Enter the Sony!

Advantages: Packed with extras, looks good and feels good.
Disadvantages: See review for the very minor con`s.

...Sony are one of the newest companies to venture into the world of DSLR`s, having been producing some quite excellent point and shoot cameras for many years this is a move that most people in the photography world had expected to happen a long time ago and a lot had feared the day it did happen too. The reason many photographers feared Sony entering the DSLR market is simply that it would be hard not to get drawn into what they had to offer but they feared that Sony might find the market too challenging and bale out leaving many photographers with cameras that they could not upgrade and would struggle to find lenses and accessories for. When buying a point and shoot camera you are spending in the region of between 100 and 200 pounds for a top of the range model, whilst when purchasing a DSLR camera you could be looking at spending...

Review of Sony a (alpha) DSLR-A350K

A Great System from Sony

Advantages: Nice Classy Design, Great Graphics, and a Good Online
Disadvantages: Small Gamelist Thus Far and Some Games Suffer From Framerate and Graphical Pop-Up Issues

...Sony's Playstation 3 is thier third go around in the Video Game business. My console reviews usually consist of reviews in the following categories Controller, Graphics, Multiplayer/Online, and Game Library. Much like the Xbox 360, i'll also be reviewing the Design of the PS3. The design of the PS3 is the more classy of the three new consoles. The PS3 is a black square system with a curved top. While the design is beautiful, this system is very big, matching the 360 in terms of size. The system also offers Blu-ray but, in my opinion, that should not be the only reason you should be spending $400-500 on this system. The PS3's controller is the classic Playstation controller once again and that shouldn't be a problem for any gamer. The original PS3 controller was the Sixaxis but is now Dualshock 3. For a company that created...

Review of Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3)

Is that a bird..is that a plane..its the Volvo s70

Advantages: A sports saloon car!
Disadvantages: Costly to repair!

...I have owned this Car for about 6 years now. It was a very Luxury car when i purchased it and i'm glad to say it still is! The interior of it is very similar to that of a Mercedes S class which as we all know is the best of the best when it comes to luxury in saloon cars. When i first bought this car the cd player broke straight away and i was told that it would cost in the region of £1000+ to get it fixed, now i was happy with listening to the radio so this has still not been fixed but other than that i have never had anything go wrong with it. And i would rather have no CD player than a car with a working Cd player but an unreliable car. The Volvo s70 has a full leather interior as standard and electric front seats, which also have seat warmers which are very handy in the winter. as for leg room, i couldn't have asked...

Review of Volvo S70 2.4T

Sony is back with a bang!

Advantages: slick piece of hardware, great games, so much to do!
Disadvantages: not cheap!

...Having just recently won a competition to spend a night with the PS3 I figured it would be a smart idea to do a personal review of the console which everyone will be talking about (in the UK) in a few weeks to come. Please bear in mind that I have only had a chance to test this baby out for a few hours and so my review will not be as in-depth as you might expect. First Impressions The PS3 is indeed a slick looking machine, about the size of it's older brother (PS2) it seems as though finally Sony have caught on to the fact that the outer design of the console is as important to a gamer as the leather interior is to a 2006 Aston Martin V8 Vantage. Gone is that ugly block-like design and in comes a smooth surfaced console with curved edges just begging you to caress them. Much like it's predecessor, the PS3 can be placed...

Sony Playstation 3 (PS3)

Advantages: Best Entertainment System Avaliable, Region free games only
Disadvantages: 4GB file limitation External Storage, Cant read NTFS

...I am going to be reviewing possibly one of the biggest console in the market currently the PS3. Firstly I have one and it is great, now let's take a look at it in detail: LAUNCH November 11, 2006: This is when it debut in Japan November 17, 2006: It released in North America March 23, 2007: Finally was released in Europe, Australia, the Middle East, Africa and New Zealand. The UK launch was a shock for who went to it, as it was announced that everyone in the queue would receive a 46" Sony Bravia TV worth £2000. The launches did not turn out great for Sony as initial figures were low, here are the figures below: Worldwide: 5.59 Million - Japan 1,341,000 - North America 2,105,500 - Other 1,300,000 The launch was initially supposed to be as follows: November 11th for Japan and November 17th for North America...

