Over the years, the British Journal of Photography has reviewed hundreds of cameras from the leading manufacturers. Here is a list of all digital SLRs and links to their BJP reviews (registration required).

After Canon and Nikon had to face leaks about their new digital SLRs, it's now Sony's turn. A series of ads have been published in a Danish magazine unveiling the firm's next flagship camera the A900! It features a 24.6 million pixel resolution sensor, Sony's Dual BIONZ image processing engine, "Intelligent Preview," a 3inch "Hybrid LCD," a burst rate of five frames per second, a 9-point Centre Dual-cross AF and, of course, Sony's SteadyShot image stabilisation system.

The camera was expected to be unveiled only next week. BJP will have more soon.

Sony is holding an European press conference in Edinburgh. BJP is there and will report later today on the latest news announced. But already the rumours are flooding message boards ever since an official ad was published in a Danish magazine last week. The ad refered to a new 20+ million pixel resolution digital SLR.

14:30 - The conference has started

Sony has unveiled its flagship DSLR - the A900
The 24.6 million pixel resolution camera features a 35mm full frame sensor, dual BIONZ processors. It shoots 5fps at the maximum resolution. Its viewfinder offers 100% coverage and features a 9-point auto focus.

Adobe, Apple, Canon, Microsoft, Nokia and Sony have just announced in a joint conference at Photokina the publication of guidelines to standardise metadata in JPEG files.

BJP was there, and you can read a full report on our website. But we thought we would share a few interesting points made during the press conference.

We now know that the guidelines will help developers across the six companies to engineer common metadata fields allowing for all imaging information to be transfered any other application without losing any data. While common details such as the name of the photographer, camera used and lens information are covered, the consortium also said that the fields would also support GPS information for the location of the photographer AND of the subject taken.

Adobe also said that currently 'in cases when data can be stored in more than one place, we duplicate it everwhere,' it said at the conference. Also, the consortium is looking at expanding its work to video files, especially since Canon and Nikon have introduced video capabilities to their newest cameras.
