According to the trust-worthy reports from Sony Alpha Rumors, created from word for numerous known sources, Sony is prepped and ready to unveil the successor to the acclaimed NEX-7 in April and further develop upon an already class-leading mirrorless camera.
Sony Alpha Rumors has just received and shared the first leaked image of the upcoming Sony NEX-3N – the successor to the current NEX-F3 and what’s appearing to be just a slight update over its predecessor.
According to the report associated with the leak, the Sony NEX-3N will pack the same 16.1MP APS-C sized sensor found in the F3, with the only major differentiations between the two cameras coming in regards to that zoom control dial shown in the image above – an addition clearly added in lieu of the two E-mount power zoom lenses Sony has recently released.
One of the more interesting finds at this year’s CP+ imaging show in Yokohama, Japan may have come from the unlikely collaboration between Kipon and German lens maker IBE Optics, and their unveiling of a new, super fast, f/0.85 standard prime for a variety of mirrorless camera systems.
Well, it’s been speculated for quite sometime, and now that we’ve witnessed Sony’s willingness to pack a 35mm sensor in a pint-sized body, a-la the RX1, the full-frame mirrorless interchangeable lens camera (MILC) talk has once again picked up steam, with the historically reliable folks at Sony Alpha Rumors citing word from sources which point to the aforementioned.
Without question, Sony has been spearheading the mirrorless camera movement and backing up the claims that DSLR quality can be found in much smaller packages with the success of their NEX line and stellar compact system cameras. While Sony has historically left the performance of their respective camera offerings do most of the talking, choosing to follow the traditional means of advertisement, their Australia branch has decided shake things up a bit, creating a humorous take on way bigger isn’t necessarily better, and how the future of photography will be a mirrorless one via a new YouTube channel called “DSLR Gear No Idea.”
You may recall last month, we reported word that Zeiss was planning to bring a new family of lenses to mirrorless cameras, in particular, the Fuji XF and Sony NEX systems. Today, courtesy of the lens maker’s official Facebook page, we now have our first good look at a few of the current lens mock-ups – a 12mm f/2.8 and a 32mm f/1.8 shown above.
In the spirit of all the exciting news coming from Photokina 2012, Zeiss has decided to take to their official blog and spill the beans on what the foreseeable future will hold for our mirrorless camera system owning friends – In particular, the Sony NEX and Fuji XF shooters of the world.
Last week, amid the flurry of Sony NEX-5R of image leaks, came our first look at the NEX-6 – the younger sibling to the acclaimed NEX-7. Today, another image leak has emerged, (shown above) once again showing Sony’s new EVIL in all its glory.
After briefly teasing its existence and expected release on their official website, Samyang has made their super wide-angle plans for Sony NEX and Samsung NX cameras official, announcing the 180 degree field of view, 8mm f/2.8 ED AS IF UMC Fisheye Lens.
