The Tri Navi and rangefinder styled NEX-7 could finally get a successor! According to SonyAlphaRumors.com the new A7000 could be announced early 2015. It will have:
– New 24MP sensor
– 1/8000 shutter
– 4K video
– weather sealed body
And it will come along a new weather sealed 16-70mm f/4.0 Zeiss lens.
Let’s hope that rumor turns out to be true!

“Rangefinder style.” So it looks like the 3A Kodak Autographic Special, the first ever commercially produced rangefinder camera just about 100 years ago? Cool. Is this Sony’s rangefinder coupled?
The A6000 I own has this form factor. It’s actually quite nice. It keeps your nose off the LCD.
only if you are right eye dominant :p
This is something I’ve been conserned about. Being left eyed using a rangefinder style. I’ve yet to try one.
Wow, great news. The perfect shape for a mirrorless camera, with a gorgeous sensor.
Hurry up and buy a Sony and give us all a rest! 😉
nothing spectacular. Sony has lots of cameras, but no fast lenses, macro or tele. so what is the point to buy sony?
It’s actually more difficult to find glass that you CAN’T use with Sony E-Mount. It basically adapts to anything. I have a Canon F1.4 50mm Prime that I use a lot with mine. Is that fast enough for ya’? 🙂
Really, Leon, Sony has a 16mm, 20mm, 35mm, 50mm for crop e-mount, then 35mm and 55mm zeiss full frame. They do not have a fast zoom for both systems… here’s why. Most people buying these cameras do not have enough experience controlling depth of field. So if you have enough ISO to balance a not so fast zoom, why would most people taking picture of people, flowers and landscape need F2.8 throughout.
I think it’s more related with keeping the weight and size down than with the DoF control.
You don’t have to be right eye dominate! I’m left-eyed and used my Leica for years…made a career of using my Leica. You don’t have to be right eye dominate to use a rangefinder…but you do put your nose on the screen, so you’ll clean it more ofter.
