The new Sony A57 is right now in Stock at Amazon (Click here to grab it) and is the most sold Sony DSLR camera of the moment (here is the ranking). And both, the NEX-7 body only (Click here) and the NEX-7 witk kit lens (Click here) are also in Stock. And that is also the camera that makes it into the top 20 of all sold digital cameras, compact, mirrorless and DSLR.
P.S.: New Sony cameras will be announced soon. I am working to find out the right announcement date!

Everyone seems to have nex 7 (body online) in stock EXCEPT B&H 🙁
why only the a57 kit? makes no sense to me…
D3200@24MP + $100 = A57@16MP
or
Nikon kit = Sony body only
Is that real math ?
Get the a57 body only and 16-50 f/2.8 lens.
I have that lens with A65, it’s excellent and you get pixel interpolation in the new A57 to get focal range to 100mm.
Canon Nikon Live View AF time is very slow compared to all SLT, so if you like to shoot stills in that mode, SLT is the way to go.
Could have already bought it at many Best Buy locations… I did. I love it too. Upgraded from the a100 and I didn’t realize that cameras could be that much better!
I thought the A57 was being delayed as they tried to figure out some firmware issues?
It has been available at Best Buy locations for a few weeks now.
Impressive?

Not one tiny bit impressive. Good P&S shots at best. Personally, I can’t believe Nikon would try to promote a new camera with such average images.
huh? I thought only Sony owners took pictures of their cat?
I lolled
hmmm, that low-light happy birthday photo is not impressive at all. Bad focus, too much noisy in background… and this with ISO 1600.. I thought Nikon is the “King” of precise focussing and low-light. My 6-years old bridge-cam do it same good…
Can one of you guys wake me up when there is some real news ? Thanks.
Old wine in new bottle here, folks. Move along.
Waiting for the A37 and A99 announcements. I’m guessing we will see a new body for A37 closer to Nikon D3200 and Canon Rebel in size but lighter. Same 16MP sensor as A57 but no virtual horizon, articulated LCD or autofocus motor.
Mine shipped direct from Sony today… it’s going to be a loooong wait until it arrives on Monday! 🙂
I’m with Zony on this. BTW, check out Luminous Landscape to see how the Sony sensor in the D800 and D800e is doing with and without the AA filter. Better resolution, AND no moire in the “e” version…..
is A57 good for studio set up?
Have a look at page 83 of the A57 English user manual.
It states that you can turn off the exposure simulation in the EVF just like the A77.
About time too!
