Nokia launched three feature-packed, mass market smartphones, bringing the latest smartphone functionality at attractive price points and including market-leading innovation with Symbian Belle. The Nokia 700, Nokia 701 and Nokia 600 extend the range of available designs, features and functionality in the Nokia Symbian smartphone range.  Symbian Belle powers all three, with single-tap NFC technology sharing and pairing, the most personal user interface so far and a more powerful mobile Web browsing experience.

While all three smartphones contain recognizable Nokia features, they each represent a very distinct set of priorities to allow users to choose what matters most in a smartphone. The most compact touch screen monoblock smartphone in the world (Nokia 700); a sleek and stylish smartphone with the world’s brightest mobile display for indoor or outdoor use (Nokia 701), and Nokia’s loudest entertainment smartphone (Nokia 600) all bring firsts to the Nokia product portfolio.

The Sony NEX-7 is slightly different, providing an insane 24.3 megapixels on such a small body.

Pushing the navigation button cycles quickly through various shooting modes, allowing enthusiasts to make custom adjustments and control images with the flexibility of a DSLR camera.

Sony announces the launch of 2 amazing entry-level DSLT, the Sony Alpha A65 and A77, both providing a significant specifications and feature bump from the Sony Alpha A35 and Sony Alpha A55.

One of the things I’ve always complained about the DSLT series of the Sony Alpha’s is the digital view-finder. Hopefully, this new XGA OLED Tru-Finder at 2,359k dots and providing 100% field of view will give a more accurate digital view of the real live shot without the grainy digital view, which was big problem (for me) in the other DSLT Sony Alpha.

  • Advanced version of award-winning Translucent Mirror Technology
  • 24.3 effective megapixel Exmor APS HD CMOS Sensor
  • Up to 10fps continuous shooting with Full-time Continuous AF
  • AVCHD Ver. 2.0 (Progressive) Full HD Movie at 60p (50p)
  • XGA OLED Tru-Finder™ for high-precision and versatile shooting
  • Compact design

The Sony Alpha A65 Translucent Mirror interchangeable lens digital camera will be available in Asia Pacific, including Singapore, from October 2011 onwards.

Sony is really giving a good fight with their DSLTs, and this new baby, the Sony Alpha A77, is just that. Spotting the largest (if I say so myself) 24.3 MP Exmor APS HD CMOS Sensor together with the XGA (2,359k dots, that’s a lot packed into such a small screen) OLED Tru-Finder digital view-finder and yet again increasing the continuous burst shots with auto-focus to 12 fps, this ruggedised (YES!) DSLT camera is truly a camera I don’t mind forking money out for.

  • 12 fps full-resolution continuous burst shooting with phase-detection AF
  • 24.3 effective megapixel Exmor APS HD CMOS Sensor and newly developed BIONZ image processor
  • Newly developed 19-point AF system with 11 cross sensors
  • World’s first* XGA OLED Tru-Finder™ with versatile information display
  • Quick AF Full HD Movie with AVCHD Progressive compatibility, and flexible P/A/S/M exposure control in manual focus mode
  • New design and ergonomics with world’s first* 3-way tilt Xtra Fine LCD and ruggedised, reliable handling

The Sony Alpha A77 Translucent Mirror interchangeable lens digital camera will be available in Asia Pacific, including Singapore, from October 2011 onwards.
