A few days ago, Sony announced several new interchangeable lens devices, including two from their compact NEX line – tiny, lightweight cameras that work almost like full-fledged DSLRs, complete with lens changes. Compact interchangeable lens cameras are a growing market, especially for people who don’t want a point-and-shoot, yet don’t feel that DSLRs are for […]
