I am now 100% sure that Sony has a big E-mount announcement planned for End January. And I have been told by many of my best sources that there will be “serious” new stuff. I am trying to get some info on them now…

Wow! Since I’m in for a system update during 2015, I’ll look at sony with a lot of interest. They offer amazing bodies at great prices (e.g. a7 and a6000).
I’m currently in love with canon 6d (seriously considering it), but a lighter alternative could be even nicer.
seriously thinking this might be the one that truly match a professional full frame DSLR
Lenses lenses.I am a NEX 6 owner.Would not buy another Sony camera no matter how much better they are until we get great lenses.With great lenses you can update cameras.The 35mm marco lens is useless.It should be at least a 60mm.A 300 or 400 zoom woud be nice to compete with the 4/3 system.Sony’s 3 different lens mounts is nuts.Pentax ,Nikon and the 4/3 cameras got the right idea.
Forget it, Sony is not going to spend money developing new lenses for APS-C cameras, at least the sort that you would like. Anyway, you, like me, have the perfect camera to use any lens you’d want. It isn’t imperative to have AF in a macro lens, get yourself a Tamron Macro 90 mm, Nikkor 60 mm Micro and many more for peanuts and you will have a combo that no Sony lens can rival. I only use legacy lenses in my Nex7, from Nikon to Leica and the camera really shines, but not with Sony lenses.
it would have been nice if there is something about this article that is seriously relevant or have some worth.
Sony is pumping out new and new bodies and yes expensive Zeiss labeled lenses The A6000 or Nex6 or Nex7 Are not Pro cameras although very good and most buyers of them do not have money to spend $1000 on every single Zeiss branded e mount lens I think Sony has lost many over to M43 just because of deliberately primerly producing Zeiss lenses over Sony branded lenses. So the saga continues more e mount bodies and no real commitment for a good selection of Sony branded lenses
I just got two Pentax FA Limited lenses (31 and 77); if this makes the A7R or A7S drop their prices I’m totally in the system 😀
As Jón Ingólfur Hermannsson said in his comment, we wait for lenses that people can afford. Fortunately the adapters allow us to use the excellent Minolta glass. If that was not the case, I would have sold my NEX-7 since a long time, cause for me, Zeiss expensive glass is out of question, not good enough for the price it costs and too expensive for what the common user does. So, many people change over to other brands, and I look at the Panasonic GX7 and GM5 too, the latter has proven to do better than NEX-7, despite a smaller picture size. I wait first the A7000 to appear, but being a manual focusing adept, I doubt it will bring me an advantage. It had, if they did it in a smaller pixel count with better high ISO ability. Sony’s policiy to sell bodies at dumping prices and lenses at gold price level really sucks.
