Sony Alpha 77 Review
In the January 2012 issue, we tested the Sony Alpha 65 and were highly impressed, giving it an overall rating of 88%. While it offers slightly more in terms of build and features, the Sony Alpha 77 on test here has a very similar specification to the A65, even down to using the same image [...]
Painting with light – Creative Lighting techniques
While most photographers retreat to the comfort of their home with the onset of darkness, the nocturnal photographer can be found cavorting in car graveyards, forests, derelict buildings and other urban locations. They dress in black and go armed with anything that glows, from torches and lighters to sparklers and wire wool. We caught up [...]

Nikon quickly followed up its announcement of the D4 in January with another new ‘FX’ format D-SLR, the D800.

Ricoh CX6 Review
Equipped with a 4.9-52.5mm (28-300mm equivalent) f/3.5-5.6 Ricoh zoom lens, 1cm macro mode and 10-million-pixel sensor, the Ricoh CX6 is at its core the same as previous versions all the way back to the CX3.
