REVIEW :

Sony is a famous name in the field of electronics customer.It is generally highly praises for its digital cameras and other electronic items.

Along with this wonderful merchandise,Sony is also coming up with latest updates of Image Data Lightbox bundled software applications ang Image Data Converter.The updated firmware would surely raise the perfomance capability of the camera. This update,on the other hand,would raise the entensity of images and decrease the amount of sound in certain circumstances. An interesting feature of the update is that it can manage flashes with non-ADI controls even at short distances.

Sony is quite posite about the recent updates of the firmware for its DSLR-A700 camera.As said by official source,"improved image sharpness and noise" is what is predictable from the newly revealed firmware updates.It is also revealedthat the update release include patches to Sony's RAW file converter.In most of the countries,Sony has already started giving online help to their customers for downloading the firmware updates.Anyway the results are yet to come,wether the new updates will actually help to get better photography or not is still uncertain.
