S.L.R. Advantages at Half the Size
New York Times: Longtime Pogue readers already know that I’m a huge fan of Sony’s recent cameras. This company came out of nowhere — well, out of something like seventh place — to seize the leadership of the industry where it counts: in sensor size.
As you flip through them, you’ll see a few of the NEX family’s specialties:
Low light. With a typical pocket camera, you’ll get blur if you try to shoot nighttime street scenes without a tripod. This one does fine. Soft-focus backgrounds. A big sensor and small aperture makes possible this classic photographic effect — one that small cameras usually can’t achieve. Crazy wide-angles. I’ve written before about how transformative Sony’s Sweep Panorama feature is. Now becoming common (it’s even built into the iPhone, for example), it lets you swing the camera in an arc to capture a huge wide panorama. But if you turn the camera 90 degrees, you get a huge tall photo that doesn’t seem like a panorama at all — just a sweeping, amazing vista, as though you had the world’s widest-angle lens.
