Sony DSLR-A580

16.2 megapixel, SLR, 3.00x Zoom

Sony A3000

20.1 megapixel, Compact System Camera, 3.06x Zoom

Some cameras are all about cramming in features; the Sony A3000 doesn't play that game. It's been pared down to the basics -- you get precisely what you need, and little more. But while rivals in its pricetag skimp on the basics with plastic lens mounts and years-old designs, Sony plays its own game, making an affordable camera that you'd actually want to own. But that's not to say that there are no compromises in the A3000. Read our in-depth Sony A3000 review, and find out whether Sony's hit the perfect balance between features and cost!

Released July 2010

Sony NEX-3N

16.1 megapixel, Compact System Camera, 3.13x Zoom

The Sony NEX-3N makes the step up from point-and-shoot to interchangeable-lens camera system as seamless as we've ever seen, employing a simple but effective user interface and placing a zoom lever right on the camera body. Perhaps more importantly, the NEX-3N -- backed by its relatively large APS-C-sized sensor -- takes great photos that outpace some higher-end mirrorless models, and even some DSLRs. While experienced photographers may focus on the camera's shortcomings, and will probably only consider it as a compact backup, entry-level shooters will love how easy the camera is to use, how fun and fast it is to shoot with, and how much bang for the buck the NEX-3N delivers.

Released April 2013

Sony NEX-5

14.2 megapixel, Compact System Camera, 3.00x Zoom

Released July 2010

Sony NEX-5N

16.1 megapixel, Compact System Camera, 3.06x Zoom

Sony's thin and light NEX-5N has the same basic form as its predecessor, but sports a new 16.1-megapixel sensor that's capable of capturing up to 10 frames per second and Full HD video at 60p. A new touchscreen adds a few new functions, and the NEX-5N continues the line's excellent image quality.

Released September 2011

Sony NEX-5R

16.1 megapixel, Compact System Camera, 3.06x Zoom

Released October 2012

Sony NEX-6

16.1 megapixel, Compact System Camera, 3.13x Zoom

Squeezing into Sony's compact system camera lineup between the acclaimed NEX-7 and the NEX-5R, the NEX-6 stands on its own as a high-performing hybrid -- marrying exceptional speed and image quality with more consumer-friendly features and controls. And though the NEX-6's "Fast Hybrid AF" system lags somewhat behind higher-end DSLRs, it's nonetheless pretty fast and decisive in most situations. Lightweight and compact, sharp and fast, advanced and easy-to-use: What more could you want from a camera at such an affordable price?

Released November 2012

Sony NEX-7

24.3 megapixel, Compact System Camera, 3.06x Zoom

The top of the line Sony NEX-7 is a compact system camera that offers enthusiasts excellent control over camera settings, as well as a built-in high-resolution electronic viewfinder. The biggest news, though, is the 24.3 megapixel APS-C sensor that shoots at up to 10 frames/second with incredible image quality, plus Full HD video. The Sony NEX-7 is easily the best camera Sony's ever made.

Released November 2011

Sony NEX-C3

16.2 megapixel, Compact System Camera, 3.00x Zoom

The Sony NEX-C3 continues the move toward smaller and smaller compact system cameras, with a build and software design that works well. Image quality is quite good, and though the interface isn't as straightforward as we'd like, the NEX-C3 is easy to recommend.

Released August 2011

Sony NEX-F3

16.1 megapixel, Compact System Camera, 3.06x Zoom

Sony's entry-level NEX-series camera has gotten a little bigger and heavier, but that's allowed for some pretty worthwhile upgrades. The LCD panel now helps when shooting self-portraits, and there's a built-in popup flash, too. Add great image quality and an affordable pricetag, and there's much to appeal to entry-level shooters.

Sony A58

20.1 megapixel, SLR, 3.06x Zoom

Replacing both the Sony A37 and A57 DSLRs in one fell swoop, the Sony A58 offers advanced photographic features and picture-taking skills at a consumer-friendly price. The A58 takes a big step up in resolution with a new 20.1-megapixel APS-C sensor, and it delivers pictures that are sharp and detailed, rivaling the image quality of much more expensive cameras. Although some sacrifices had to be made to drive down the cost -- namely a plastic lens mount rather than a metal one, and a simplified LCD screen -- the Sony A58 still stands out as one of the best entry-level DSLRs we've ever reviewed, as well as one of the best camera values on the market today.

Released April 2013

Sony A77

24.3 megapixel, SLR, 3.13x Zoom

Making a major leap in the camera market, the Sony A77 reaches into pro territory, able to capture 12 frames per second with a 24.3-megapixel camera that feels great and handles like your typical enthusiast digital SLR. Its optional 16-50mm kit lens also delivers excellent quality for the money.

Released October 2011

Sony A99

24.3 megapixel, SLR

The Sony Alpha A99 boasts some of the most impressive technology ever placed in a DSLR, even more advanced than what's found in many high-end pro models. It's a fast-shooting, fast-focusing, weather-sealed, video-friendly and eminently customizable camera, all in a smaller and lighter package than its competition. As such, the A99 marks Sony's first -- and long-awaited -- attempt at becoming a true player in the pro DSLR arena.

Its more modest 10x zoom nonetheless starts out wide, ranging from 25-250mm, making the Sony HX7V a great travel camera. Full HD video, GPS, several flavors of iSweep Panorama, and a multitude of multi-shot modes fill out a very capable camera design.

Sony RX1

24.3 megapixel, Mid-Sized, Non-Zoom

With a full-frame sensor placed inside a compact body -- married with a fast, sharp 35mm Carl Zeiss lens -- the Sony RX1 achieves what was once almost unthinkable -- an almost-pocketable camera that delivers stellar hi-res images. The RX1 is the ultimate everyday street shooter or second camera for serious enthusiasts, pros (and trendsetters) alike, but its high price means it's not for everybody.

Released December 2012

Sony RX1R

24.3 megapixel, Mid-Sized, Non-Zoom

Sony achieves the seemingly impossible with the Sony RX1R, surpassing the resolving power of its award-winning, full-frame RX1 compact camera by removing the optical low-pass filter and tweaking JPEG processing. Most of the gains are found in the RX1R's JPEGs, with RAW files showing only the slightest improvements in sharpness and detail. Photographers who choose the Sony RX1R over its near twin will have to weigh these advantages over the new model's increased risk for moire and aliasing. But since the RX1R is available at the same price, it's a risk many might find worth taking.

It vanishes in a pocket and simply oozes style, but the handsome Sony TX200V compact still boasts features aplenty: a stabilized 5x optical zoom, touch-screen, weather sealing, and GPS receiver. Though its touch-screen interface can be a bit confusing at times, we still liked the Sony TX200V.
