I know this is not the kind of news you particularly like but it’s just a proof that you should not expect new NEX and SLT stuff. The images on top do show the three new Sony compact camera that are going to be announced at the CES show on Monday. The W610, W620, W650.
The reason for Sony not announcing any new “serious” camera stuff is the production delay because of the Thai flood. First they have to go back to full production capability. As I already told you now even the NEX-5n is facing some serious stock shortage. From all new cameras the A65 is the only one in Stock at Amazon (Click here) and BHphoto (Click here) and if I am not wrong the NEX-7 is in Stock at Fotomundus.
A bit of free Advertising: Probably the “Only” real new interesting camera announcement is coming form Fuji. neither Canon nor Nikon (a part of the D4) nor Panasonic really have to show somethign new. You can follow the announcement live on Monday at MirrorlessRumors (Click here) at 9pm London time.

Hmmm that’s to bad.
I was hopeing Sony would realise or even show the new NEX lens roadmap for 2012 🙁
I feel like a sitting duck, not knowing wether to stick with NEX or jump ship ( lucky me, Fuijs answer ain’t in the market yet and I can wait)
The new Fuji looks awesome.
+1
The rumor here about a “new” NEX camera with a different lens mount (adapter) makes me nervous and many here have written about a fundamental architecture (design flaw) that could keep the NEX from benefiting from a full frame sensor.
Since we all know that Sony was caught by surprised in consumer interest in the new NEX platform I fear that Sony designers have some tinkering left to make the system live up to its promise and this tinkering could make some of the current components obsolete.
XQD card and new P&S cams in different shades of red. Way to go Sony! 🙂
The flooding cant be forever an excuse for not reacting to market quickly.
The market is intensifying every moment. Come march Fuji Xpro1 is coming, Canon will make its move this year as well.
with 1dx , D4 , D800 … nex7 and a77 are soon looking like stale news.
Perhaps Sony carries with it the burden of its consumer electronics segment too much.
3D television, who’s got one? Who wants one? Not me.
That said I think Sony is ahead in the camera game (A77, NEX-7) and we are just seeing the other guys coming in late now (not early). We are also getting spoiled expecting new revolutionary technology right after we just saw it. I have no doubt the A99 will be a killer worth it’s name and that whatever succeeds the NEX-7 will be equally impressive. I don’t expect it to be marketed just a few months after the current releases though. Let’s have some patience.
The 1DX, D4 and D800 have been stale news for months. You think it’s bad waiting for a new Sony? You should try being a Canikon user, you’ll know the meaning of waiting then!
Anybody know if Sony is going to replace last year’s 3D Handycam, the TD10. Been having some fun lately editing 3D. I’m thinking I might jump in and start playing with it this year for kicks.
The D4 is announced and SAR is posting leaked images of compacts. Bravo.
In reference to the stock links:
When I checked this afternoon, the only venues with SLT-A77 (body only) in stock were the Sony store and J&H. I’ve had an order in with the Sony store for a month and they’re now telling me not to expect my camera until April, so… I’m pretty sure their website is in error. I called J&H on the phone and they assured me that they haven’t had any SLT-A77’s in stock since November and they have no idea when they will get any.
They look like 3-years old Casio compact cameras…
They look nice !! Specially the W650 ! I like it 😉
Cute little thing.. hehehe. I won’t buy it, but many will.
admin,
i think those visit this site is not looking for compact camera. those visited here are pro-photographers looking for SLR level imaging device 😀 lol…
True, but he’s trying to point out that there’s really nothing for us at this event.
NEX lens roadmap please ! Please ! Please ! My wishlist is a 60mm f/2 macro (like the Tamron) and a 16-80 (like the Zeiss a-mount)… come on Sony !
but don’t you just lurv that cherry red!
if nex 7 red = sexy 😀
