To pricey, but I’m liking the back side of this thing. Looks very sleek and lovin that screen.
Hi
You can buy the NEX-6 body here for $499.99 CDN. I figure its probably a better deal.

Agree 100%.
Admin – are there any rumours of a proper ring flash to fit the new MIS hotshoe? Or maybe even a f61 to replace the f60 but without te overheating issue?
If you want a ring flash for macro I can highly recommend the Metz 15 MS-1. If using an APS-C it works with the pop-up flash, on Full Frame you’ll obviously need a small flash like the HVL-F20M to fire it as it uses wireless. Being wireless means that you don’t have to have it mounted on the camera either.
A good thing is that it gets firmware updates for new cameras and is switchable between Sony, Canon, Nikon and Pentax.
I think everyone that use sony flash wants that question answered. If I were you I would not hold my breath on then fixing the overheating issue any time soon if ever. That problem has been around since the 58 and is a problem with the 43. It is just that the problem is worse with the 60. We just need to keep complaining until someone listens. There is a camera place that will fix the 60 for about 100.00.
Availability mid April ?!?
I was shocked by this too. I dearly hope the other new cameras won‘t take that long from announcement to market.
Must have been a last minute decision then… previous models have been in the shops pretty soon after announcement
Perhaps they had several different options for the A5000 and made the final decision on the basis of sales performance for A3000, A7/r, NEX-5T etc
Sony are ‘winging it’…
Ist euch schon aufgefallen, dass ein Klick auf die NEX 5t auf der Website von Sony Deutschland ( http://www.sony.de/hub/nex-kompakte-systemkamera) Zur ILCE 7er Serie führt?
Vielleicht ist das ja ein Hinweis auf eine baldige Umstellung im Portfolio…
Will Sony ever stop with these ridiculous naming conventions?
ILCE-5000. Yes. Because that name is WAY better and “friendlier” than NEX3 or 5, or whatever ONE digit number.
Kudos on Sony for that one.
what’s next? The Sony Andrea 3000 special edition? Weird naming scheme’s…..
Does the ILCE-5000 record in 4:2:0 or 4:2:2 ??
ohh… what? Have they removed the very convenient place where I used to put my 4th or 5th on the 5 line? Aaah, that’s successor of the 3? AAAh, Sony wishes to obfuscate its naming scheme….. 🙁
No 60p 1080 video? Sorry Sony, no thanks…
