NEX rumours

[LucisPictor]

1) release a NEX-4 (16 Mio, 1080p Video) in May 2011 (its the successor of NEX-3). It will be available as a kit (no body only).

2) The successor of the NEX-5 is coming later, together with…

3) the NEX-7 (24 Mio) in October. The NEX-7 will have the the same sensor like A77 a lot of “mechanical” controls and superb build quality. The cost of nex7 together with 18-55 lens is ~1200€-1250€.

4) New lenses this year: 1,7/24 ZEISS, 3,5/30 Macro, 1,8/50 and 4-5,6/55-200.

But even with the "mechanical" control and perhaps a viewfinder, €1200?? WTF are they thinking?
And 24 MPix on an APS sensor? Good bye noise control!

Now, this "1,7/24 ZEISS" and that "1,8/50" are really interesting!!

Ummmm, Zeiss 24mm is interesting. It will be an AF lens, wont it?

BTW, my avater photo was shot with CV 40/1.4 with NEX5.
