Sony’s NEX 3N is in some ways, a large deviation away from the traditional NEX line but in many ways makes a lot of sense. A while back, we gave the camera our first impressions, and really liked it. Though the ergonomics were a bit out of the normal for us, after lots of use it started to make sense to us. And for what it’s worth, Sony is giving the entry level mirrorless camera user quite a bit of power.

Like many other journalists, I spent a week in California with Sony; trying out their gear and getting myself into trouble while doing so. It was fun. On the trip, the company brought out their latest addition to the NEX line of cameras: the NEX 6. Though I was still personally much more smitten with their full frame sensor products, the NEX 6 felt like the perfect fusion between the NEX 7 and the previous 5n.
And man, can it deliver.
Before we go on though, you can check out more coverage from the event:

The Canon 5D Mark III is one of the most highly anticipated cameras ever released. The 5D Mark II has been a workhorse of a camera for many wedding and portrait photographers, but has also been maligned by these same photographers for the shortcomings. With it came some incremental upgrades to address the Mk II’s supposed shortcomings as well as adding on some other features.
In the end though, is it right for you? More importantly, is it worth the upgrade from the 5D Mk II?

The day I shot the images in this story is the day that Adobe released the update to allow Lightroom 3 to edit images from the Canon T3i. In Day 1, we gave some first impressions of the Canon T3i and we also did a quick video test. When I first got the unit, the RAW file support wasn’t released yet. The good news: I shot these with the very good Canon 35mm F/1.4 L: perhaps my favorite lens and on our list of recommended glass. While doing this, I never went above ISO 1600. But it’s not all wonderful.

When we finished reviewing the Olympus EPL-2, the RAW file support hadn’t been released yet for Adobe Lightroom 3. With the latest release of Lightroom 3.4 RC, that support is now available. In our review, we gave the camera rave reviews for JPEG image quality. RAW files are supposed to be more versatile in the editing process, so it would only make sense that the processing would be amazing, right?
