In one year I never saw any price drop on the NEX-7. And now there is that huge $370 price drop via BigValue on [shoplink 13670 ebay]eBay US (Click here)[/shoplink]. The normal price would be $1199 (here at Amazon). It’s available in limited quantity only. There is no such huge deal in Europe. the cheapest price I found is at [shoplink 13673 ebay]Pixmania eBay (Click here)[/shoplink].

Almost exactly one year ago Sony launched the high quality [shoplink 8450]Zeiss 24mm f/1.8[/shoplink] E-mount lens. And at least in US that lens is still hard to find in Stock (and for the normal price!). You can now get a couple of them with Filter and Cleaner kit via [shoplink 13655 ebay]Beachcamera eBay (Click here)[/shoplink]. There is no way to get it for less. Right now the price is $1249 at Amazon (Click here).
Also today the NEX-5R didn’t manage to get significant preorders at Amazon (here is the ranking). My guess is that most of us are waiting for the new NEX-6 which features a 2,4k integrated viewfinder and for the rest the exactly same specs as the new NEX-5R.
Don’t know how reliable that info is but the largest worldwide online store Amazon just notified that the NEX-5R will start to be shipped from October 21th (Click here ot visit the product page). Anyway, not many of us seems to have ordered the new camera as it didn’t even manage to reach the top hundred of the mirrorless camera (pre)order ranking (Click here). I guess most of us are waiting for the September 12th announcement when Sony will unveil the NEX-6!

Many here on SAR own the superb RX100 camera. If you need a filter adapter for the camera check out the pictures and aluminium solution posted by the [shoplink 13486 ebay]German Photo design (Click here)[/shoplink]. Very smart!
The NEX-5R will very likely be priced at $699 (with kit lens) and compared to the current NEX-5N it will have a faster AF, Wifi and APP support. Coming on Wednesday. The NEX-6 will be announced in September while I don’t know when Sony will announce the new NEX lenses.
