(SR3) New EVF (electronic viewfinder) for the NEX coming soon?

Share

Months ago our sources told us that Sony were working on a new EVF for the NEX cameras. SO the following rumor found on getdpi cuold be true:

“Our local retailer (who has a great relationship with Sony and stocks their higher-end lenses like the 24-70 f/2.8, 85mm f/1.4 etc) states that a clip-on EVF is on the way for the NEX range shortly. A side effect is that one will not be able to use the EVF and the clip-on flash at the same time, since they share the same mounting spot. I think this might be interesting for folks who like to frame with a viewfinder than on the screen, and might save some battery power too.”

Sony just posted the new “Q1 FY2010 Consolidated Results” (Click here to download the .pdf report). For the first quarter 2010 Sony had a sales growth of 3.8% and an operating profit of 67 billion yen (about 588 million€). In particular the division  “Consumer, Professional & Devices ” that contains the section” Digital Imaging “can come up with a sales increase of 7% to 889.5 billion yen (about € 7.8 billion). Sonys target for 2010 is to sell 23 million digital cameras! Bring out the new Translucent and A7xx cameras and you will reach the goal! ;)
