a7000 coming on February 13??
Where did you get that?
You are on this site and you ask that question. 🙂
Never this site stated that
Yes, very bizarre right? I don’t think anyone has ever made an unsubstantiated claim on this website before. Oh well, first time for everything right. I hope this isn’t a slippery slope.
Well, i certainly have never seen such a crazy statement, with exact date. Everything is like, this might be released with SR2-3-4-5 probability and all, but this guy outdone everything with that bomb
He/she was only guessing – and putting two pieces of information together – the rumor that an a7000 is coming – and the fact that Sony is holding a press conference on feb 13.
I didn’t say that either… it was an open question, but three days ago SAR said that new cameras are coming (A7000, RX curved…) but he doesn’t know if it will be at Sony press conference on February 13.

Just a speculation linking two news 🙂
Admin is guessing. A lot.
He needs to write something sometimes to keep the name “Rumors’ credible and not to be replaced by Sonyalphaspam.
It was an open question… according to this website, on February 13 we may expect new stuff ¿A9? ¿a7000? dunno…
Big vendors always know the new products in advance, so this price drop could explain the new Nex7 sucessor coming (in order to empty the stock).
No. CP+ will be held on February 13th. Then they will maybe anounce something there. Maybe nothing. Strange are the ways of the Lord.
That much of a drop suggest the model is about to be discontinued.
I has been discontinued for quite some time. Technically the A6000 replaced both the Nex-6 and Nex-7 according to Sony’s press releases at the time of introduction. The Nex-7’s are just the left overs that B&H got a deal on from Sony to clear the last of the warehouse inventory.
Why buying a Sony Nex 7 at 749$ ( or 769$ body only at Amazon US) when the Sony A7000 could cost 699$ body only?
How do you know how much will hypotethic camera cost?
You’re right, I erased the part of message i was writing maybe it means the Sony A7000 at 699$ was just a SR2 rumor :p
with the Sony A7000 and Sony A9 i would like also a LA-E6 with A7 II ( or sony A6000 if they are ambitious) AF system because the LA-E4 is quite disappointing. I mostly use MF with it because 15-point AF system with 3 cross sensors is very frustrating system when used with a sony A6000
No no, it doesnt go that way. LAEA cannot utilize A6000 focus system, because it is sensor based. Maybe they could put in a77 mk2 autofocus, but then, whats the point in not buying a77II? I like it compact. May it be NEX7 with faster than A6000 OSPDAF and IBIS.
also – is there any reason that anyone would buy an NEX 7 rather than the a6000? Just asking. Is there some advantage the NEX 7 still has?
Yes, to me it is a better camera. Much more resilent all metal body, better controls, better EVF with higher resolution and refresh rate, and even higher DR. A6000 has much better tracking AF, but still not DSLR good.
So, NEX 7 is a higher grade body and has a better EVF (and maybe better sensor). But A6000 has better AF? Is that the summary?
Well there are more minor (or major to some) differences. Nex7 has digital level gauge, a6000 doesnt, nex7 has external mic, a6000 doesnt. A6000 has new features like GPS, wifi, that nex7 doesnt. In my opinion, a6000 is more consumer oriented
Thanks for taking the time to explain the differences. I like a lot of what the nex 7 offers – but maybe I will wait and see what the upcoming a7000 has to offer.
A6000 has better video codec as well. Definately wait. 🙂
As a Nex-7 owner, I’d say that is a good option to wait for the 7000. On the comparison vs the 6000…Nex-7 is magnesium body, overall build quality and everything previously mentioned. With regards to the menu system I’d say that if you take the time to customize what you can creatively, you won’t complain too much about the menus. I like the TRI-NAVI system and no permanent PASM dial it makes for fast adjustments. I can’t compare the A6000 menu since I haven’t the experience with it. If for some reason I get another aps-c for the form factor to go along side my FF I think the A7000 could be the one to go with.
The NEX-7 menu is a crap, we all know this, but the camera is so nicely customizable that once you have made you menu setting, you will forget all about the menu anyway.
