According to three trusted sources Sony decided to postpone the NEX-7n launch. The new launch date is not set yet but I have been told it’s not that far away. I don’t know the reason why they delayed it…but I hope to have some more details soon.
UPDATE: Of course Sony itself hasn’t announced a NEX-7n release date yet so this isn’t an “official” delay. It’s all based on rumors we get from our sources 🙂
Very important: Back in late 2012 Sony removed the SLT-FF high end model from the 2013 roadmap. And now they delayed the NEX-7n. Sounds like Sony is slowing down the roadmap to convoy resources on the FF-NEX development. But that’s just my easy and probably unjustified guess.

Well, my guess would be that they realize that the sensor has to something special and not the ones used by a much cheaper Nikon cam.
It has to be a true upgrade to the 7 otherwise not many will buy it. Very simple.
something that was never announced cannot have delay 😉
yep, of course. From a pure speculative “rumored” point of view this has been delayed. Of course you are free to ignore my rumors 🙂
best comment )
Maybe sony wish to hold the NEX-7 and see if any special on the new tiny EOS from canon…
Although I don’t think it will made any threat with NEX-7….I’m a canon user but actually the tiny EOS with the spec. as leaked is not very promising……
My thoughts exactly, the tiny EOS is just an old 550D/EOS-M in another package. Same sensor, same viewfinder, same everything, just made as small as they could.
As a (semi-pro) Canon user I’m waiting for the NEX-7n and then for the FF Nex so that i can ditch Canon completely.
So do I , NEX-7n is much more promising then a tiny EOS…. for OVF dSLR , I will wanna a camera which is reliable , fast response , nice OVF…… size? Not my concern….. I will buy a nex , M , even a M43 is much better then a small 550D….
If canon manage to made a camera with spec better then 7D but size is smaller then Panny’s G-5 , then maybe I will think about this….a small camera with beginner spec……. give me a break….
Hi
At Photokina 2012 I hada chance toplay with the EOS-M a little bit.
It was quite ok, exceptfor the unreliable and unbelievable slow AF – which is a knockout for almost every serious photographer.
I already ditched my 5D’s (never owned a 5D3, just 2 mk2’s) for the NEX 7 and 5n combo with an RX100 for wingman. Besides the roughly 2/3 stop difference of better ISO on the 5Ds, I never wanted to have them back. You could, arguably, have made that switch last year like I did but at the time there were not many native lenses.
Now there are, although I don’t own more than 2 (24 and 50) because I don’t need the rest really.
NEX is capable already of delivering. Trust me. Magazines I have worked for never complained one bit.
what magazines have you worked for?? I think thats a awesome combo. I have a nex-6 and f3 but the girl wants the F3 so I am probably gonna get the 5R to go along with the 6.
I’m actually waiting because I’d really like a FF sensor, for my kind of stuff it makes quite a difference as my mostly used lens is the 50L. On a FF NEX I’d get a Summilux probably.
I forgot to ad: What a downer with the specs of the new small SLR… I am happy I left Canon already because this is an insult. Same sensor that was used in the 7D since 2009 and what? 5 cameras since then?
Seriously trying to save cash there.
7 is a great camera as it is. Better release major firmware upgrade and concentrate on sensible FF models.
Agree that 7 is a good camera. But even with the 7 I’m annoyed by the AF in difficultlight/contrast situation where neither my A77 at that time nor my A99 have issues with.
I see your point. I’m learning how to manual focus now so please ignore my ignorance.
Problem can be partly solved if you know you have to choose an area to autofocus with high “vertical” contrast, not horizontal. I always had problems with the AF of my 7 until I figured it out. Of course better autofocus is always welcome anyways for the new model, but it won’t be a reason for me to upgrade as the rest of the camera is still superb for my use.
I dont get how delaying the NEX-7N will divert resources to the FF-NEX, given the RX1 was developed in over 2 years, the FF-NEX must be on a drawing board for even longer
The delay is most likely caused by the simple fact that most projects overrun. The last 10% of the development takes longer than planned.
