A chinese Xitek forum user spotted what he says is the new Sony NEX-5N while Sony was shooting a new commercial. Nothing really spectacular here. Can’t wait to find any A77 and NEX-7 backstage pictures! Watch out for leaks, and make me a call when you find them! Thanks 🙂

Looking at my NEX-5, the camera depicted in the picture seems to be the NEX-5N… anyways, we’re only only days from the announcement, but it is good to see some bits from what’s coming up soon.
it’s fake…
Yeah,quite likely a fake, since I’d expect the wheel’s labelling the same as the NEX-C3 only at top and bottom and no longer to the now customisable left and right.
Compared to the back view of the NEX-5 and NEX-C3 there are two small buttons on the top right side of this camera. NEX-5 and NEX-C3 have there just one button. Could it be the NEX-5N really? (or an unspecified chinese fake?)
What’s different with NEX-5?
Looks like the pictures were taken down from xitek….
So products are now already copied in China before worldwide launching?
Good one 🙂
China, the land of fakes.. Not really shocking if the product were seen before the actual launch date.
They managed to fake Apple Store, so faking the NEX-5N would be piece a cake for them.
That’s just not fair. Have you forgotten about the cheap adapters from China without which NEX would be much less fun!
Wouldn’t call it fake. Notice the top plate, buttons are slightly different than on the NEX-5. On the NEX-5 REC button is slightly lower than the playback button, and on this picture those buttons seem to be in line.
The top plate is itself slightly different, but the rest seems to be the same. Which is good and bad.
Good because I love My NEX-5, bad because they gave it external EVF and NEX-5 is stuck without it 😛
Is the leak about an accessory EVF for the 5N definite, only there doesn’t appear to be a mounting point for one?
