I noticed that many people missed some of our recent Sony rumors. Those rumors have been exclusively posted on SonyAlphaRumors during the last 30 days:
– All future Zeiss lenses will be fullframe (3-4 new Zeiss lenses within 18 months!)
– Sony A77 coming mid 2011 and with a completely new 24 Megapixel sensor!
– Is that the new Sony Alpha 77 design???
– 2011 is the year for Sony professionists!
– Sony A77 with two semi-transparent mirrors?
A reminder for all our readers:
1) I do not invent any rumor. So don’t blame on me if sometimes I have no rumors to post. I preferr to not post anything than post fake rumors. And if it is possible I try to double check the rumors I do receive. As you can imagine not everyone is sending me correct info.
2) I am doing the work on that website all alone. There are days I do not post anything because I am busy at work or with my family.
3) As written inside the “About us” presentation we talk about Sony digital camera news, rumors and reviews. This includes the DSLR, SLT and NEX cameras (NEX cameras do have the Alpha logo and do work with Alpha mount lenses via adapter).
4) We try to understand the future development of Sony products and technologies. That’s why sometimes we pickup news from different product categories like camcorders, cellular-phone or even competition. We believe some of those news could influence the Sony product development strategy.
Thanks for your understanding!

You are doing a great job. Thank you for your work, despite your other commitments. Please don’t take some of the negative comments that some people are making as indicative of how most of your web-site visitors think. It is unfortunate that some individuals are both very opinionated, and also narrow-minded in their outlook. Additionally there is no reason why, even a website mostly focussed on one area, can not include interesting news from other areas. Keep up the good work!
agree 100%
🙂
Damn right — tangential Sony Alpha news and rumors is quite welcome. 🙂
I check this website daily and am very appreciative of your efforts. I too have a family…good for you for trying to achieve balance.
Thumbs up!
It’s strange that there are no rumors about the NEX-7. It was supposed to arrive between September and November to compete with the GH2. But everything has been so quiet… My big question for the NEX-7 would be if it will have SteadyShot inside. This is fundamental for using the upcoming prime lenses or other prime lenses via adapters (I already assume it will have better ergonomics/external controls and integrated EVF).
Yeah, I’m wondering the same thing. Would love to see the NEX-7 w/ a built-in EVF, SteadyShot, and hotshoe in about the size of a GF1 or upcoming Fuji X100.
I don’t want it as large as the GH series, as that’ll be too close in size to the SLT cameras imo.
Where are the solid rumors? 🙂
That’s probably why the nex7 is being delayed so far. right now it would be pointless since putting all that stuff into the camera would just bulk it up to the size of a normal slr.
If they simply update the firmware of the nex5 to shoot 24p and have manual controls for video, I think that should hold current users over for a long time.
Sony has already stated than putting the steadshot in the nex cameras would be counter productive.
I think this is one of the best rumor site. Support you as always! Keep up the great job! A big THANKS to you for keeping this site going!
THUMBS UP!
This is a great site. Thank you, for all the news, rumors and titbits 😉
Keep up de good job.
This site is a meeting place for Sony photofans from all over the world. We need it. Difficult to imagine only one person running such an important forum (and this besides other responsibilities). As the forum is growing, sooner or later more staff will be required. And meanwhile thank you very much.
I have google alerts on for “Sony NEX-7” and the most recent update has been Luis’ post just above^^. I hope it doesn’t get pushed back (or worse not made) because of the sales of the NEX-3/5.
No! High sales of NEX-3/5 should encourage NEX-7! Otherwise I’ll be sad!
