XD first one~woohoo~*
On this NEX5n and NEX7 being practically equal in resolution thing;
I think all these “I gotta have 36mp camera” people are going to be super happy when they see the frame sizes that a 36mp camera will produce. But they are going to be super pissed when they zoom in and see that it really has only slightly more “real” resolution than the current 16 and 24mp cameras.
Every real world test between Sony’s 16 and 24mp sensors confirms that the images are practically the same resolution in the end.
Shrinking the photosites on these sensors is just no longer worth the trade off anymore unless you have extremely expensive glass in front of it.
And because of the imbalance of red vs green vs blue photosites (Bayer layout) and nyquist sampling frequency, these sensors only resolve less than HALF the resolution lines their resolution marketing numbers have on the camera.
I really hope this march to higher and higher megapixels slows down and Sony starts focusing on better ISO performance.
The higher we go with megapixels we go, the less and less usefull they all become.
Quality glass is going to be more and more important as the MP increase.
Yes, and once you have that quality glass, you also need super-accurate AF as the resolution of the sensor increases.
I liked Steve Huff’s review of the a57
It’s to bad Sony didn’t make a a75 with the build, controls and features of the a77 but with the sensor of the a57.
sonyalpharumors.com may need to be renamed SonyReviewAndAmazonEbayLinks.com
Would love to give you a rumor every 8 hours but it’s not possible. And if you care about rumors only just bookmark that: http://www.sonyalpharumors.com/category/rumors/
Voilà you have rumors only!
I think we’re just kidding – nothing serious.
Dan 😉
Yeah, just kidding admin.
Hey SONY insiders that are reading this. Give us (and admin) a break and please send in some solid rumors about new full frame SONY cameras and lenses. Come on…
We’re waiting…..

I don’t opinion on the reviews Andrea publishes here, but the Russian one is worth the visit because of the beautiful model featured there.
I couldn’t agree with you more. Despite those stone-cold foxes, the review itself is a good read.
Haha, love the photog’s expression in that last photo!
Andrea, the BH Photo link is broken for the RX100! I’ll wait until you fix it and order the RX100
Is Sony on full
Power now?
I expected better from the kids at Wired. Normally they’re up on their gear and give at least a favorably even keeled review but their lack of knowledge concerning Sony’s fullfeame stance is disconcerting.
These IR pictures look pretty awesome – really worth to watch the flickr gallery and very tempting to buy a new NEX to do IR photography & video with the older one…