Yep. Totally agreed. I hardly see any connection between this and NEX-FF.
If anything – they found a firmware issues and don’t want to score another failed release to the degree A77 firmware was complete garbage at the day it hit reviewers and stores.
People waited for years before Sony released the successor of their 7 series in A mount.
We should also be more patience with the successor of the 7 series in E mount…..
People like me did, however I suspect a large bunch went and bought a D300s/D7000. Yet another missed opportunity made by Sony’s lack of direction.
Bummer! I am craving some leaks now…this has been some dry weeks 😉
Just a E-mount lens leak or something…
Though I’ve been tossing around the idea of upgrading from the 5n to the 7 mostly for the slightly larger size and physical controls (I actually find the 5n to be almost too small!) I am even more interested in the upcoming premium standard zoom lens. I am able to take some amazing photos with the 5n and fairly sharp with the basic kit zoom, but thinking of the possibility that my images could be even sharper has me drooling. Sadly I’m so impatient with either news of the 7n or new NEX lenses (a quality telephoto would be nice), that I’ve been considering Nikon’s upcoming D7100. I really do love the portability of my 5n but I hate having to wait for quality e mount lenses. There is some great glass out now don’t get me wrong, but not for the focal lengths I am interested in.
“…been told it’s not that far away”
A delay of mere weeks then? That cannot mean there will be any big last minute changes to the 7n. Time is too short for that. Production capacity issues perhaps?
Sh*t happens
I hope the delay is so the marketing execs can re-consider the price point.
Damn… sony is really scratching my curiosity.. I agree.. prolly the pricing or maybe a firm upgrade. I dont see sony doing a major hardware changes a month before the supposed release.
Any news about the a78? Guessing they’d launch both on he same day…
hope so.
Hi Andrea:
Any news on high end SLT-FF? (i remember weeks/few months ago, u mentioned it might come back on roadmap, and sony is also developing new OVF technology)
Do you have any news on if SONY will implement IBIS effect (pre-)viewed in EVF of SLT model? just like Canikon’s IS/VR in lens.
I guess many guys will need those info/feature.
Did the “high end FF SLT” get dropped completely, or just delayed?
Huge question with complex answer. Sony put it off roadmap. They have to decide yet what to do.
Does the delay affect the lens announcements as well?
Any info about this new roadmap?
So far we just keep on hearing that it is somewhere, but we’d really love to see it, as it’s content might decide on any future purchases.
I think Sony no need to introduce a FF higher Level then A99 , Jist keep improve it , then everything is fine…
When the A99 is due an upgrade we’ll be on E-mount and you’ll be using an adapter to mount lenses on its replacement. 😀
Can’t, because the lenses aren’t stabilized.
You are assuming that IBIS would not be available on a dSLR sized E-mount body. I wouldn’t make that assumption. 😉
I have trouble understanding how Sony can not have a full frame SLT on their roadmap, if the roadmap actually exists.
Doesn’t look good for the future of A-mount if Sony can’t be bothered releasing full frame native A-mount bodies.
As Maxwell pointed out – RX-series sells like a hot cackes – Sony pushes all the interchangable lenses cameras into the backyard. 😉
You know full well that that is only half true, at best.
Thank you. I guess the cheaper FF models on the market, combined with what they seem to have discovered as a market with greater potential in the FF mirrorless/compact area, caused the decision to put it aside. Perhaps there will be something else eventually, but they really need something else in there (preferably higher end) to go with all the FF SLR lenses.
Admin, I think you should do a poll to see how many people wants a new conventional OVF FF A mount camera.
The poll has already been done in the real World, A850/A900 sales. If the A850/A900 sold like hot cakes, Sony would still be making FF OVF cameras.
ok, I guess sony management is waiting to get the positive market feedback on a99/successor & a78 seris, then to decide go/no-go for high-end alpha FF body.
They maythink if this level body can’t be accepted, how come higher level device to be accepted.
