Sony’s SLT a58 super snapper is a top notch camera that comes complete with an incredible electronic viewfinder, image stabilisation, and even video shooting powers - but how does fare with the rest of the DSLR pack? And will its small screen and pictu...

Sony's digital imaging division is kicking butt—at least when it comes to innovation. In the last year or so, they've debuted a groundbreaking compact camera (the RX100 ), a unique full-frame compact (the RX1 ), an affordable full-frame DSLR (the A99 ), a...
  • We'll admit the entry-level A58 is low on features, and tragically the Alpha series' speedy continuous shooting capabilities have been cut. But we think this camera's image quality is still pretty darn good. The A58 won't set records, but for $600 new it'...

Like all Sony DSLR-style cameras we have seen since the launch of the Alpha 33 and 55 in 2010, the Alpha 58 is based around the company’s translucent mirror technology, in which the moving mirror and pentaprism found in a typical DSLR are removed and repl...

The vast majority of SLRs we see on the street bear Canon or Nikon logos. Sony clearly wants to change this, and by our reckoning it's going about it the right way. Digital SLR technology is mature and refined, and ultimately there's little to choose b...
