Reminder (SR = Sonyrumor):
SR1=probably fake rumor
SR2=rumor from unknown sources
SR3=50% chance it is correct
SR4=rumor from known sources
SR5=almost certainly correct!

And finally after long search SAR readers found these pics on Digicameinfo! These are 100% real (confirmed via my trusted sources). The image on top shows the 24 megapixel A7 with the 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6 kit lens. The image below shows the 36 megapixel A7r with the 35mm f/2.8 Zeiss lens. The 28-70mm lens is quite unexpected big (and well made). A si told you before the A7 uses not the same A99 sensor and the A7r not the same D800E sensor (without AA filter). This is a new version made for these cameras and to avoid issues on corners because of the very short flange distance. I hope the A7r can beat the D800E IQ performance..not bad for a camera that costs $800 less than the D800E ($3000 here at Amazon). The body is weathersealed and has a [shoplink 21676 ebay]Pentax LX “tank-solid” feeling[/shoplink].

Important: Announcement live blogging on SonyAlphaRumors Wednesday at 5-6am London time! Spread the news on the web! Be sure to subscribe the RSS feed (Click here) and Twitter (Click here) stream and the Facebook fan page (Click here) in order to not miss any news!

A7 and A7r 5% off deal coming for you! In a couple of hours I will share a secret $25 discount code for the A7 and A7r on Dealsrunner.com (subscribe it). You can use it the day you preorder the camera in a specific (well known) US store.

Four days ago only 37% of you liked the A7 based on the sketch. After the low resolution leak from yesterday 53% liked the design. And now that you have the full size images of the A7-A7r…

Important note: The camera shown on the teaser is not the A7/A7r!!!! It’s just to show that the DSLR world will be wiped away by the new FF E-mount cameras…lol :)

–

Many were so focused on the leaked A/ image that they missed to read my link to the Sony Japan teaser (Click here) and Sony China (Click here). The Sony Japan teaser says something like: “After we threw away a fixed idea of cameras (What cameras should be.), we can now see a new possibilities of the cameras.“…”The camera which no one has ever invented, new alpha, will be coming soon“. And the announcement date is (as rumored) this Wednesday October 16. be sure to be online on SonyAlphaRumors at around 5-6 am London time to follow the event live!

I got more tibits from anonymous sources (I guess most of what they write is right but I would not rank it as SR5 for now):
Source_1: The A7 and A7r do use the same E-M1 viewfinder which means 2,4million dots and a very high level of accuracy and no lag.
Source_2: A7/A7r will be using SD cards and NEX battery. Grip bigger than the current NEX 7 dunno good or bad. 7R to be more solid than 7 if you have hold them both not by looking at it from visual. U wont be able to add on shutter release accessories like the RX1 because it does not have the screw on

Thanks to all sources for your great help! We still don’t have the full camera specs. If you want you can share them via the anonymous contact form on the right border of this site or send me a message at sonyalpharumors@gmail.com. Thanks again!

Note: There are many fake images on the web. if I do not post them here it is because there are fakes. I will post only real images (if I see them on www).