Unless they significantly drop their prices, they are going to be disappointed. Sony are up their own arse thinking they are an aspirational brand, they are not.
Not to you, perhaps. But to me and lots of other togs they are.
You must live in a third-world country then. 😀
The Nex7 is a fantastic camera and I’m sure the Nex7n will be even better.
24 megapixel cameras have been around for quite a while now and no longer have the wow factor.
By the time Sony releases its next full frame camera I am sure other manufacturers will be making 36 megapixel cameras.
Unless I Sony gets the wow back they cannot be sure of good sales.
If Sony were to make the same sensor as this but enlarge it to full frame they would have a 56 megapixel camera.
Because this would be the same Nex7n sensor but bigger, the guality would be assured.
Sony can build in the excellent reputation and sales of this camera and out the wow back.
A few people are not yet ready for 56 megapixels and they probably don’t want anyone else to have it.
Thats a shame, especially if it prevents us from getting one.
Sony if you cant decide than offer two versions of the new full frame camera, one with 56 megapixels.
Bring back the wow. I’ll sure buy one.
It’s not a problem for cameras to have many megapixels. It’s a problem with lenses and image quality. To have very good lenses you have to pay more. To have a good image quality you have to accept small ISO range. It’s Hasselblad and Mamiya target.
The same lenses that work for the a77 will work fo this. The pixel density is the same.
Your right of that this camera wild need really good lenses, but there are a lot of really good lenses avalable and more in the works
Also the ISO range for this camera would be identical to the nex7n.
I am very happy with the iso range and quality of the nex 7 and a77 which the new camera would be identical to.
A medium format camera is not suitable for use in the field especially for wildlife.
There is definitely a market for a high megapixel full frame 35mm camera and there is is no camera available to fill that market.
That sounds like an opportunity to me.
I am confused by your comment.
You complain about the iso range of the nex7 (and which I actually think is quite good continuous ) then you suggest we get a Hasselblad or Mamiya instead?
You say it’s not a problem for cameras to have really high megapixels. It is a problem. The problem is we don’t have any of those cameras a available.
A really high megapixel count is hard to accomplish when trying to provide good image quality. Especially on a sensor of the same size. So just pushing the megapixel count up the air would bring more harm than good to the sensor.
Absolute rubbish.
Scaling the nex7n c size sensor up from 24mp to a 64mp full size sensor provides the exact same pixel density. The exact same pixel size.
All the performance characteristics will be identical including iso and image quality.
Why do some people say this nonsense.
” A few people are not yet ready for 56 megapixels and they probably don’t want anyone else to have it.
Thats a shame especially if it prevents us from getting one. “
I did not talk about from stepping from aps-c to fullframe. I talked about stepping from aps-c 32mp to aps-c 64mp.
No, it isn’t a problem with lenses. The sensor should be slightly better than the best available lens, so that the whole resolution of that lens at its best aperture is recorded.
The other lenses will give lower quality, but they will not be made worse by a better sensor. You are still getting all the lens can give.
I totally agree!
This is a great camera with a great sensor.
Scaling this sensor up to 54mp ff would be a big step forward without having to make major design changes
Sony can jump ahead of the competition.
To not scale up this sensor fo the next full frame would be a huge mistake.
Sony don’t waste the potential of this sensor.
Make a 54mp ff.
BTW the nex 7 is a grezte c camera and I’m sure the nex7n will be another great camera.
That’s not totally correct. Design for edge and conner image quality for high density pixel FF sensor would be a big challenge due to extremely high purple color cast and smear.
Coke I just wrote a lengthy explanation of why this is not true. Please look at my most recent comment on the bottom of the page so i dont have to write it again.
A whole different thing… yesterday it was funny to see this photo-store guys face expression when I said how happy I was about the A77 and it’s EVF and that I can’t ever consider going back… 🙂
Nah…
Sony Cyber-shot RX100 and RX1 is the Sony hot-sellers now.
So Sony is dropping both the NEX and Alpha/A-mount cameras and lenses.
