New NEX-6 video preview.
Sony Tokyo event:
Sony had a big event in Tokyo and you can read the article on DC.watch (translation here). They showed some graph that demonstrates how Sony is recovering after the Thai Flood disaster from last year. Sony is ruling the worldwide mirrorless market and that market is strongly gaining shares at cost of the classic DSLR market. They also announced the definitive shipping info for the new lenses. The pancake zoom will ship in January, the 10-18mm zoom on November 16th and the 35mm lens in December.

December and January are not “exact” shipping dates.
So happy to here shipping on the Nex 6 is going to happen early! Made my day.
Just got my NEX-6.
Overall a terrific camera and I am positively surprised with the 16-50 kit lens.
However, the camera burns battery like there is no tomorrow.
Does anyone know if the WiFi is always turned on?
Can it be turned off?
thanks
Did you get it with the 16-50mm lens?
I preordered my nex 6 from amazon (us) on the day it was announced. Around 7 am local time. My order still says
Not yet shipped. We’ll notify you via e-mail when we have an estimated delivery date for this item. It will ship separately. You can cancel at any time.
Hopefully it ships soon. Getting excited to play with it.
Same here! Cant wait any longer since I sold my 5N a few weeks ago!
Yeah, there it is on DC.watch the silver SEL-P1650 I’m hopefully gonna be able to buy with a NEX-5RL forthcoming spring…
I pre-ordered mine from Henry’s (Canada) online and it arrived here in Winnipeg via Express Post yesterday afternoon.
I’m loving the little camera. I’m planning on running a few tests on it over the weekend on various lenses and some video overheating/audio tests.
The kit lens is nice a portable, but not the greatest quality, but the camera seems to correct for the lens shortcomings. I have not viewed the raw files yet.
I have been trying out a LensBaby Tilt-Transformer with Composer and have played tried a few shots using some of my Nikkor MF primes. I’m happy with the results.
I do find the menu navigation a bit of a challenge to learn, but I’ve used Nikons for years and I think I just need to get used to the Sony interface.
I’m a little disappointed there is no touch screen. It is a little slow to work the onscreen keyboard with the control wheel, but the up side is that the screen will stay cleaner longer.
Great little camera, I’m sure I’ll start to use this more than my DSLR.

Tim – would love it if yo could post any details of your video overheating tests. Thanks!
Has anyone in the UNITED STATES received their NEX-6 or at least a shipping confirmation yet? Seems like it’s shipping everywhere but here!
Nothing from amazon for me yet!
I know, I had the same question. I’m sure I was one of the first to order right after release from Sony. I have seen nothing (minus the free camera bag) from Sony. Who actually is receiving NEX 6’s in the USA because I have have heard nothing? I was so happy earlier (see post above) but I think it was premature.
Dan
Is it overheat like 5n ???
Just thought to let some folks know that today my Amazon order for my Nex 6 kit has been moved to “Shipping Soon”. They also charged my card which is normal when an item is to be shipped. Can’t wait!
