I wonder if you have heard anything about a new Nex6? I’d love to see a new version with the new 20MP sensor, Auto ISO enabled in Manual mode, and perhaps a 90 degree swiveling viewfinder (as on the new Panasonic).
Auto ISO in manual mode should be unlikely. Manual mode is to let u have full control over the exposure triangle.
Bullshit.
A99 has it auto-ISO in M mode.
Lack of auto-ISO in M mode is stupid hinderance with no explantation.
You clearly don’t know why Auto-ISO mode in Manual is useful then.
The RX1 and Canon’s “T” (e.g., T3i) series cameras have auto ISO in M. I understand what M is for, and auto ISO makes M a lot more useful. Why not give users the option?
Understandable why some demand it, but it’s kinda ironic there’s something automated in manual mode, especially exposure related. Maybe we should call it A+S mode instead of M.
And available on Sony France too 🙂
So silly that no where on the Amazon site does it say that the a3000 comes with a lens.
i think most people who are going to buy this super entry camera would not buy it without the lens 😛 otherwise they might mistakenly buy the one without the lens and then complain that they didnt get a lens for their camera
besides its still preorder right now
Hmmm… NEX 3 atau A3000 yaaa…
Hmmm… NEX 3 dpurba A3000 feeez…
Kudos on their fast delivery. All the (non-Sony) brands I routinely buy from are notorious for delays. 🙂

Where is the RX rumor you made the promise for on yesterday?
Disappointed you did not honor your word 🙁
god its only been one day!! calm down and learn some patience!
rome wasn’t built in a day, neither are the RX cameras, unless you want yours to be held together by hot glue
+1
You get this info for free!
Learn to appreciate and stop requesting it like if it was to come faster.
You should also know that Admin is on his day off, although it appears not to be that way…
If you’re not happy with Andreas posting, go start gathering your own info! … Or STFU and be greatful for his exceptional work!
Now when is that FF NEX coming?
Soon.
admin! curious about internet economy. does a site like sar generate any income? is it a little extra money, a considerable amount, or more than you daily job?
Thats a question better asked in a private email because I doubt he will answer to that here.
Real smart.
you could always ask!
How much did you make last year?
Maybe the real question should be: is it worth it? That’s what I want to know.
Well the site is here, so I guess it is.
What happened to the break?
probably one of the scheduled posts he mentioned about
Yeah. I didn’t read that part.
Automation is nice, isnt it?
yeah its great! its like setting up a scheduled text for midnight to wish people happy birthday then going to bed! haha
Haha, speaking from experience? 🙂
indeed 😛 sad to say i’ve pulled that one quite a few times
Admin,
I hope you had a good (and well earned) day off. Heck, take the whole weekend off! Have some fun with your family – children are only young once….
In the meantime, the 16-70 is released on 18th Sep. That’s my birthday! Do I need an aps-C 16-70 though? Maybe not – I would prefer an A-mount FF 24-105/4 or even 24-135/4. I dream on in hope…
“In the meantime, the 16-70 is released on 18th Sep”
i think its a sign… you were BORN to have this lens 😀
Is the menu of the 5T any different from the traditional nex menu?
Don’t forget B and H are closed from September 18 and 10 days ahead….I don’t think they ship anything the 18th.
Ok everyone knows full frame nex in 6 months . But what about nex7 successor . There is no any info . What happen ? Will we see it in this year ?
NEX-5T and A3000 Sept 8
Zeiss 16-70 18th Sept
Sony 18-105 Dec
Sony nex FE in 6 months
Sony nex 7 successor ??????????????????????????????????????
Time will tell 🙂
Ya !
We need some NEX-7 successor rumors , admin , please ~~
This E-mount APS-C flagship product shouldn’t be forget anymore .
sorry ! correct…
“be forgotten”
Yawn sick of boring NEX news A mount is where most of us are NEX is for soccer moms
Solid trolling post. So you should appreciate this A mount news. It’s being phased out.
Says who? E mount is a dead end Sony already have an established SLR mount. ILC’s are a flop outside of the far east they’re in huge decline.
Both are in similar decline but the last figures available (july) show the decline of mirrorless slowing down and being less than the decline in DSLR sales. Meaning mirrorless gained on DSLR’s everywhere but the Americas. And the US account for less than 15% of all ILC sales, similar to the Japan share of the global pie.
Wrong ILC’s showed a bigger decline than DSLR’s by some margin. And they’re not selling well outside Asia, very weak sales in the USA and Europe. There is a niche market for them, but they will never be long term as robust as DSLR sales. More importantly DSLR users buy a heck of a lot more lenses than ILC users (where the profits really are) ILC is basically a dead end for Sony
mmm Canon FF still better!
Open message to Sony.. I am not interested in entry level rubbish. Bring out an RX1 like mirrorless system with FAST (none of this F2.8 crap) interchangeable prime lenses, and I will happily sell up £15K worth of Nikon gear and send it you’re direction.
Also if possible, I would like Olympus style fast contrast detect AF, combined with on sensor phase for continuous focus.
Then if you can add the Olympus 5axis stabilisation that would perfect. (Olympus & Sony sharing tech + R&D)
Yes this is hard to do, but Sony you have shown you can push the envelope (RX1 & RX100), you just haven’t pushed it in products I am interested in (although I did buy RX100).
Imagine shooting a 35/85mm F1.4 lens with 5 axis stabilisation. NOTHING Canon, Nikon or Leica etc. etc. have could match that, this would offer a major competitive advantage to pro’s.
THAT would be a compelling reason for pro’s to switch camps on mass and gain major market share. Discounting products does not work with pro’s, they buy quality not 3rd rate gear just because it’s cheaper.
Hi Rhys, IS of any type is rather over hyped as while no doubt useful in a small sub-sector of most peoples photography namely low light static subjects. Beyond this its value decreases hugely look at your 35mm F1.4 wish shooting at the normal focal length equivalent shutter speed a 1/35th will be successful for most folk. For IS to be useful lets say a 2 stop gain you now are shooting at 1/8th which at F1.4 narrows ones shooting subjects hugely in fact I would like to see any shots taken on FF at 1/8th at F1.4
For hand held video it may be useful but again if you want really good looking footage I am pretty sure that tripod mounted manual focus is the way to go.
I shoot at 1/160 with my 35 & 1/250 with my 85. Sure if I was to concentrate, steady my hands, control my breathing.. I can shoot my 35 at 1/15. But I would rather not to that, instead I want to be able to capture moments while concentrating on composition, instead not focusing on how steady I can hold the camera.
With 5-axis stabilisation I can shoot 1/60 or 1/30 without having to worry about shaky hands, this would make a big difference to me.
Also their are the times when you want to shoot lower than 1/15 to blur movement and show something/someone not moving and sharp. Right now I have to carry a stabilised lens just to do that.
I haven’t got any samples at 1/8, but below is 1/15 at F1.4 85mm on FF body. Unfortunately I had to using a tripod so my composition options was limited as I couldn’t move around freely.