Only Sony Cyber-shot from Sony and the line up is easy to guess
RX100, RX10 and RX1.
Sell your lenses! 🙂
😀 THIS, THIS, 1000 TIMES THIS!
Excellent replay Maxwell.
Love how it sums up Sony’s behaviour in truly outstanding way.
LOL
So …
This new 7 series is coming out last week of August, like every single time sony anounced something important in the last 5-6 years?
Yeah, I thought so, that the April rumour was BS.
It is everytime (77 will be released in spring, 99 will be released in spring, 7n will be released in spring, …).
Just my 2c.
ahhah sony fail
7n must be much ,much better than 7 . More progress in video space , please .
Maybe they haven’t fixed the over heating problem yet?… I hope they don’t pull another little stunt like that again…
” A few people are not yet ready for 56 megapixels and they probably don’t want anyone else to have it.
That’s a shame especially if it prevents us from getting one. “
I’m ALL FOR a 56 megapixel cam! It won’t need an AA filter, and thereby be better than simply an upscaled x77. Equipped with that sensor, I’d drop down the money for zeiss primes!
Totally with you there.
And with 56 megapixels even if we have to crop from verticle to horizantal we still have 26 megapixels.
Sony……..Bring back the wow factor! !!
I’ll buy one too.
Sony you have 3 customers already what are you waiting for?
Several hundred more.
3 people does not make it into a great business case all of a sudden.
I would like to know when someone is going to do any kind of definitive test on the A58 so we can get a look at this purported “new technology” that they put into it. You know, besides JPGs. I want to know if they really made the dynamic range any better. If we could start to see some of these, maybe it would give us a rough idea about what kind of improvement we can expect from the new sensor line, including the new 7n and A78. If the A58 is improved significantly in noise and DR, then the new A78 and 7n should be mind blowing being the more expensive semi-pro flagship models. Right?
Too much waiting Sony! You need to release new models fast and hard. Let Canikon know you’re serious. The colors of summer are approaching fast, you don’t want the other guys new cameras taking all the beautiful pics while your fans are playing around with the same old hardware… (I’m exaggerating, but you get the point)
Yeah, delay a great camera that will make you tons of money to focus on an awesome camera that only a handful will buy. Makes sense.
I’m still wondering if there will really be a NEX FF in the near future. I can see new versions of the RX1 with different F.L. lenses, or even a zoom and a new NEX-7. A NEX FF needs a lot of ivestment return assurance to be justifiable, also several new expensive lenses to support it!
Not in the near future. Late next year is more likely for an FF NEX, if they decide to market one at all.
Possibly there is too much inventory involving the original NEX-7, and bringing to market a updated version would create a lot of dead stock
I really see this as a non-issue. Companies delaying new releases based on “old stock” is ridiculous. A reduction in price will still net a profit, and the new cameras will be available for those that want the latest. A consistent product release schedule will keep your products from becoming stale, and there will ALWAYS be the bargain hunters who are willing to buy the old hardware for a fair reduction. Either way it amounts to profit. If you let your products go too long, that profit begins to stagnate, or even be erased completely, as sales drop month to month while people wait and wait.
Even worse however, is the Osborne effect (Google it), where they tell you about something new on the horizon and don’t release it for months and months. People stop buying the old product in anticipation of the new, and profit becomes non-existent.
Points well taken, and are very true in many cases. However I am getting tired of marginal changes in cameras just to release new product on a timetable based on solely profits. (canon seems especially good at producing many versions of the same camera over time before actually making a major upgrade)
It is interesting though that Leica almost never meets a release or delivery date on time, and still has a year long backorder on some of its products.
Agreed. The releases need to have substance or they bear no weight. I know Sony has plenty of new tech, so their constant delays on new cameras baffles me sometimes. Get in the game Sony…
Damn you Sony for removing the high end camera.
When will we see a SLT and XQD card combo? 2016?
