Sony is back to full camera and lens production and as you can see from the screenshot here on top both the NEX-7 kits and the 50mm lens are being shipped by Adorama. Sonystore says they will ship the 50mm lens on March 26th. And the Zeiss 24mm for NEX is in Stock at Amazon (Click here).
That’s all good news because Sony had to delay some of the product announcements to focus on the current camera and lens production. More in detail the A99 for example was originally scheduled for Spring release but will now arrive in September.
P.S.: The NEX-7 still remains the hottest mirrorless camera of the moment being on top of all Amazon US (Click here), Amazon UK (Click here), Amazon Deutschland (Click here) and Amazon France (Click here) mirrorless rankings.

thank god.
Im hoping b&h too, altough i pre ordered mine just a few days ago, i wonder how many are in line
Black 50mm also ??
FINALLY got my Nex-7 from ritz camera via amazon. I was one of lucky few that saw it in stock and pulled the trigger. Since I preordered last November, I have had orders in at Adorama, B & H, Sony.com, and Amazon. I got the run around and zero info from everyone but Amazon. Now, this battery just has to charge before I can play with the thing.FYI, I got the Nex-7 with kit lens, which I’ll be selling shortly on ebay.
My 7 kit shipped from ABT today, now for BH to get my sel50 shipped…
A99???
/sarcasm
Does that mean we will be getting some news on the a99?
A99 News Flash!
A99 announcement at end of 2012…
There happy?
Always happy, but I was hoping admin could provide a little more info than we already know. And I beleive Andrea is good at tracking down such rumors instead of just the scheduled announcemnt that we knew about months ago. If that isthe best we can do there would not be much need for a rumor site. But thanks for your insight and you have a wonderful weekend if you so desire.
Your most welcome!
Glad I could have been of service. You have a lovely weekend too.

these guys had it in stock, but it’s gone now… sorry
it was a mistake. Probably listed wrong
Zeiss 24mm in stock at Amazon from Ritz with 6 left priced above 1036$, and 2 used for 1249$ & 1599$. The roller coaster continues on the way to April.
Maybe Sony will finally get it that NEX is their future cashcow and not SLT. Sony forget about the A99. The Nikon D800 and Canon 5D3 will significantly outsell it regardless of how good it is. Build a FF 35mm NEX camera system with a hybrid Phase detect/Contrast detect autofocus and you will have a worldbeater.
not gonna happen 😀 but maybe nex FF will come in a few years later 🙂
NEX maybe the future but it is not yet there. NEX7 is the bestselling now of all morrorless but it is a whooping 43 on all digital cameras. D800 is on nuymber one and there are a number of DSLRs in between before we reach to NEX7. I think this is why the big two are not rushing to upgrade/introduce their mirrorless offerings. The we have to wait for D400, D7100, Canon 7DII and others. Surely, this is going to be a busy year for cameras and surely an interesting one
It’s funny how all these other camera stores have it in stock, but not the Sony store in NYC. Heck, they don’t even have a display model out.
I’m looking forward to know more about the new NEX 😀
I am still waitning for my Sony 50 mm NEX from B&H 🙁

α57 from Sony: Official Video Release
this confirms that the a57 has full manual video controls as well!
wow olympus epl 1 still sells well!
A99 out in september, just that Sony didn’t specify the year… September 3012 or 3112, maybe some months later…
I don’t know about full or not full lens production, but SEL-50F18 still in “preoder” and not “in stock” status in B&H and also on Sony USA next shippment will be at 26/03(not “in stock” status). On eBay there is no such item at recomended price. All the prices >400$. How much time it must take to start the normal lens productin that must be available during february? I am not speaking about delay from december 2011.
And who told that item in stock in Adorama?
Here it is: “This is a new item and not in stock yet. Currently we do not have a scheduled delivery date from the manufacturer…”
Whatever it is… nothing can beat A900!
On Amazon US,
Lot’s of Sony on the top of the chart, and no discounting ’til #7 on the chart.
I’m still surprised that the Nikon 1 barely make it to the top-15.
Thank you for your inquiry on the status of your backorder.
Unfortunately, the manufacturer is not providing us with an ETA of when to expect this item, in turn, we cannot provide our customer’s with an ETA.
Thanks Sony. Your engineers and marketing people are spectacular! However, Your executives are idiots.
Cheers,
Bill
