatible with the A77 II’s 79 AF points” Zooming in on the… sony Alpha 77 II Sony’s made important changes from the A77 The hotshoe has changed from the Sony (Minolta) proprietary shape to the more common universal style. It also has contacts for a wide range of accessories.

The vari-angle mechanism on the rear LCD screen seems a little over-complicated. As SLTs have a fixed translucent mirror, the A77 II has an electronic rather than optical viewfinder. The mode dial has been updated with a lock button to prevent it from being knocked out of position. Strangely, Sony has continued with having the 12fps shooting option located on the mode dial. FOr TEST IMAgES AnD rESOlUTIOn CHArTS, vISIT WWW.teCh rADAr.COM/ CAMerAs Canon eOs70D Price £849 / $1,099 This 20.2MP SLR has a responsive vari-angle touchscreen, and captures great images. reviewed:Issue 144 Meet the rivals… There’s a choice of SLRs and CSCs at this price point Fujifilm X-t1 Price £988 / $1,299 This SLR-style CSC has an excellent electronic viewfinder and traditional exposure controls. and access the effects. As with other Sony cameras, the Creative Style options (Standard, Vivid, Neutral, Clear, Deep, Light, Portrait, Landscape, Sunset, Night, Autumn, Black & White and Sepia), which give JPEG images a particular appearance, can be used when shooting raw images simultaneously.

While the three-inch 1,229k-dot vari-angle screen is useful for composing images from awkward angles, the articulating hinge seems unnecessarily complicated, and it takes a while to get used to its quirks and limitations. The hinges on cameras such as the Canon 70D and Nikon D5300 are much more straightforward.

As on the Sony A7 and 7R, the 2.3-million-dot electronic viewfinder (EVF) is bright and clear, with plenty of detail visible. As usual with an EVF, this brings the benefit of seeing the image as it will be captured. However, when the brightness is set to Automatic rather than manual, the extra gain applied in dark conditions can mean that the viewfinder image looks significantly brighter than the final image, so it’s best to set the brightness to Manual.

PERFORMANCE
Even at the highest selectable sensitivity setting of ISO 25,600, noise is controlled well in raw files, having a fine texture with no banding or clumping visible at 100% on-screen. With careful processing, it’s possible to conceal most of the coloured speckling in raw files and produce an image with just luminance noise giving some grain. Simultaneously captured JPEG files look softer than their raw counterparts, and close examination reveals a painterly texture with slightly sharpened edges. They generally look acceptable viewed at A3 size, but we prefer the slightly sharper, grainer look of the raw files. As you’d hope with a 24MP sensor, the A77 II is capable of recording a high level of detail at the lower sensitivity setting.

While the A77 II’s AF system struggled a little more than the Canon 5D Mark III in the low, flat light of an unlit music gig, there were no such problems with a fast-moving subject in good light. It was positive, fast and accurate. In continuous AF mode with AF selection set to Expanded Flexible Spot, it got rowers sharp in a flash and was able to keep them sharp by using the surrounding points when panning. When AF selection was set to Lock-on AF: Flexible Spot or Lock-on AF: Expanded Flexible Spot, it also tracked them around the frame if the original AF point wasn’t kept in the correct location.

As usual, AF performance varies according to the lens that’s mounted, and a good optic is required to get the best from the Alpha 77 II. It performs very well with the 70-200mm f/2.8, for example, but is a little more hesitant in low light with the 85mm f/2.8 – which also has a much noisier focus mechanism.

We used the Multi-segment metering system almost exclusively during this test. Although we shot in a wide range of conditions, there were only a few when a little exposure compensation was required. The system isn’t easily thrown by large bright or dark areas within the scene. Colours are also good straight from the camera, and the white balance system general does a good job when set to the Automatic setting.

VERDICT
While the changes made to the Alpha 77 II may not seem dramatic, Sony has worked on the most important aspects – the sensor and processor – to boost speed and image quality, as well as the autofocus performance. Many will recognise that it’s sensible to stick with the same pixel count as with the Alpha 77: 24 million pixels capture enough detail for most purposes and allow big prints to be made. The files are large without being unmanageable by the average modern computer.