Please let the delay be to remove the AA filter. It could be a reaction to the Nikon D7100. That camera sure is tempting.
even though I love my 5n for being so portable yet offering high image quality, that D7100 is tempting indeed. What I’m hoping for in the next 7 is improved noise results in RAW files. Wishing for the best of both worlds here, but I love the 16mp sensor the other NEX cameras use since I can confidently use ISO 3200 knowing that I can remove a large part of it in post production without degrading the quality of the image. ISO 6400 is even possible though I try to stay away from such high sensitivity. If a 24mp sensor can match the clean results at 3200 as the venerated sensor found in the lower models, that would be a dream come true for me. High levels of detail with the 24mp sensor but a clean ISO performance up to 3200 ISO in a very portable camera kit.
Most serious photographers have more than one camera back.Thats the purpose of a removable lens system. If you like the low light performance of a lower mp camera you can stick an extra body in your pocket and have the best of both worlds. Thats the good yhing about the nex
so… looks like may-june sales are delayed too…iirr there was such rumors about it’s almost in production state
Just sold my NEX7 yesterday in prevision of NEX7n
I am now with plenty of nice lenses (19, 24, 30, 50) without any camera for an unknown time !
glad I still have my A99
For me Sony should concentrate on a major Nex-7 firmware and on high quality e-mount lenses before !!!
Good… No need for a camera that is barely better than the current Nex-7 now anyway… Maybe they will have time to produce what is really needed in the Sony camera lineup… A quality 36MP(Or So) FF Alpha body…
I agree but I would go one step further.
Enlarge the current nex7n sensor to a fulll frame 56 megapixel sensor.
This would have the same great performance as the nex7n because it would be the exact same sensor in a larger size.
put that in the new full frame nex.
Sony would not have to invent anything new just build it bigger.
That’s the camera I want. That’s the wow factor.
There’s a little need in any kind of Alpha. The FF NEX (pure E-mount, not that hybrid crap) — that is really needed.
I definitly WILL BUY a full frame 56 megapixel Sony camera whether it’s a or e mount.
Back in late 2012… well, fantastic! Confirmation of what we all have been guessing: SLT is a dead end. Thanks Sony, all who have bought A99 will be left in the dust. Fortunately I didn’t…
It would be a mistake to kill off native A-mount body.
Like killing off the iISO mount with at the time only one VERY expensive flash available?
Sony do it all the time, don’t assume that Sony wouldn’t kill A-mount over-night and force adapters on us.
…and they killed off OVF too of course. Despite massive protests on-line. 😉
It’s old news that was reported here at the time.
If I was looking at FF I wouldn’t have bought the A99 after hearing that rumour. In fact I am toying with the idea of the 70-400mm, but there is no way I am parting with that amount of cash without some commitment from Sony on the future of A-mount.
My A-mount body and lens purchases are on hold and I suspect others here have the same view. I’ve just recommended somebody get a Nikon due to the doubts I have over A-mount and I am a huge SLT fanboy.
I just got a second hand 70-400… excellent lens, and I plan on using it on my a77 and its successor… whether it’s an A-mount cam or an E-mount cam with adapter (as long as it has IBIS, if it doesn’t have IBIS then Sony can go to a very hot place)…
Look at the February 27, 2013 post on SAR. Here a Sony Product Marketing Manager is cited with: “Sony is now developing full-frame camera families consisting of full-frame Alpha, full-frame handycam and full-frame Cyber-shot families,” Sounds like A-Mount is going to stay.
A factor in favor of upscaling the 24 megapixel sensor from the Nex 7n to a 56 megapixel FF would be that it’s low light capabilities would SLAY those of MF cams. It might not have all the same goodness at low iso, but would very likely catch up at anything even approaching a medium iso (say, as low as 400).
It will have the same iso as the current nex7n.
I get excellent results at iso 800 very good results at 1600 iso and some noticeable noise at 3200 with the a77 now.
Since this will be the latest generation of sensor l am sure the iso performance will be even better.
This is really good performance. Certainly more than adequate for most photographic situations.
