Word on the street has it that Sony’s flagship Alpha A850 SLR camera might just reach the end of the road, as B&H Photo has already posted a notice alongside the camera that “this item has been discontinued by the manufacturer and is no longer available.” In addition, the A850 also cannot be found on sale on the SonyStyle site, so if the manufacturer does not even carry said piece of hardware, could B&H Photo’s claim be true?

Sigma SD1 flagship DSLR unveiled

Sigma is a name that serious shutterbugs know when it comes to high end cameras, and for the company’s DSLR, the SD1 will be their new flagship. First introduced last summer, Sigma has certainly taken their time to roll it out to the masses – some say that’s because they want to make sure that everything is fine and dandy. Now with the Sigma SD1, you are able to shoot whopping 46-megapixel images thanks to its sensor inside that has a trio of layers, with each of them rated at 15.4 megapixels. The SD1 is the only shooter around that relies on Foveon’s 23.5×15.7mm APS-C X3 direct image sensor.
