Not that I’m doubting it, but where does it say that it’s for today only? In the last few months it went from $749 to 598 10 days ago to now $498.
Was going to wait for an a7000 announcement and was about to order the a6000 to hold me over, but the NEX-7 at $498 is intriguing as a hold over. If/when the a7000 comes out I’m sure I can sell the 7 for $300 or so with the lens or at worst I can send it in for IR conversion or keep as a backup body.
If the a7000 (or whatever it’s called) comes, I wonder what the price will be. If greater than $1000, then the very old NEX7 at $500 is still quite viable today. I am tempted.
Should the A7000 ever come to market (rumors have been going on forever-LOL) I hope it has the same body as the NEX7 so it’ll fit into my Nauticam underwater housing. I keep looking for a low priced NEX7 back-up body, so this sale is tempting, as it’s close to what they are selling for used on eBay. My NEX7 is working great though, so no hurry. I imagine they will only get cheaper, whether a new A7000 is released or not. Too much invested in my APS-C system using the Sony 18-55, Zeiss 12mm, and Canon 60 EF-s macro to change systems.
Well it’s hard to know but there may never be a full NEX7 successor. It seems they’ve sort of split it into a6000 and a7. But the a6000 is close enough to be the replacement except for a few minor differences?
i think the a6000 is a better functioning camera. i have both and the nex7 is sitting collecting dust. also no applications can be run on the 7. and by applications, i mean timelapse, unless you buy an external intervalometer..which is a pita. its just a more modern camera and i believe functions better all the way around.
a3000 with lens is $199 at Target.
Can you use Sony XYST1M external mic on this? It seems like a different hot shoe on nex7 yet I see some videos on YT with this…
Wow! That’s exactly what I thought might exist, thanks. It might even be a tiny advantage for a microphone since it puts it another inch away from the camera.
You can always use another hot shoe adapter to add an extra inch with a camera that has the newer hotshoe. Something like this.

Why would you suggest a canon adapter when someone above suggested the correct Sony adapter?
Apologies. I misread his requirement. I had thought he wanted to add an extra inch to the hot shoe.
You need this to be able to use it on the NEX-7. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/913655-REG/sony_adpama_shoe_adapter.html
(I replied to my own comment somehow and this system is broken because it won’t delete it)
Admin, how about a poll to see if people support the uncompressed RAW move for all current top of the line cams including RX100/1/2/3, RX1/R, RX10, A7/r/s, a6000, NEX 7, and a77/ii and a99?
Well as was suggested, the sale continues beyond yesterday. But I guess I’m not as interested after reading more about the a6000. It’s only a bit more money but has a better sensor, AF, etc.–things change after 4 years! Whereas NEX7 advantages are control dials (debatable), construction, mic input. Let me know if I’m missing something. External mic is important to me but I already have the good XYST1M which uses the hotshoe, so it’s not a big issue.
Does anyone know if the heating shut down when you do video was ever fix on the Nex-7?
