Sony Launches A560 DSLR


A follow-up of the A550, the 14.2 megapixel Sony A560 retains features of its predecessor with improved noise reduction, 3D sweep panorama and Full HD 1920x1080 60i video capture.

Outstanding A550 features retained include Quick AF Live View, 7fps continuous shooting and Auto HDR.

Improved noise reduction in the A560 is facilitated by the APS-C sized Sony's Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor and the Bionz image processor.

Together they help achieve low noise up to ISO 12800, without sacrificing fine detail.

HD Movie Recording

The A560 captures Full HD (1920 x 1080i) video in high-quality AVCHD files that can be easily enjoyed on a compatible HD television via the camera's built-in HDMI terminal (cable not included). The camera includes built-in stereo microphones for high-quality audio recording.

Sweep Panorama Technology

The Sweep Panorama technology in the A560 model captures shots up to 180 degree horizontal or 126-degree vertical (18 mm focal length).

With 3D Sweep Panorama mode, the camera can shoot 3D panoramic still images with a single lens. The high-speed burst of frames is stitched together using innovative processing techniques to automatically create detail-packed 3D panoramas. These files can be enjoyed in stunning 3D on compatible 3D televisions (other accessories are required).

Accessories

The new camera accepts both Memory Stick PRO Duo (including Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo) and SD (including both SDHC and SDXC formats) media (all sold separately).

Price

The A560 model with the camera body and 18-55mm kit lens will cost about $750 and will be available in October. With the body only, it will cost about $650.

Katy Perry for GHD Hairdryers

Katy Perry for GHD Hairdryers Katy Perry continues working with the producers of GHD hair dryers and GHD hair care products: the singer once again demonstrated her luxurious hair in a fresh advertising campaign – this time she had the image of a diva from “the golden Hollywood” era (the pop-diva had already had the image of a hippie, a disco girl, and a mermaid). Luxurious dresses, bright makeup and a small portion of theatricality – one can immediately see that she is a star! The shooting was run by Ellen von Unwerth, who preferred to focus on restrained sensuality and the interplay of tones rather than on bright colors (the latter are always excessive with Katy) and presented black-and-white portraits of Perry to the public. The girl really looks perfect in the pictures : whether she is playing chess, recovering after a tiring concert or just getting ready to appear on stage. But whose merit is this: that of the photographer, the heroine, or maybe Photoshop?