With the addition of a high quality fast prime lens ( many of which are a available ) there is very little a camera like this wont do. I might also add that it would do those things with results far better than anything now available.
I agree with you guys. Some people keep imagining something a camera like this wont do ( usually unfounded ) and are oblivious to all the great things it will do.
This fullsize 56 megapixel Nex camera sounds exciting. When can I get one?
I don’t understand why people make up total nonsense like to just to keep high mp camerasmatch away from those of us that really want it.
I will explain this again.
The nex7 has a 24 mp c size sensor.
That is substantially smaller than full frame.
If you take that exact sensor and make it bigger at 54 megapixels and full frame it is still the identical sensor. It still has the same resolution but there is more of it.
The performance does not in any way decrease.
There is no magic mumbo jumbo pixel shift.
There is no decrease in iso performance.
There is no decrease in performance of any kind from the smaller sensor.
The result would be a full frame camera with the exact same quality as the nex9n. There is absolutely no downside. If you crop the picture down to 24mp the everything would be IDENTICAL to the smaller 24 mp camera piture. EVERYTHING!!!
Sounds AWESOME to me! Bring it on Sony! I wanna make pics so sharp they’ll make your retinas bleed!!
Great line “make your retinas bleed”
What is the attraction with a 54MP sensor? Sony has not demonstrated that they can even build such a sensor today. Why would you waste such capability making APS-C sized sensors? It would be more logical to place such a sensor in a professional grade SLT line where people would be willing to pay $4K+ for such a camera.
People who buy NEX cameras (I have 6 and 7) are not willing to pay more than$1500 for a NEX camera body. If you need high MP count today, you can get a D800. The Nikon D4 and the Canon 1DX are each 16 and 18MP. think its safe to say that either one will outclass a NEX-7 or an A99. Sony already has excellent sensor technology, they just have poor algorithms to deal with ISO, exposure compensation, JPEG and noise, etc.
Sony real priorities should be allocated to making better imaging tools and lenses and they should forego high MPs cameras which amount to just bragging points with no real substance. Look at the NEX 6 compared to the NEX 7, the 6 has better ISO performance and less noise.
I wouldn’t be surprised to find the NEX-7 successor to also be 24MP hopefully improved imaging algorithms and processor.
Both myself and the animal guy are talkiing about enlarging the current c sensor at 24 megapixels to full frame version of the exact same sensor
He is saying it would be 54 megapixels and I am saying it would be 56.
We are NOT talking about a higher megapixel c size sensor.
Since this is the exact same sensor but bigger there would be no difference in any quality .
Same iso. Same picture quality.
Heres a simple example… Go to the supermarket and buy a Compact (C) size box of your favorite breakfast cerial and a FULL SIZE box of the same cerial. The cerial is identical. Same nutritional value, same flavor, same calories, same performanc in milk but you get more of it in the bigger box.
We are talking about the exact same pixels on a bigger sensor.
Sony has proven they can make this because they already are making it in the Compact size.
Many of us need and or want a higher megapixel image.
Most of us will discover how good it is to have when it’s available.
A few people are not yet ready for 56 megapixels and they probably don’t want anyone else to have it.
Thats a shame especially if it prevents us from getting one.
Sony needs to make a product that will get noticed.
No one will buy it unless the know it exists.
Give us the wow factor.
Give us one 56 megapixel choice.
You suggest that the high megapixel sensor belongs in a new high end slt camera.
I agree that a 54 mp camera should be high end but prefer mirrorless.
I really hope Sony will give us a 54mp or 56mp camera I version.
Sony may be afraid to commit to a high megapixel camera.
I would suggest at least give us a version of your new ff camerawould in highthe mp like a nex9hmp
I will buy a high mp camera in whatever for they let us have.
from japanese sites… they say that the announcement could be as late as June. The release is pushed because of the soon to be released Hasslebrad Lunar. This is all just rumors :/
Darn dose HasslebRads big party POOPas!
