Sony Alpha

Sony has pulled back the curtain on what it's calling the most technologically advanced camera that the company has ever released. The Alpha 1 leads the pack with a newly developed 50-megapixel sensor, 30 fps continuous shooting and 8K/30p video.

Sony's mirrorless Alpha series cameras have become hugely popular filmmaking tools, thanks in large part to the company's excellent sensors. At this year's CES, Sony announced it's starting up a drone business specifically to work with Alpha cameras.

Panasonic stunned us with how tiny it managed to make its full-frame 5S mirrorless video/stills camera, and now Sony has unveiled a proper full-frame rig some 30 percent lighter again. The alpha 7C puts pro-grade imaging in the most portable package ever.

The 12-24mm zoom is a jaw-dropping effects lens with a wider field of view than the human eye, and Sony has just released a pro-grade version with a constant f/2.8 aperture: the widest f/2.8 zoom ever made. A very interesting addition to a lens bag.

Sony's a9 absolutely knocked our socks off in 2017. Now comes the a9 II, which adds critical features like voice tagging and improved weatherproofing for professional shooters.

​Sony has announced an update to its a7 II mirrorless camera released back in 2014. The appropriately-named a7 III taps into the feature sets of Sony's a9 and a7R III cameras for the addition of back-illumination to the full frame sensor, improved autofocus and better battery life.​

In a somewhat familiar move, Sony has followed an RX camera refresh with a new full frame mirrorless model – the α7R III. Much faster and more capable than its predecessor, the Mark III delivers speedy burst shooting, features improved autofocus and promises mammoth battery life.​
