Photorumors also got confirmation about the camera specs we posted a while ago (+ some new specs). We also know that the A55 will be officially called A55 and the A580 will be called A580v. That because they have built-in GPS!

The swiss website Artaphot.ch (yes it is in english) wrote a very good comparison between the new Zeiss 24mm lens, Zeiss 24-70mm, [shoplink 3034]Zeiss 16-35mm[/shoplink], Minolta 24mm and Miolta 17-35mm lens! The new 24mm Zeiss delivers very sharp images “more than 90% of the full frame are displayed with perfect resolution and nearly perfect contrast.” and “the image quality of the 2/24mm @ f2 is comparable to the image quality of the ZA 2.8/24-70mm @ f 11“. Thanks Artaphot for sharing us that very good review!
David Kilpatrick created a new Adobe Lens Profile for the [shoplink 2998]16mm f/2.8 NEX[/shoplink] lens! It automatically corrects CA (Chromatic Aberration), Vignetting and Distortion.

Kurtmunger tested the [shoplink 2996]18-55mm E-mount lens[/shoplink]: “The NEX e-mount 18-55mm makes a great lens to keep permanently on your NEX camera”
