 Sony A57 vs Canon 600D vs Nikon D5100 Specification comparison review, the Sony A57 is recently announced and Nikon D5100 and Canon 600D / T3i update (650D & D5200) may arrive soon, but before that let’s have a look to the specification comparison review all these three entry level DSLRs / SLT.
 Sensor and Megapixels: The new Sony A57 uses new 16.1 megapixel CMOS sensor (same as Sony NEX-5N), you get standard ISO range of 100-16000 and expandable up to 25600.
Nikon uses a 16.2-megapixel Nikon APS-C sensor and Canon uses 18.7 megapixels APS-C sensor, All these three sensor are based on APS-C format but the size for Nikon and Sony is bit bigger compared to canon.
AF system : The Canon uses 9 point AF system but AF is not available in video mode, both Sony and Nikon features advance AF system and AF during video mode.
The A57 model shares the more expansive A65 15-point AF system with three cross sensors delivering fast, accurate TTL phase detection autofocus. Newly enhanced Object Tracking AF keeps faces or other selected objects in sharp focus .
Shooting speed: Canon 600D features DIGIC 4 image processor and have Continuous shooting speed of 3.7 fps, Nikon D5100 comes with Expeed 2 image processor and have shooting Continuous shooting speed of 4 fps

 Leica X2 announced on 10th May 2012 with a price tag of $1,995.00, with Leica X2 you get more resolution and High ISO range. We have done a short comparison review below of X2 with X1 and also included some High ISO images of both X1 and X2,
Leica X2 is really better than X1 or you should wait for Leica X3? see the core specification comparison table
New Sensor: Leica X2 features High Resolution 16.2 megapixels APS-C sensor and approx 3 year old Leica X1 have 12.2 megapixels APS-C sensor.
ISO range: Leica X2 features ISO range up to 12500, X1 is limited to 3200.
Everything else remain the same including the price.
Leica HIGH ISO test done at polish website optyczne.pl, both Leica X1 and X2 images are saved in JPG format.
ISO Comparison – Leica X2 vs Leica X1
 Image Credit: optyczne.pl  Image Credit: optyczne.pl High ISO image of Leica X2 is not very impressive but have less noise than Leica X1, Leica X1 colors @ ISO 100 looks more Eye-Catching but image captured at ISO 3200 says a different story, X2 color output look same at low and High ISO level.

 Actuator capable of moving in the direction of the imaging element XYθ Canon patent a new sensor shift technology that will help the sensor to move with celestial object. The main objective is to capture clear night-sky / stars image without blurring them, this technology will be used in future with modified version of a camera built for astronomers (like Canon 60Da)
Patent Details
Self-interpretation and summary, Patent Document (translated by google)
- Patent Publication No. 2012-89960
- 2012.5.10 Release Date
- 2010.10.18 filing date
- Astronomical shooting
- When you shoot the valve, the star without being a point image, draw a light trail
- Equatorial
- By shooting with the equatorial tracking of the expression, get the point image
- Equatorial is a large-scale equipment has become
- Image synthesis formula
- By shooting multiple times to shift the image synthesis, Hoshino photo to obtain
- Not only part of the image can be used
- Canon ‘s patented
- (Sensor shift Shake Reduction formula body / li camera shake correction in)
- Imaging element can be moved in the direction of XYθ
- Angular rate sensor ( gyro (gravity sensor) has been incorporated), an acceleration sensor
- Carried out in two stages of preliminary shooting shooting and production
- Preliminary shooting
- Do bulb exposures
- Analyzing the image, get the location of the center of rotation of the diurnal motion of the star
- Production shooting
- Do bulb exposures
- By moving in the direction of XYθ the imaging element according to the movement of the subject, obtain an image without blurring
How stuff work? See the Image below
The system look similar to Pentax ASTROTRACER function, The O-GPS1 When mounted on the PENTAX K-5 or K-r camera body, the O-GPS1 provides couples the unit with the camera’s SR (Shake Reduction) system for the effortless tracing and photographing of celestial bodies. The unit calculates the movement of stars and other objects using the latitude obtained from GPS data and the camera’s alignment data (horizontal and vertical inclinations and direction) obtained from the unit’s magnetic and acceleration sensors. It then shifts the camera’s image sensor in synchronization with the movement of these objects. This means that all celestial bodies are captured as solid points rather than blurry streaks, even during extended exposures.
