The Xitek thread with the leaked NEX-5N commercial images has now been removed. On top you can see the last two small images of the NEX-5N.

Reminder: Those are the NEX-5N specs
16.1 MP Exmor sensor (Same us [shoplink 7207]Sony NEX-C3[/shoplink])
ISO 100-25600
1920×1080 60p/60i/24p AVCHD 2.0 video recording
Shutter 1/4000
10 fps
Can take over 430 shots with one battery
Same AF speed as the GH2

I got a bunch of new info from top sources:

1) Some of them (my sources) saw that you were concerned about the 500 shot autonomy of the A77. They wanted me to tell you that you are limited with 500 shots only when shooting in LCD mode! If you use the built-in viewfinder you will be able to take many more pictures!

2) On the A65 and A77 you can enable or disable the automatic lens correction (Vignetting, Chromatic Aberration and more).

3) It has AF fine tuning! Over 30 lenses can be “stored”.

4) With multiframe you can go up to 25.600 ISO

5) The new external viewfinder for the NEX-5n is “flexible” (don’t know if that means something more than tiltable)

6) Time lag to take a picture is only 0,02 sec!

7) All sources do repeat to me the AF is extremely fast and more accurate than Nikon and Canon cameras. They cannot give me data yet but they made some testing that do confirm that!

I can confirm you the A77 camera, the new 16-50mm f/2.8 SSM lens and of course the battery grip will have dust and moisture protection. I will make an A77 shower resistance test as soon as I can :)

Message to all my anonymous sources: Thanks for sending me all those info. Please understand that I will try to doublecheck every piece of info to avoid to make mistakes. Thanks!

The unreleased Sony A77 just has been nominated for the Design Award (Source: g-mark.org UPDATE: Now removed!). The website confirmed the rumors you saw first here on SAR. The A77 has indeed the new 24 megapixel Exmor CMOS sensor,  the “world’s fastest” burst rate of 12 frames per second,  60p and 24p video recording and “world’s first” XGA OLED electronic viewfinder (UPDATE: Source confirms the A77 can do 30p too!)

As you can see the Good Design Expo will start on Friday 26. This also confirms the release date is on August 24! Be sure to be here on that day at SAR to follow live the announcement!

A chinese Xitek forum user spotted what he says is the new Sony NEX-5N while Sony was shooting a new commercial. Nothing really spectacular here. Can’t wait to find any A77 and NEX-7 backstage pictures! Watch out for leaks, and make me a call when you find them! Thanks :)
