Sorry guys, I just noticed that the NEX-7 link I gave you yesterday had an error. Here is the correct link to the NEX-7 body preorder at Bhphoto: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/817846-REG/Sony_NEX_7_B_NEX_7_Digital_Camera_with.html. Meanwhile a SAR readers contacted me to say that they called Sonystore to preorder the NEX-7 body at Sonystore USA (Click here) . The answer was that it will ship on February 10th. This is probably right seeing that BH is accepting preorders.
And now that the NEX-5n is back in Stock at Amazon (Click here) it is again the most sold mirrorless camera (Click here to see the ranking). P.S.: That GE camera that is on top is certainly a mistake made by Amazon (not a mirrorless camera!).

I think I’m ready to press on that order button, 🙂 B&H here I come, just wish they would give free shipping and not charge me taxes, saving about 20$ from buying in Canada and who knows when it will be available here
Unfortunatelly they will charge Canadian taxes and you need to pay shipping.
I actually have P.O box across the border in Champlain, and will pick it up their, but I still get charged 93$ in taxes,
I guess that N.Y tax
Probably.In Ontario they charge the full HST (13%).Even worst.Not their fault, I know. I remember the time when I was ordering from BC or Quebec stores and pay only the 5% GST.Not anymore.
I need an address in Alberta that will solve the problem 🙂
Henry’s.ca is only charging me 60$ in taxes and free shipping, might look at that option as well
Good news!
Also for Canadians, this Montreal dealer claims to have the Zeiss 24mm f/1.8 in stock : https://shop.camtecphoto.com/shop.php?IDC=100&IDSC=117
Nice thanks for the info Manu, I’m from Montreal and had never heard of them, I’ll check them out

Somehow I don’t belive that they sold any NEX7 kits…
Well they are 10$ cheaper then anywhere else
Good news 🙂 this is probably why they sold out so quickly lol
I believe they meant the NEX-7 alone, it’s the same text for both. They maybe got a few NEX-7 (Henry’s did have a few too).
Anyway, they seem to have the lens in stock.
When will the kit ship from Sony???
Well the kit will probably take a while cause I’m sure painting the kit lens to black must be a very complicated task. They must be using some nano-tech smart paint that turns into black automatically when the body is a Nex 7 🙂
Harr harr, funny. The Kit lenses are *MADE IN THAILAND* and it’s much more complicated to restore a lens manufacturing plant than a simple camera assembly plant. This is why the 50mm, scheduled to ship December 12th originally is now not expected until March.
The same basic timeline as the black kit lens for the NEX-7 kits.
Nice they have 5N + 18-55 kit, but when will be 16mm + 18-55mm dual lens kit in stock again?
Just called Sony and they don’t have any nex-7 cameras in country before end of march
I told the rep about feb 10 and he started to laught he said normal practice to have people order before it is in country
The reps have absolutely zero direct knowledge of the supply chain. My local camera shop has received several bodies over the last 2 months. Their distributor rep from Sony says to expect more bodies only late Jan/early Feb. Probably just 1 for that store (and luckily I am #1 on the list for it). Sony distributes cameras differently to different types of outlets. They probably won’t sell any through Sony Style in the US until April, that’s true, but other stores are a different matter.
BH would absolutely not take pre-orders if they didn’t have a reason to believe they are going to get some cameras, even if only a few.
Just only a few days earlier than the Fuji.
I don’t know which camera to get, the a77 or nex-7!!! I know it takes more than just the camera but I just want the best hardware.I don’t own any lenses, so it doesn’t matter. Besides portrait, I’ll will be shooting high school baseball pics of my cousin. Just help me please!!
I see new reviews on amazon that nex 5n still clicks on video… how it possible to pay so much mony for somethin defective?
SonyStyle definitely told me February 10 for the 7 body only as well. And just FYI they told me March 23 for the SEL50F18. Both of these were ordered Jan. 6. I understand the 7 delay but why is the 50mm taking so damn long…
Just ignore all the previous dozen or two promised dates we previously missed.
I noticed my estimated ship date was changed from December 18 to January 25 a few days ago. I just called Sales Cust Service (1-877-865-SONY) and was told that per a memo they received last night no NEX 7’s will be shipped before April. I made sure he knew this was for an existing order (I gave him the order number), and that the extimated shipping date was updated online at Sony.com a few days ago to January 25, and he again told me that per a notice his department received last night delivery would be in April. You can believe what you want, I am just repeating what the agent told me a few minutes ago.
Was the memo relating to the kit or did it also cover orders for the body?
I did not ask that exact question (body or kit) but the rep did repeat my order to me and he knew it was only for the body. Like I said, believe what you prefer I am only repeating what was told me.
Just confirmed with Sony again. Nex-7 kit shipping March 2. I really hope I’m surprised and it ships on Feb 10.Ordered dec 19
If the body only ships 2/10, the kit will probably ship 2 weeks later.
FWIW, I’ve been checking my sonystyle.com order daily, and the shipping date which was 4 April was just changed to 20 February.
The status has changed online for my order. It is now READY FOR SHIPMENT with a shipping date of 1/31/2012 (tomorrow). We’ll see what happens, I still would not bet the farm on it actually shipping tomorrow.
My Nex-7 order status was just updated to SHIPPED as of 1/31/2010 and it gives me a Fedex tracking number. According to Fedex the package shipped from La Grange, IL, yesterday in route for the Fedex facility at Champaign, IL. From there it will be forwarded on to my location, Marietta, GA. So I guess it is true, it is on it’s way! I have all of my E-mount lenses already waiting for it (fish eye, wide angle, 16mm, 18-55mm zoom, 18-200mm zoom). It should arrive on Friday!
Ordered body only from Sony online on 1/25. Yesterday received email notice of delayed shipping to 3/25.
