For the first time the NEX-7 with Black 18-55mm kit lens in Stock via Ritz at Amazon (Click here!!!). Hurry! Don’t miss the chance! And at the moment of writing also five NEX-7 bodies(!) are in Stock again via Ritz at Amazon (Click here!!!).
Took seven months to see the NEX-7 in Stock at Amazon (I am not counting some third party cheater reseller which sold few largely overpriced cameras).

I love the way the 24/1.8 E-Sonnar and the E 50/1.8 pictures are shown without the humongous hoods they come with! LOL!
I have the Zeiss 24mm and the hood is hardly “humongous”. However, the hood for the 50mm is another story.
Got my Black Body, only NEX-7 from B&H a week ago. 15 minutes later they were out of stock again!
ADMIN: Anyone has the Sigma 30 DN for NEX in the EU? Thanks! I only see the m4/3rds version (189 Euros).
Fotomundus Germany!
So glad that they are finally being stocked again…I’m purchasing my second NEX7 asap!
@ ADMIN Couple news post back, when you were talking about the CZ 24mm, you said something about a Nex-7 + CZ 24mmm kit. Does that mean Sony will be releasing a Nex-7 kit with a CZ 24mm lense? If so, any news on pricing?
Right now Sony has a big problem with the production of the Zeiss. So there will be no kit version for a long time. Porbably in 2-3 months such a kit will be sold.
Steve Huff wrote at his review he asked Sony about a kit with the Zeiss lens and they said it won’t gonna happen. So don’t wait for it – it may never come.
fotoboom sell it for €1700
Available on Amazon, but sold by Ritz Camera.
I got my Nex 7 today in Italy via a local dealer in the town from Sony Italia. It seems that Sony received just about a dozen of Nex 7 in Italy.
Hi
Just find the NEX-7 kit localy here in dallas at camera stop
That had a couple
I used it in a studio shoot with both the kit lens and the 18-200 lens
I have to say i am shocked , i wipes the road with my canon 7d i have the 35-105 l lens i usind and the sony is way sharper when i take the same shot same settings
I will still continue a grow my canon and same time i been looking at the LA-EA2 mount
I seen some interesting reviews
1 the focus speed was significant faster (5n)
And accuracy
To me thats shocking since the nex-7 the set i have has no problem loking or focusing fast
Whats your all opinion on this
I like a good debate before i bite the bullet on the adapter
I shhot lots of studio and also for promotors at big body building events around the state
I also have about 15-20 years close to pro experiance and i am not into canon more over sony or the l lenses ove sigma lenses and so on
My next lens is probably going to be sigma”s 50-150/2.8 and later sigma 120-300/2.8
But please let me know your alls view of the la-ea2 adapter
Thanks

hmmmm the stock is still really low… i’ve been wanting to play with a nex 7 in store before i decide to buy one but it never showed up in my local sony store 🙁
I tried one in a local Sony store (Vancouver), and it is one amazing camera that you need to hold to fully appreciate.
If only it had IBIS, it would have been perfect! Sony, you have it on the Alpha DSLRs, why not on the NEX!? Now, the lenses have to be bigger/pricier to have IS. Oh well…
Now, just need to wait for some lenses. At least, it gives me time to save up.
Ironically, I am now happy to have been forced to wait six months for my 7 (not) to arrive.
Between the corner issues, loss of touch screen focus point selection, 50% more data requiring more resources, and crap selection of slow lenses requiring higher ISO Ive become much happier with my 5N. The savings will buy me an EVF and the nice 50mm!
Certainly I’ll miss the controls but perhaps the 8 or 9 etc will get it all right.
Currently there are two cameras at the top of the NEX heap, each best for different applications. Ill take the one I have and a sweet lens thank you!

I was ready to get a NEX-7 too. Then I had an unexpected business trip to the US, and the NEX7 was never in stock while I was there. I finally came back home with a Fujifilm x100 – totally different beast, I know, but i’m just loving it. Beautiful colours, great ergonomics, classic handling (you may like that or not). If anything, in the future i foresee more Fuji than Sony gear in my bag for the future! Anyone else?
yeah, i am debating between the nex-7 vs x pro1.
i think fuji got it right in terms of a camera to capture still photos. they may only have 3 primes but those are excellent focal lengths (sony only has the 24mm zeiss)
the sony nex 7 is an all-round camera with great video capability, build quality and a selection of zoom lenses which are great for travel and general usage. not to mention, a lower price if you forgo the 24mm zeiss
both are excellent cameras, but for someone like me who is looking to shoot still photos, i think the x pro 1 has the edge!
