The
Sony Mavica FD-91 is at the top of Sony's Mavica range of cameras
(if you ignore the DSC-D700). Looking like something from a 1970's
future technology magazine it's certainly not the best looking
of Sony's range, but how it takes photographs is of course more
important.
This is a camera loaded with features,
and for those traditional photography enthusiasts out there looking
for 'full manual control', this camera gets pretty close.
Manual aperture and shutter priority
rank high on the list of useful features, along with full manual focus,
spot metering, manual white balance and a quite unbeliveable 14 x
zoom.
One
other quite unique feature of this camera is it's "steady
shot" optics, straight from Sony's camcorder range this interesting
piece of technology actually enables a floating lens at the far
end of the lens barrel which automatically adjusts for any camera
shake, thus the rather bulbous appendage on the end of the lens
barrel (you can of course switch this feature off if you prefer).

Many cameras today include built-in image stabilization systems, but when it comes to video that's still no substitute for a proper camera stabilization rig. The Ronin-S aims to solve that problem for DSLR and mirrorless camera users, and we think DJI has delivered on that promise.
The SiOnyx Aurora is a compact camera designed to shoot stills and video in color under low light conditions, so we put it to the test under the northern lights and against a Nikon D5. It may not be a replacement for a DSLR, but it can complement one well for some uses.
