While I got very reliable info about the NEX-5t, NEX-FF and the ILC-300 E-mount cameras I still have no reliable info about the NEX-7 successor.But it’s interesting to see that most European Sony Stores now don’t have the NEX-7 in Stock anymore. For example: Sony Germany, Sony France, Sony Italy. latest info I got was that the new successor would be available in October.
One more thing: To be honest I got specs from an anonymous source but if you want me to post them know that they are SR2 only. You want the info?
P.S.: Thanks Seb!

Not in stock, but all sites state that new stock is coming, so this could be just a temporary storage as well.
Sure, excited to see some specs even if they’re SR2!
I don’t see any point in posting SR2 rumours.
I can do my own guessing.
do it!
it’s a rumor site expect S1-SR5!
I want to spec too 🙂 even it is SR2..but if You reveal it and it would be false, I bet that other sources would like to correct it 🙂
I’d be curious to hear even it’s just SR2 at this point. Bring them on !
The A700 and A900 where both out of stock long before the A77 and A99 got released.
Afaik the A900 was already out of stock in 2009 so i wouldnt say that out of stock of the NEX-7 means a fast replacement.
But its a good chance anyway 😉
Why have a SR2 (and SR1) status if you don’t want to use them? Either post rumors with those statuses or drop them I would say.
To clarify: I meant drop the unused statuses.
Yup, makes a lot of sense ! We know the reliability factor of SR2 we’ll read the rumor accordingly 😉
It’s a rumor site, why would you not post another rumor, in this case the potential specs.
Dear Admin,
Please bring on the SR2 rumors 🙂
We are adult readers. You can trust us to form our own opinion on single anonymous rumors, provided we know what it is. We do appreciate you harassing your trusted sources for confirmation or dis-confirmation, though. If you publish rumors unfiltered, though, not only does your work become more visible, you get more clicks as well 🙂
rumors are rumors. bring it on! we want SR2
You know what? First a NEX-FF SR4 rumors 🙂
Bring the FF NEX rumour ONNNN!!! 🙂
POST IT NAO!
Bring on the SR2 Rumors…NEX-7 yeah…!;-) Can’t afford the NEX-FF them Rumors only make me weep…!;-/
Finally something about the NEX-7 … Even if it’s SR1 or SR2, I’d be glad for every piece of rumor you could give us.
It seems people want the SR2 rumours but I think if its a new source you shouldn’t. People seem to take what is written in a rumour as a fact. Just look at the confusion of the rumour about the CEO saying only major improvements will be released.
I tend to agree with you Slingers.
Funny, you’re asking for our opinion but seems you’ll go against it anyway, lol…
against what? I cannot express my opinion?
You should simplify your criteria: Reliable: SR1, probably unreliable/unknown source: SR3, Fake: SR5
These criteria you use permanently, but you keep explaining it all the time, so why not spare some time?
Besser so.
No,( of course not, but I thought it was funny that you asked readers if they wanted it the SR2 rumor), got an overwhelming majority of yes, then stated that you thought it might be better that you didn’t post it. Is all. You’re in the best place to decide what you should post of not though, and we really enjoy and appreciate all your hard work. Well I do anyway.
Claire, I do not understand your logic. How does it seem he will go against it? As far as I can see, he only states that he agrees with Slingers, not that this will be what he is doing!
Because he or she wrote: “but I think if its a new source you shouldn’t”.
Better skip these SR-2 rumors if they refer to something important. Sadly, some people have problems realizing that your posts are not official Sony announcements. I expect the usual outcry: ‘WHY IT HAVE NO [feature x]???? IM GONNA SWITCH TO AND SELL MY SONY STUFF!!!!11’
bring on the NEX FF rumours instead 😀
Please, post the specs!!!
Well what is a eumorside when it does not publish rumors? Yes people may read your side as a fact side and think what you write is real, but is that not their problem? As long as you bring it as sr1 or sr2 you do what your site supossed to do, lately I miss real rumors and find only facts here.
Maybe you can wait publishing every rumor untill after the official launch and then you are 100% sure…,
Please do what most readers here expect and want you to do:publish rumors.
When a sr1 or sr2 rumor is wrong you can tell everyone what sr1 and sr2 means. When it is right you xan tell everyone that they read it first onSAR
It is easy to predict the specs:
* 24 MP sensor (for sure not 32)
* About 1/2 stop better ISO
* On-sensor phase AF
* New hot shoe
* WiFi + apps
* Maybe more hi-res view finder
In my opinion the only really important question is it same old AF system as on NEX-6 or is it improved next-gen one which will be used in future A-mount cameras. If it is the new AF system designed to focus fast with heavy and low A-mount lens, it should make E-mount fastest AF system in the world !!!
Indeed, the very big question is this. Same PDAF as the 6 (not any better than on any other NEX in my experience, I know some people disagree, which is fine) or *really¨new and improve AF performance. That’s pretty much what will make or break the next NEX gen…
It’s okay admin, post when you feel right.
Yes I want them
bring it on! it’s a rumours site anyway!
in my opinion, too much info, even bogus info is better than no info at all so long as adult readers keep in mind that it’s not reliable….
Asking on a rumour site if people want rumour is like… 😛
As others indicate it is not headline features we are looking for in the NEX-7 mk2. I tnm the more subtle detail we look for is not likely to be in the rumor. Some example of those subtle details – is AF point selection improved, are there user presets like a900 or RX1, is AF faster, are there small size AF points, can less AF points be used e.g. 9 instead of 40, is there more control over auto ISO e.g. Minimum shutter speed, us there fully electronic shutter, any chance of body integral SSS, menu system ala RX1 etc.
Amen.
If you already have reliable info about nex5t as you mentioned, can we at least see that, pretty please 🙂 and thank you
“To be honest I got specs from an anonymous source but if you want me to post them know that they are SR2 only. You want the info?”
So, where is the info now that you’ve got your answers?

Yes Andrea, in advance thank you very much 😉
