Been a while since I last blogged and there has been a couple of announcements from Sony which I haven't mentioned. The first I will talk about is the three new lenses that were announced last month.

New Sony DSLRs that will be announced very soon
With Photokina coming up there is going to be ton of new announcements from all the camera manufacturers with new cameras, lenses and other photographic equipment. I'm hoping Sony will announce the new a7xx so I can hopefully buy it before my trip.
Sony also announced their new consumer camcorder, the NEX-VG10E. Headline features for this new video camera include:
• 14.2 effective megapixel ExmorTM APS HD CMOS sensor (19.5 times larger than conventional camcorder) for stunning images with beautiful background defocus
• Accepts E-mount interchangeable lenses plus A-mount α DSLR lenses (via optional adaptor)
• High quality audio with Quad Capsule Spatial Array Stereo Microphone and external mic input
• 7.5cm (3 inch-type) Xtra Fine LCD and electronic viewfinder
• Accepts E-mount interchangeable lenses plus A-mount α DSLR lenses (via optional adaptor)

Seems like Sony are announcing something new every month and I can't wait to see what they introduce this month and next month. Thats all for my tech news.
I am currently writing up the captions and organizing my photos for my 319 project. Its actually takes up a lot of time and that will be up very soon. Hopefully I'll have it finished by tonight.
Thats all for now.
Thanks for reading!
