PMA 2008

Sony Alpha at PMA- The complete experience

Sony at PMA: A strong presence

PMA entrance

As soon as I came down the escalator into the showroom floor and saw Sony's booth, I realized that I was in for a real treat (admittedly, this is my first PMA experience and my enthusiasm will show throughout my report). When I walked over to the front of the booth you see here, I realized what I had come for was on the other side. However, as I approached the booth the first display that I noticed was the "Long Lens" SSM display showing the 300mmG, 70-200G, and the brand new 70-300G (second shot) which seems to be perfectly paired with the A700.

Sony 55-200 at PMA: Up close look, more details revealed

Sony 55-200 at PMA, hands on report:

The Sony 55-200 has been an area of interest for me since I did the Tamron 55-200 review a couple months back (we will update our site with that review soon). There are claims from some sources that the Sony 55-200 has a more popular, larger diameter front element and, that it does not rotate like the Tamron model. This would be a more filter friendly feature (such as a polarizer).

PMA Coverage 2008 (News just added!)

Besides the world stopping press our site received for its debut :), we decided to up the ante a bit more by providing you our readers, up to date information from PMA '08. I will be there to get as much interesting information as I can possibly absorb, about the new and exciting products from the Sony booth for DSLRs.

Sony Announces Alpha A300 and A350 Live View DSLRS

As expected at today's PMA press conference, Sony has announced two brand new DSLRS, the Alpha A300 and A-350.

A300

Sony aggressively enters 2008 with a new DSLR, and today it announces two more. The 14.2-megapixel Alpha A350 and 10.2 megapixel A300. These are also Sony's first entries in the Live View technology category, which promises to be the best way to resolve this technology to date on any DSLR brand.