The AF system improvements and the A77 II’s ability to control noise at high sensitivity levels, combined with the general high quality of the images, makes it a versatile camera that will be attractive to enthusiast photographers who want to shoot a wide range of subjects in a variety of conditions.

OVERALL

We sAY: The A77 II’s image quality is excellent, even at high sensitivity settings, and the autofocus system is fast and accurate. It’s a great choice for enthusiasts who want versatility from their camera.

Nikon D3300 Reviews 2014

Can the D3300 Deliver everything that's expected from an entry-level model that's out to target the first time DSLR buyer?

Nikon D3300 evaluations - Nikon's entry level DSLR range has long benefited from a drip down effect, owing to the company's substantial stable of enthusiast and high end models. The Nikon D3300 follows on from the popularity of the D3100 and D3200, and its 24.2 MP sensor has sent the anti aliasing filter removed to see an improvement in sharpness.

The introduction of Nikon's new EXPEED 4 image processor has two key benefits. Not only has it increased the maximum ISO to 25.600, the continuous shooting rate has also improved from 4fps to 5fps. On the rear, the D3300 maintains the same 4in, 920k-dot LCD as seen on its predecessor. It also set ups, sporting the 420-pixel RGB sensor and 11 point AF system that served the D3200 well.

One feature that debuted on the D3200 and retained in the D3300 is the model's graphical rear display. THe graphics represent aperture, shutter and ISO sensitivity, giving beginners a visual reference point to the settings they're changing. The aperture graphic is particularly pleasing, with it getting larger and smaller relative to the size selected. There's also a? button which can be pressed in conjunction with any of the settings which the activates a more in depth explanation of the settings beings used, serving almost as a built in instruction manual for those new to DSLR photography. THe body is constructed from the same polycarbonate as the D3200, and in terms of dimensions it's just 1mm thinner and 1mm shallower than its predecessor, although it is 2mm taller. The body itself is some 25g lighter, while the redesigned standard kit lens now has a collapsible design to make it some 30% smaller and 25% lighter.(Nikon D3300 critiques )

Nikon D3300 testimonials - The optical viewfinder is another area of improvement, with its 0.85x magnification being superior to 0.78x on the D3200. On the whole, the AF system delivers and entry level users should find the level of performance fairly comprehensive. While the 11 point AF coverage is never going to be quite as comprehensive as that found on systems with higher AF point counts, the 11 points themselves are well spread out across the frame. In use, the D3300 meets its 5fps shooting speed and the way it excels in this area, much like close rivals such as the Canon EOS 100D, is a welcome plus. (Nikon D3300 testimonials)

Nikon D3300 opinions - With regard to image quality, the standard colour setting delivers a pleasingly natural palette, while if you want a bit more oomph from your image then the "vivid" preset mode does a great job of lighting a scene. The sensor delivers an impressive dynamic range, which is more in line with cameras higher up Nikon's range, and thanks to the high pixel count and the removal of the low pass filter, the D3300 resolved 34 lines per mm (lpmm) on our test chart, reducing to 28 lpmm at ISO 6400 very impressive performance. ALthough there are signs of colour noise at ISO 800. it's not until ISO 12.800 is reached that luminance noise becomes a rea issue.

Nikon D3300 Verdict
The Nikon D3300 is a good demonstration of what entry level DSLRs can offer. it does lack inbuilt Wi-fi connectivity. THough this is probably understandable owing to the impressively low price tag. On the whole if you;re after an entry level DSLR with a high resolution yet don't want to break the bank, the D3300 should be near the top of your wish list.

Nikon D3300 is Best For
- Novices looking to step up to DSLRs
- if you want to learn advanced DSLR features as you shooting
- HD video with the option to attach an external mic

Pros
- Low price tag
- Impressive burst mode
- Reduction in size kit lens
- High resolution captures masses of detail

Cons
- Lack of built in Wi-fi might disappoint some users
- Issues with noise apparent at lower ISO settings
