A year ago Sony launched the NEX-7 and I remember quite many readers here said why the heck Sony is using a 24 Mega-pixel APS-C sensor? Many here wished to see a version with lower resolution sensor (and cleaner High ISO). And indeed Sony heard your call and the new NEX-6 with integrated viewfinder will use a 16 Mega-pixel APS-C sensor. And from what I heard the sensor is not the same 16 MP sensor of the [shoplink 7207]Sony NEX-C3[/shoplink], [shoplink 8452]Sony NEX-5n[/shoplink] and so on…it’s a completely new one! The camera has WiFi and is priced between the NEX-5 and NEX 7 series. Easy math: the NEX-7 is $1199 (at Amazon) and the NEX-5n is $699. So around $950 for the NEX-6 I guess :)

I have been told there is more innovation than we think within the NEX-6. I am working on these rumors too. Stay tuned!

I am getting more rumors from Super trusted sources:

1) A new HVL60 flash is coming along the A99 in September and it will have a super unique feature. Continuous LED light which is perfect for video recording! He said that also the new A99 vertical grip has some unique features.

2) The new hotshoe will be IAS combines with ISO hot shoe, so that a99 can use both ISO flashes and IAS video accessories from Handycam.

More rumors coming in eveyr hour…I am working to post everything as soon as I can! P.S.: Help me to push the SAR fabeook site :)

Guys I don’t know what to think about this. While the source of the info usually posted good info I think there may be some mistake here. So I don’t know how to rate it. The source posted this on an Asian forum called Sonysdf (Translation here).

The source claims that unlike my previous rumors the 16-50mm has a constant f/2.8 aperture! P.S.: I would be happy to see he is right! That is my main doubt on the list you see below. The list includes E and A mount lenses:

E16-50 F2.8 OSS
E35/1.8
E11-18 F3.5-4.5
A50/1.4 SAM with all time manual focus
A50/1.2 ZA Planar SSM
A70-400 GII

If that is true than it sounds sooooo good :)

DynaxDigital forum user REX posted some A99 report, the A99 has:

Dual focus system-first
Battery grip like [shoplink 13162 ebay]Dynax 9[/shoplink]-The battery in the body of the camera stays in so you can have additional another two in the grip
1 pure SD and one SD/MS slot like a77
Perfect camera for video because a lot of accessories are for video made
The camera is incredible fast on autofocus….

Now SAR reader, you can guess what “Dual focus system” means :)