Since there is no FF NEX I guess that isn’t the reason for the ‘delay’. 🙂
The way I look at it, is if they release a FF Nex, its going to be very expensive. Look at the price of the RX1. Surely a FF Nex would be at least a grand more.
I think we will see a 7n soon and then at the end of the year a FF model will be announced, possibly even a fast surprise launch like the RX1. That will give the RX1 time to move off the shelves and for Sony to possibly launch a new monster A mount in preparation for the FF Nex.
Launching the RX1 has no effect on their current range as its not competing with any existing models. A FF Nex would over shadow their entire current range.
I bet there is a lot of working going on over at Sony
A 56 megapixel camera sounds really sexy
I think with 56 megapixels I could make a picture really big.
The thought of 56 million little pixels running around gives me goose bumps.
Nothing gets me hotter than a man with a really big camera.
If I had a 56 megapixel camera to play with my pictures would explode with detail.
And noise…. 😛
Where does the noise magically appear from.
We are talking the same sensor as the nex9n in a bigger size. No extra noise no different iso.
What’s so difficult to do understand?
A silent explosion.
Why dont you the actually read the comments you are responding to!!!
You will then understant why there will be absoluty no loss of quality in any way manor or form
See previous comments!”!
Agree.
Sony Please DO NOT make a 56 megapixel camera.
Unless there is a great improvement in sensor technology.
Personally, I prefer have less pixel, (with larger pixel size)
better Dynamic range, Color Depth and High ISO performance.
I do not need super high ISO, but I want a clean and usable ISO 1600. (with 40dB SNR, 13EV Dynamic Rnage)
More Pixels(on same size sensor) -> Smaller Pixel Size -> More Noise
->Require Heavier Noise Reduction -> Result in Larger File size but got less detail.
A few people are not yet ready for 56 megapixels and they probably don’t want anyone else to have it.
Thats a shame especially if it prevents us from getting one.
You would have yuor iso 1600and 56 megapixels if you could read.
Men who can’t read really turn no off.
Read the actual coonents you are responding to. Thhere is no quality loss and the reasons are explained multiple times.
Sony.
Clearly not everyone agrees on how many megapixels to put in should go in your new ff nex.
I am one of your biggest 56mp fans.
Even I might occasionally want a 24mp super low light version although it is unlikely I will would buy that version.
The smart thing to do is make two versions of the same camera with two different sensors.
I really do want a 56 megapixel version.
Please don’t try let the few people that sre not ready for it stop that from happening.
Sooner or later most of those peaple will become ready for 56 megapixels and buy another camera.
Just as one lens wont do everything well, one camera body will not suit everyone. Thats what an interchangeable lens system is for, so people can have more than one body.
I’m one of your customers trying to tell you what I will buy.
I know your a big company but please hear my little voice.
Please make a 56 megapixel version of your next full frame camera. Thank you.
Do you think the launch will at least be sometime before June? I’m currently using a borrowed old Canon xti and am waiting to buy the 7n, but don’t want to buy the 7 right before it’s upgraded. I love the 7’s design and tri-nav, but it’s getting to be an old camera.
Nex-7 an old camera?
Wow, my Epson R-D1s must be ancient and borderline unusable then..
The NEX-7 is a fine camera but I don’t blame the poster for waiting when the 7n is around the corner. For less megapixels the NEX-6 has less noise.
Just like Z mentioned above, I am in the market for a new camera, really like the NEX-6 and NEX-7, need it for a trip in mid July. Should I wait for 7N? Or go with NEX-6 (with higher ISO). I read the 6 came out after the 7. Will 7n be out by June?
Always the status of the market.
Back in the past :
Nex 5 / Nex 3 > may 2010
Nex C3 > Jun 2011
Nex 5n / Nex 7 > Aug 2011
Nex F3 > May 2012
Nex 5r / Nex 6 > Sep 2012
Nex 3n > Feb 2013
When nex 7n ???
Do you have any information on when the NEX-7N will be launched, other than the launch being “postponed”?
