One of our new sources just sent us the codes of some of the upcoming new Sony products. Those are products that will be in Stock within the next couple of months:

HVL-F20S: That should be the new NEX flash UPDATE: Price 139 Euro at camara.fr
HVL-F40AM: A new Falsh for Alpha cameras
SAL-70300: That is the rumored new Sony 70-300mm f/4-5.6 SAM lens.
SAL-1024: That should be a new 10-24mm lens.

But the most intriguing code is the last one:
VG-C77AM: This is the vertical Grip for the A77! Certainly a sign that the A77 is coming. And as we already told you it should arrive in July. I hope the source can soon send me the code for both the new A77 and the NEX-7 :)

And now we got even more info about the future 30mm NEX and the other 6 future NEX lenses.
The 30mm macro lens is designed with 7 lens elements in 6 groups. One of them is an ED lens and three of them are aspherical. Minimum focusing distance is 10cm, filter size 49mm and weight 138g.

There will be six more NEX lenses to come in 2011/2012:
A Sony portrait lens 50mm f/1.8
The 24mm f/1.7 Zeiss
The telephoto zoom lens (should be 55-200mm f/4-5.6)
A medium telephoto lens
The Sony G standard zoom
A Sony wide angle zoom.

P.S.: The NEX flash will cost around $150 and have a coverage of 24-50mm.

As I already told you I do expect Sony to release the new NEX-C3, A35, new NEX flash and the new Sony 30mm f/3.5 macro NEX lens on June 3. Today I got more info about both cameras. The NEX-C3 and A35 will be in Stock by early August. And here are the specs:

NEX-C3:
16 megapixel sensor,
surprise: 200-12800 ISO (where is the ISO 100?)
HD video recording (why no FullHD?)
25 AF
same 3inch LCD as the NEX-5
The camera will also have the new picture effects (the NEX-3 and NEX-5 will get them with a firmware update)
The battery life has been increased by 20% compared to the battery life of the [shoplink 3003]NEX-5[/shoplink]
Price $599

A35:
16 megapixel sensor,
100-12800 ISO
FullHD 1080 AVCHD
New tele-zoom high speed shooting mode with 7 fps (???)
Same picture effects as the NEX-C3

So, we all saw that pretty nice leaked stuff, like the NEX-C3, the A35, the new NEX flash and the 30mm macro for NEX. And finally I can also tell you WHEN Sony will announce those products! On Friday June 3! You can follow the official announcement on SonyAlphaRumors. Be sure you and your friends will nto miss any rumor join us on Facebook and Twitter and follow our RSS-feed! The big question I cannot answer now is if the Zeiss 24mm f/1.7 will be announced too! Let’s cross the finger!

You can say bye bye to the A33 and NEX-3. Those cameras are now discounted and slowly going out of Stock:
NEX-3 at [shopcountry 3000].
A33 at [shopcountry 3620].

P.S.:  The more “serious” stuff like the A77 and NEX-7 will be announced in July!

We are getting very closer to the NEX announcements! Sony now officially labeled the NEX-3 and suprise suprise the NEX-5 as “Previous Models”! (Check that links at Sony UK). We know the NEX-C3 will be announced within the next couple of weeks but what the NEX-5 replacement is expected to be announced in autumn. Maybe Sony decided to push the NEX-C3 and to stop the production of the NEX-3 and NEX-5. I am now working to find out the exact date of the NEX-C3 announcement. Stay tuned on SAR!!!

We all already knew that this lens was coming. And now here it is. The Sony 30mm f/3.5 macro for NEX. Sony Service Canada does list the lens and the french store Camara.fr said the 30mm lens price is 259 Euro. But we can already tell you that’s certainly not the only lens Sony will announce within next couple of weeks More about that soon ;)

P.S.: Sony already made a 30mm but for Alpha mount and with f/2.8 aperture. Check [shopcountry 6843].

I still don’t know when Sony will officially launch the NEX-C3 but we got new info about the price and availability from new sources. The official price of the NEX-C3 with 18-55mm kit lens will be 549 Dollars/Euro. That’s the exact price of the current (discounted) [shoplink 3000]Sony NEX-3[/shoplink]. We have been told that there will be limited shipments in late June/early July. That because of the current production issues in Japan.

Keep following us because there will be new rumors soon. Those are busy weeks! Don’t miss rumors, join us on Facebook and Twitter and follow our RSS-feed!
