Lensrentals (Click here) undressed the [shoplink 3000]Sony NEX-3[/shoplink] to see how it looks inside: “I’m generally not a Sony fan, but it’s amazing how much Sony has simplified the design of this camera – not just compared to SLRs, but even to other mirrorless cameras. And props to them for doing a lot of little things that cost money but probably make the camera better and more reliable: heavy electronic shielding, gluing down the flex clamps, using copper shields instead of aluminum, etc.”
It’s good to know that Sony is using top engineering to build their own cameras! Thanks Lensrentals for that nice article!

I still want to know what the “big surprise” that was mentioned a while ago is???!!!
Please stick it up on here with an SR1 or something. If anyone derides you if it doesn’t come true because they don’t understand the meaning of the word ‘rumour’, I will personally hunt them down, poke their eyes out with a stick & replace their brain with that of a squirrel for higher intelligence.

NEX F3 no news about that ? Or a NEX with fixed lens ?
That makes as much sense as an A-mount Alpha with a fixed lens.
Something like a digital TC-1 might have some appeal.
Of course but Sony wouldn’t call it a “NEX”.
Well, Sony calls the NEX an Alpha, so you never know. Most likely such a camera would be the Cyber-shot flagship model.
They will call it FIX 3/5/7
Good news.

How about some a99 news.
Why is there a constant stream of piss posts wanting information on the A99 in topics about NEX news, and then posts wanting information on a “NEX7N” in A99 posts?
Seriously, anyone in the game for either camera should be out shooting whilst waiting patiently for the official release.
Awesome, I’ve always been tempted to take apart my NEX 😛
Surely this is yet another full disassembly to solder hack a WIRED REMOTE into a NEX Body… Why else would someone take it apart?
Sky Divers are modifying NEX with Wired Remote… Cause Sony don’t provide…

More NEX-5 hacks for Wired Remote… I mean, if you’re in there already, why not?

To all the technical people, please, look into the Smart Accessory Terminal on top, and see if it can be hacked.
It would be great if one could figure out a way to attach a hotshoe terminal, wireless flash triggers and external stereo microphone-in jack for the NEX 3, 5, C3 and 5N this way. It’s already a huge user base, and as Sony never came out with these products, any 3rd party release would be a sure hit.
A guy in a German forum made two small aluminium adapters for the Camera and the IR-Release and connected them via a Toslink cable. Pretty slick solution I’d say.

Why does every tester on non-Sony sites have to repeat the mantra: “I’m generally not a Sony fan, but …”?
If they get their hands on an Olympus or a Pentax, they don’t feel an urge to make excuses, so why is it that they have this fear of saying something nice about Sony without first saying that their general feelings toward Sony are of a negative nature?
Every idiot could take pictures with exeptional CaNikon cameras. Instead, I’m glad that I could do it with rubbish Sony… without A99, lenses etc.