I bet it’s the same for video, surely vogs would love to be able to ditch the tripods, or at least be able to have one camera on a tripod and then get creative with some quality handheld footage.
IS & VR are not good enough imo for this, sure the stabilisation works much better than stabilised, but it’s not as good as Olympus’s tech.

Just a heads up. If you want a NEX-5t or A3000 go to a Sony store. They already have it in stock since last week but can’t sell them until Sunday!@
I saw the A3000 in my hands and it’s very nice…
As another poster asked – is there any difference in the menu system between the 5T and the 5R?
Does the 5T have the ‘Quick Navi’ Screen?
Thanks
A3000 and 5t are also at most photo specialty stores. We have them in Colorado and I know Austin, TX has them as well. So. Early shipments? From Sony? Whose name for years was the acronym for Send Order Next Year *or* Soon, Only Not Yet?? Amazing.
some A-mount folks here are sounding really insecure
Can you blame them? Zeiss glass for E mount, when few will actually buy it. Sony are in for a rude awakening if they think E mount is the future
E-mount is clearly Sony’s future. Because with E-mount you can do both large and small cameras with both large and small sensors. A-mount does not allow small cameras. So Sony heavily invests in E-mount lenses because they want to have a single mount for all customer types and all camera types. A-mount is dead, sell your stuff while you can 🙂
Yeah panic and sell it to me at bargain basement prices. I’ll continue to shoot with it for years to come as you lot chase the latest shiny E-mount body every other month.
No need to worry most E mount bodies are toys we know most A Mount users would simply move to Canikon who will gladly take their money. Sony are trying to sell a product to enthusiasts which isn’t interesting. A3000 is a running joke, a comical release from a company that still does not understand the photographic market very well.
i wish they made the ring grips of the za lenses just like the ze lenses. the rubber from the za lenses get pretty dirty and can feel sticky.
Tried to order the 1670 from Sony Store Europe.
Several complaints about the format of my phone numbers: Rather substandard webserver software. Then, I finally got to the payment section, selected paypal and the next thing I got was: There was an error with your request. Use number 1234567 and contact our support using phone number whatever.
Needless to say, nobody there today.
End of the story: I didn’t write the number down nor received that number by Email either so I would have to re-order all over again – which i won’t as long as the Sony Store Server software seriously sucks that much.
By the way, I even was logged in with my Sony account and the software was unable to use my address data from my account. How bad can you get?
Situations like this that there is more to Amazon than simply the service.
