Any chance for a surprise by Sony that has not been rumored here?
Whoa! this time Andrew was faster! 😉

Interesting… looks from that site’s post that the LCD screen on the LICE-3000 is fixed and not pivoting. And their specs seem to indicate that it, like the NEX-5T, has NFC and WiFi. That seems odd for an entry-level Sony.
Oops, ILCE-3000, not LICE.
LOL… “LICE” would be a great name for capturing how appealing this product is to the average visitor to this site.
I guess I’m not average, as I am considering it versus the NEX-3N at its current $399 sale price. Looking to step up in image quality from an otherwise very good DSC-HX100, but don’t have or want to spend more than $500-$600 tops. Have researched and am a convert to the benefits of APS-C and the E-mount system. If this ILCE-3000, or A3000, or whatever, is under $500 with kit lens, it may win for me… especially if it does indeed have WiFi.
LICE? LMAO You just won the Internet 😀
after that disappointing misinformation about ILC3000 I can no longer see anything exciting with this announcement apart from the QX
Bashing NEX5 like it was the only NEX model, Canon did a way more ridiculous update with 70D’s only saving grace being its new PDAF and nothing more. don’t get me started on the even more ridiculous 700D
Sony’s efforts on NEX have seen way more progress than Canon’s. That guy is going nuts -_-
man, the a3000 back looks so…. minimalistic… a bit like they pretty much just wrapped a NEX in a DSLR shell
personally i don’t like it very much, its just an rehash of a NEX essentially, hoping the higher end models will have superior controls 😀
What happened to all the NEX 7 update rumors? SAR has been silently dropping off that camera when talking about future releases. So was all the rumors you heard mistakenly for the FF NEX or “new” NEX-5? No NEX-7 update this year again? NEX 5 and this DSLR imitation NEX are not exciting. Seems like all the rumors on SAR over the last 3 months have been negated.
1) Sony will wait for significant updates before releasing new cameras.
2) Focusing on high end since low end is the pits.
Seems like the actual releases are completely opposite. Sony is still focused on the low end and releasing with minor updates.
Many of us have been holding off Nex purchases for months waiting for the ex Replacement announcement. Even if there is no information, keeping us current of that would be better than nothing.

according to the spec listed, it looks like there is no PDAF- only 25points CDAF.
the ILC3000 reminded me of discontinued A35 with E-mount instead of A-mount.
A3000, a cheap toy. No articulating screen, tiny EVF, low-resolution 230K live view screen, can not do 1080p/60fps. No stabilization. Drop $300 bucks into the waste paper basket. Pretty much the same effect. Will see what NEX-FF announcement and mirrorless Alpha brings going down the road. Will pass on this piece of plastic.
