In our Technical section: Sony’s new headline grabbing 24MP APS-C sized chip is featured in its Alpha 77 and 65 and Nex 7 models, and may soon be utilised by the likes of Nikon and Pentax.

The A12-Mount Leica M adaptor for the Ricoh GXR modular camera system makes it an interesting prospect for Leica M users and owners of legacy glass.