Review of Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3)

Another great console from Sony

Advantages: Really good graphics, Blue Ray player built in, wireless internet for free
Disadvantages: High price, loud fan when playing games

...Sony's next generation console was well worth the wait from the Playstation 2. I have owned a PS3 for just over a year now and I have so far had no problems with it and to see the quality of the graphics of any game was incredible, and it was such a step up from the PS2. Although Sony was late in releasing the PS3, it was worth the wait in the end, although I did consider getting an Xbox 360 instead. The Xbox 360 came out much earlier and allowed microsoft the oppurtunity to get more Xbox 360's out there before the PS3 was even out. However there have been many reported problems with the Xbox 360, such as the console freezing, so I thought I best play it safe and instead get the PS3 when I had some money. The PS3 also offers more benefits over the Xbox 360, like free online play and less reported faults with the console in general...

The Sony Underdog

Advantages: Great features for low price, Great value for money
Disadvantages: Smaller range of Lenses than competitors

...over the end exposure of your image. Shutter, aperture and ISO are just some of the aspects of the image you have to control with only a simple light level indicator allowing you to see if your image will be over or under exposed. This will let you get exactly the image you are after, albeit with a lot of practice. Blurring water and light trails will be easily accessible to you allowing you to capture stunning images. Lenses The kit lens supplied is the 18-70mm, f3.5-5.6 Sony lens that comes supplied with most of the Alpha range. This image works surprisingly well for the cost delivering sharp images even with the aperture fully open. It is not on par with a slightly pricier lens from Canon or Nikon but certainly does the job. Although it is slightly more telephoto than standard 18-55mm kit lenses the extra 15mm is not...

Review of Sony a (alpha) DSLR-A200K

Sony And Conscious

Advantages: Wait a minute, it's in the review
Disadvantages: Not many but the ones there are pretty shrill

...Tiny little professional. That?s what I call Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-T900. It?s perfectly aware what is expected of it, and does it with aplomb and alacrety. It is impressive and impressive all the way. It?s not just like that billions world over think of Sony first and then any body else while choosing a camera and prepaid pay for it. THE DESIGN: The Sony Cyber-Shot DSC T900, is an elegant, stylish, ultra compact digital camera with almost all the latest of technologies tucked inside it. Boasting of class with metal body , sliding front plate and folded optics. The wrist strap wounds up from the right to behave as a thumbrest. Just the power and shutter buttons right on top. The zoom ring loops the shutter release and a switch behind the ring to toggle between capturing movies and stills. Playback control is at the top of the screen...

Review of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T900

Sony, makers of best consoles. Nothing's changed

Advantages: The range of what you can do with it
Disadvantages: The price

...on at once and they interchange) the Xbox 360 will only output up to 720 layers. What makes the PS3 better than previous models is that even if there is a problem with the operating system (OS 1.50) Sony have been issuing various updates fixing bugs and giving new features. Some of the new features include: Being able to connect a printer, wirelessly connecting to a laptop to access music, videos and photos and also improving PS2 games' graphics to make them HD. There is currently an operating system 1.81. With lots to do on the PS3 and more coming all the time such as a promised updated Playstation store which may become like itunes where you can download movies and music etc. Overall this is a great console with amazing potential to be the best for a very long time. 10/10 to Sony....

Review of Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3)

  Another 5 star Sony!

Advantages: Great functions, east to use, looks and feels good and produces great images.
Disadvantages: The kit lens isnt the best and no live view may bother some.

...power is available to you so you never get caught out. Being a DSLR of course means that you are not stuck with the one lens and that is a good thing because se the kit lens that comes with this camera is the one thing that lets it down slightly, the 18-70mm lens that this unit is almost always sold with will do you fine to get used to the camera with but you will almost certainly find yourself looking at bigger and better lenses fairly soon after purchase but don't worry because this camera has lots of lenses available to it and many at very reasonable prices. The pop up flash isn't great either but then none are and the Sony has a hot shoe fitment so again you can upgrade your flash to an excellent Sony flash gun when you have mastered the camera and have the money. The Sony A200 is of average size and weight for a DSLR and depending...
