The german website slashcam.de reports that a new Sony firmware update will add more manual control for photocameras with video ([shoplink 3003]NEX[/shoplink] and new Alphas). The firmware update will be announced in three weeks (at Photokina). The info comes directly from Ichiro Takagi (Deputy President of the Imaging Business Group of Sony).
Finally you can use your Sony 24-70mm f/2.8 Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* lens o the NEX …with autofocus :)
According to SonyAlphaRumors sources Sony will soon announce a new firmware upgrade for [shoplink 3003]Sony NEX cameras[/shoplink]. The firmware will deliver autofocus for SAM & SSM
Imagine how it would be to use a [shoplink 3874]$6,550.00 lens[/shoplink] on you NEX camera! Yes such an expensive lens does really exist and of course it is a Leica ;)
Darren Chan posted some image samples on flickr taken with the NEX-5 and the Noctilux. Some other image samples have been also posted on SonyAlphaNex. That’s almost all you can find on the web, not many user are going to buy that lens to use it on the Sony camera! Check out the [shoplink 3874]Noctilux auctions on eBay (Click here)[/shoplink] to see how much that lens costs. If you need a very fast lens for your camera I suggest you to wait for our next post where we will show you “cheaper” alternatives!

“Today I was phoned by Sonystyle USA and informed that the Sony Alpha A560 pre-orders for ALL customers are being cancelled until at least January 2011 or until further notice. Sony removed the Alpha A560 from its website completely a few days ago, and now pre order customers are getting word that production is being delayed until next year. This is an unfortunate occurance as I was very excited about the A560 and have never seen Sony do this before.
No word was given on the A580 units being available outside the US territories.”
BHphoto still says that the Sony A560 will be in Stock in October
P.S.:
– The Sony A55 will be in Stock in October
– The Sony Zeiss 24mm f/2.0 in November
– The Sony DT 35mm f/1.8 SAM Lens in October
For our german readers:
Sony Alpha 33 is in Stock on eBay Germany!
