Sony Intros alpha A900, Its First Full-Frame DSLR Camera

Sony Intros alpha A900

Photokina is just around the corner, so it's about time for the big boys in the imaging industry to start rolling out the big “guns” in preparation for this very important show. Thus, today, Sony has just announced the release of its first full-frame DSLR (digital single-lens reflex) camera, the α (alpha) DSLR-A900, accompanied by a couple of very useful accessories, which include two new lenses, a flash unit and a grip.

But first thing's first, let's take a look at what the A900 has to offer. Although it's largely based on the previous A700 (as far as the chassis and the controls are concerned), Sony's new DSLR packs a 24.6-megapixel, 35 mm full-frame CMOS sensor designed to take advantage of the resolving power of high-precision α (alpha) lenses, in the same time providing enhanced image detail and a wider dynamic range.

Furthermore, the camera incorporates a body-integrated SteadyShot Inside unit, which achieves an anti-shake effect equivalent to shutter speeds faster by 2.5 to 4 stops. This new unit provides stabilization for Sony, Minolta and Konica-Minolta wide angle, large-aperture lenses, and, according to Sony's statement, represents the “world’s first anti-shake system for a full-frame sensor”.

Internet Explorer 8 Incompatible with Yahoo Mail And Gmail, The newly released browser has compatibility issues with the two web services

Internet Explorer 8

Microsoft recently released a beta version of Internet Explorer 8 and, since we're talking about one of the most popular browsers on the web, lots of people downloaded, installed and tested it. However, some of them may encounter unexpected problems because IE8 doesn't support several important web services, including Gmail and Yahoo Mail. In fact, you may manage to log in using the "Emulate IE7" function but, the compatibility issues still exist.
Gmail
Gmail, Google's mail service available for free for anyone interested in it, supports multiple browsers as the Mountain View-based company mentions in the Help Center. Gmail works with Firefox 2.0 (Windows, Mac and Linux) and Internet Explorer 7 for Windows but you may also use it with other browsers, although it wouldn't be fully functional, such as IE 5.5 , Safari 1.3 , Netscape 1.4 and others. Moreover, for IE 4.0 , Netscape 4.07 and Opera 6.03 , you'll only get the basic HTML view of Gmail.
Now let's see what happens when trying to access Gmail with Internet Explorer 8. First of all, the default version of the browser, without the emulation of IE7; as you can see, I managed to log in into my Gmail account but it's all messed up and it looks like... Moreover, clicking on any link inside it, no matter if we're talking about settings or an inbox message, takes approximately 5 seconds until it's opened.
Internet Explorer 8 with IE7 emulation: the service works fine but the left menu which allows you to browse among the Gmail folders looks different and occupies more space on your screen.
Yahoo Mail
The new Yahoo Mail states that it supports IE 6.0 and newer, Firefox 1.0 and newer and Safari 2.0 and newer, on Windows 200, XP, Vista or later and Mac OSX or later. Since it says that IE 6.0 and newer is supported, this would obviously mean that later releases, including IE 8, are also compatible. Well, they're not. When trying to access Yahoo Mail with Internet Explorer, I got the well-known error: "Hmm... your browser is not officially support. The all-new Yahoo Mail hasn't been tested on your browser. You can choose to continue, or simply go to Yahoo Mail Classic."
