Sony A850

A German online retailer, Fotobrenner has listed the Sony A850 for 1.999,00€, which is a discount of about 500€ off the A900.

Fotobrenner has also posted an image of the A850 on its product page, which is either the same body as the A900 or is a Photoshop job to give us something to look at.

Sony A850 Listing

Recall that the Sony A850 manual was leaked directly from Sony a couple weeks ago.

What do you think?  Legit?  Or is Fotobrenner just following the rumor trail like the rest of us?

Here’s a few videos that show off the new Nikon D300s and give you a little taste of what you can expect from the video capabilities.

I don’t know that we needed the subtitles on the last one; however, it was nice to see a little more of a home cooked version of video from the D300s. More info about this camera is available on Photography Bay’s Nikon D300s Reviews and Resources.

underneath a star by jaeWALK

Every year, I try to make it to the beach with my family if possible.  Since we don’t live near the beach, it’s always special for us to see the ocean, play in the sand and splash in the waves.  It’s also a challenge to try to get above average beach pics.

There are so many things competing against good photos at the beach – midday sun, tons of people, keeping track of kids, that fat guy that’s always in the background and keeping sand out of your camera.  Below, you’ll find 23 awesome beach images that beat the elements and the odds.  Granted, these are not your typical family vacation photos; however, with a little bit of effort, there’s no reason you can’t bring a few images like these back from your next trip to the beach.
