Almost exactly one year ago Sony launched the NEX-7 camera that quickly became a hotseller. Despite the price the camera still constantly remains in the top 20 of the Amazon mirrorless rankings (Click here to see). And now Sony is going to expand the concept with the new NEX-6! Coming in September this will be a sort of “mini-NEX-7”. It has an integrated viewfinder like the NEX-7 but with a tiny bit lower EVF resolution. The camera will be cheaper than the NEX-7 and price right in the middle between the NEX-5F (also coming in September) and the current NEX-7.

I am still working on the NEX-6 camera specs. So stay tuned on SAR! Lot of Sony stuff coming in one month and I am here to give you the details as soon as I can!

A trusted source just told me that four of the new Alpha Mount lenses, the 70-200, 70-400 and 300 2.8 and the 50mm have not been confirmed for a Photokina release. And that it is very likely that these will be available later in Q4 2012 or Q1 2013. I don’t know yet if Sony will decide to show these lenses on an eventual new Alpha Lens roadmap or as prototype.

I hope other trusted soruces can read this and confirm me the delay in these four lens release. Thanks!

After the news we had yesterday about the two new NEX cameras many here commented that we need more lenses…not only more cameras :)

I just got a rumors from a new source saying that three new NEX lenses will be announced in September. One is the already mentioned 16-50mm pancake zoom. Another one will be the 11-18mm f/4 pancake and than we will have a fast prime lens.

Dear trusted sources let me know if we are right on this! Thanks!

Just a reminder. Back in February Sony unveiled the roadmap you see here on top. It contains the following lenses:
G standard zoom (2013)
higher magnification zoom lens (2012) -> I think that this is the updated 18-200mm lens announced two months ago
standard zoom (2012) -> Now we know this is the 16-50mm pancake G zoom.
wide zoom (2012) -> I guess this is the 11-18mm f/4.0 lens
middle magnification zoom lens (2013)
big aperture prime (2012) -> a 35mm prime???
middle range prime (2013)
pan cake (2013)