NO Digital level compared to Nex7?!?And this is the same camera that has all the reviewtards giving up systems they’ve taken years and thousands to accrue to use a6000 or whatever :I Digital level is really important…I had to use a cube shaped bubble one which i smoothed the corners off of on my Pentax K01 and it was still a fuss to get level. As an example, i always ended up fixing any shots i even remotely cared about once i noticed they were even slightly off level by having to load up in photoshop or such, tilt and trim the sides as close to the new corners as possible XD. I couldn’t even look at them again otherwise.
650 words and not one coherent thought or sentence. Stop spamming.
Says someone who bounces their I.P. address more times than that in a day of politicotrolling or whatever, masquerading as someone with an actual opinion.
This wall of words . .
This actual Sony camera user who does photography…
Lol, thousand words of bullshit.
I think it “levelled” off now.
Oh, really?
I never use a tripod..sorry i didn’t expect you to understand that…
If you knew what i JUST thought of you might not be so sure of yourself politotroll.
But I’m not politotroll
Prove it with a photo from your Sony cam of any object on a piece of paper with a star around it. Otherwise stop being an idiot to a real photographer, your politico actions are irredeemable.
Funny.
More bother than selecting a photo crop from the web for avatar i guess.
Better play american football, you should not place yourself here.
Prove it with an image taken with your Sony cam of any object on a piece of paper with a star drawn around. Or does the suggestion of doing that offend you: ironically. Or rather you can be bothered to ruin someone elses life for your political purposes but not to mock up an image from a given camera. In fact you JUST have no ethics OR reason. But yeah sure, you must have some knowledge of Indonesia..right? Wrong, anyone who is demonstrably real and a photographer can ask you something that you cannot answer about your own supposed country of origin, apart from me of course as you get first dibs don’t you.
Your opinion is deadly wrong. The a6000 is a great camera for enthusiasts and even pros.
NEX-7 has external mic, but it serves to nuts since the camera sensor overheats after 1 minute in hot climate. Putting video facility in a camera and not be able to shoot a sequence longer than a minute is frustrating. Beside that, I am a manual focuser, so NEX-7 is for me the ideal body and I bought that camera for this purpose only.
Worked perfectly fine for me, at about 30 degrees celsius in the Aegean. Never used it in desert of Sudan or similar though.
You do not own an a6000, so you have no idea. It is, in fact, “DSLR good”. I have one, and I have DSLRs.
Lol, man, no need to go butthurt. I said “to me”. I have tried it, i thought it would be good to upgrade from nex7 because of AF, and because i would lose no money in transition. But to me, it was toyish. No comparison to n7. I didnt just came up with that its AF isnt DSLR good. Many reviewers have stated that, on sensor pdaf still cant compete with mirror pdaf. A6000 just have too many cuts to keep the cost down in my opinion. Dont think you are some economy genius and sony`s economists and sale department are retarded. There are reasons why nex7 is still more expensive than A6000. It was the same thing when Canon 60D appeared, everybody was like: “This has sooooo much better specs than 7D, why is 7D more expensive, that old dinosaur camera?” Well, if you used one, you would know.
Nex 7 has really bad consumer level menu system and really loose dials.
Price still seems high… What are you getting with the NEX-7 that you don’t get in the a6000, and for less money?
NEX 7 has one touch manual focus zoom, A6000 does not. IMHO this makes the N7 much better for manual focus lenses.
Time for an upgrade, I guess?
Man, how many of these things did they make? This camera should be $500 tops, especially since subsequent NEX cameras are better and cheaper.
They used luxury plastic on this one.
If you want a camera with an LCD screen that delaminates over time, has a rubber grip that comes apart, and also a noisier 24mp, then by all means waste your money and buy the NEX-7. If you want a camera that does not have these problems and has Phase Detect AF, then get the A6000. I got rid of my NEX-7 and bought the A6000. I have not regretted it one bit. Also makes a great partner to my A7.
I can already smell the sweet a7000 from here.
That’s the smell of high quality plastic your gettin a wiff of.
Yes, we should burn every plastic!
Hopefully there will be a CP+ announcement..
Can we get the A77II down to this price please. I mean, it’s worth a lot more, but you know…the whole I’m cheap thing.
