Sony NEX-7 rendering (not real images!)

I just found a new Sony NEX-7 rendering. This is not the real camera but a product of imagination ;)

UPDATE: The author of the rendering is Qing Xiang (http://timberwolf.zenfolio.com)

Reminder->There eas a rumor a while go that said that the NEX-7 would be announced at Photokina and:

“Design totally different to NEX5/3, and more bigger size
Spec unknow yet
Support XDCAM recording format
soonest release is on Sept, unless Panasonic announce GH2“

Nikon and mirrorless…

The following includes questions and answers at the Conference for the Medium Term Management Plan on June 18, 2010 (Source: Nikon.com). The most interesting part is here:

Q: What can you tell us about the new-generation digital cameras?
A: Although we considered a variety of so-called mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras for the digital SLR camera market, we discern the appropriate timing for the launch of our new-generation digital cameras based on the direction of the market demand.

Come on Nikon, you can do it ;)

UPDATED: Canon FD to NEX adapter on eBay!


Good news! The $loc = $_SESSION[‘geoip’];

if ($loc == ‘GB’ OR $loc == ‘UK’)
{ $sel = “1”; ?>Canon FD lens to Sony E mount adapter is available on eBay (click here!) }
if ($loc == ‘ES’)
{ $sel = “1”; ?>Canon FD lens to Sony E mount adapter is available on eBay (click here!) }
if ($loc == ‘IT’)
{ $sel = “1”; ?>Canon FD lens to Sony E mount adapter is available on eBay (click here!) }

UPDATED: Pierre (a SonyAlphaRumors reader) asked the seller on ebay about other adapter he is planning to release, here is his answer :
“thanks for the message… M42, PK sure… but not so soon… I will have: Canon EOS, FD, Leica M, M39, NIKON G (F) ready in a week…”
Thanks Pierre for sharing the news!

Tamron to make lenses for the Sony NEX and the Samsung NX system?

According to photorumors.com “First we will see APS-C mirrorless lenses for Sony NEX and Samsung NX. Tamron is designing 2 compact zoom and one macro:

* Compact standard zoom: 24-50mm f/3.5-5.6 VR
* Compact telezoom: 75-200mm f/4.5-6.3 VR
* Macro: 90mm f/3.5 VR“

And via 43rumors.com we learned that DSLRphoto wrote a facebook post which says that Tamron could soon make m4/3 lenses. The only issue I see with that “rumor” is that Sony is the major shareholder of Tamron and I don’t know if they really want to make the m4/3 sys

Panasonic compact non-interchangeable MicroFourThirds camera by early July?

According to rumors we received yesterday Panasonic will announce a new camera which will not be comparable with any camera released by Panasonic before. We are not talking about long awaited successor. The LX4 (or LX5) will be announced late July or before Photokina. And we are not talking about a camera with interchangeable lenses. The sources did not tell us exactly how it will look like but we from 43rumors believe it will be a MicroFourThirds camera with fixed lens.
The camera should be unveiled early July. We hope some of our sources can tell us more about that camera soon!

Thanks Heli. ;)
