I just got the link to the following NEX-7 picture! I have been told this is a preproduction version! One of my sources said the image is original but the final model could have some differences!!! As you see the NEX-7 has a rangefinder style a là [shoplink 6075 ebay]Fuji X100 (Click here to see that camera)[/shoplink]! As you know the NEX-7 will feature the same A77 24 Megapixel sensor and a 3 million dot OLED EVF (it is not a hybrid viewfinder!). It has the Zeiss 24mm f/1.8 attached (but that is also a prototype). The camera should cost around $1.200.

UPDATE (Mark explanation):
1) 3 Million dot OLED EVF
2) Hot shoe
3) 24mm f/1.8 ZEISS
4) Flash and the Image preview buttons
5) Pop-Up flash
6) Manual Aperture and Shutter Speed controls?
7) ???
8) ???

Stay tuned on SAR. I am still working to get more info about the A77 pictures leaked yesterday. Don’t miss any rumors. Join us on Facebook, Twitter and follow our RSS-feed!

The Megapixel war will never be over. Pixelnumbers will increase and the size of the pixel decrease. One of the downside is that the diffraction limit will get worser and worser. Sony had an idea on how to use a special refractive element positioned between the lens and the sensor. You can read more at Egami (google english translation).

Oh! Just came back from my last montain trip and just found this images in my mailbox. I am still trying to get a 100% confirmation from my sources if those pictures are fake or real.

UPDATE: For reference only. Below you can see a REAL image of the A77 and A65 cameras.

Yesterday a new source told us that Sony will announce the NEX-5E and NEX-7 in August. In the meanwhile our trusted sources confirmed that the rumor is correct! They said the NEX-7 price is still not 100% deifnitve ($1.200 with kit lens) but they added that both new cameras will be available in October.

Those are all current NEX cameras:
Sony NEX-C3. Is the newest NEX you can preorder at [shopcountry 7207].
Sony NEX-5. Is going to be replaced by the NEX-5E and is currently discounted (at least in US). Check [shopcountry 3003].
Sony NEX-3. Is dicontinued. Check [shopcountry 3000].
Sony NEX-VG10. This is the NEX camcorder. Check [shopcountry 3058].

[shoplink 3003][/shoplink] Pictured on top: The NEX-5 could be replaced soon…

A new source just sent me the price for the NEX-7. It should be selling for $1.200 with kit lens. And the same soruce said there will be a NEX-5E too (price unkown yet). Both camera will be announced in late August. There will be also new NEX lenses (See Zeiss 24mm f/1.7). I ask my sources if they can confirm that. In the meanwhile keep in mind that this a rumor with low rating (SR2= 20-40% the rumor is correct).

Anyway, there is a new rebate ongoing on the [shoplink 3003]Sony NEX-5[/shoplink]! I guess Sony wants to clear the NEX-5 stock to get ready for the NEX-5E ;) Check the $50 rebate at Amazon (Click here), Adorama (Click here), B&H (Click here) and J&R (Click here).

Reminder:
The newest NEX camera (the NEX-C3) has been announced in June and you can preorder it now at [shopcountry 3000] (Click on shop names to visit the direct search page).
