The NXcam with E-mount that should be announced on April 4.
We just received a possible data for a new Sony press release. On April 4 Sony could announce the new NEX-C3, the new NEX and PL camcorders and a possible “surprise”. We are sure the surprise camera will NOT be the A77 and NOT be a new fullframe camera. We received some info about that camera from new sources but I am trying to get some more info from trusted sources before to post anything on SonyAlphaRumors.
P.S.: I want to THANK all sources that sent me info during the last days. Without that help it would be impossible to post reliable rumors about Sonys future products. Thanks a lot!

“We received some info about that camera from new sources but I am trying to get some more info from trusted sources before to post anything on SonyAlphaRumors.”
Oh come on, almost 50% of your rumors are untrue, so why keep some infos in secret now?
Maybe because otherwise 75% would be untrue…
(btw, are you really surprised that rumors can be untrue?)
No, I am not surprised that rumors can be untrue. But this is a rumor site and saying something like “I know something new but I don’t tell you now, because I need more sources telling me the same” sounds wired for such a site, you know…
The NX Cam has not yet passed the ergonomics department? Looks a bit strange to handle that “box” at the end.
Notice the screw-holes in the top. It probably comes standard as this box, so that the people buying it can choose for themselves how they’ll use it (Shoulder-rig, tripod, top-handle, etc.)

I doubt this Cam is targeted at consumers for hand-held shooting. Looks good for studio/set rigs though.
А DSLR surprise, by any chance?
If the task was to surprise people, I would break out the A750. A heart attack guarantee for many)
Well, well, I think we already knew that the A77 would have a Q3 release. I’m curious about that surprise though
Probably something like another color for the nex-3…I wouldn’t get your hopes up too high, because it’ll probably be something really stupid/uninteresting(for photographers).
Yeah, I’m not exactly getting my hopes up. Probably som gimmick for “teh casuals”, like you said. Some new NEX-lenses would be cool, though
*holds thumbs* A-mount lens, A-mount lens, A-mount lens… ok, it won’t happen I guess – in whole Sony history there was not even a single lens released in April, but well…. E-bayonet lens would be cool for sure. It’s what’s most needed right now.
I was Sony, I would brake out the “smaller then Leica M9 Full Frame mirrorless with extraordinary high resolution EVF” -A950.
With the unlimited resources of Sony, why not?
Sony is easy to guess. We will see A199, A299, A399, A499, A599, A39 and A59, and NEX-3/5 in two new colors 🙂
Is there a trade event due in the third quarter?
Man, what a way to start of the week, no A77, nor FF or new CZ alpha lens. Its going to be a long week.
Well it may not be that dull. It is kind of weird to have two annuoncements simultaneoulsy fo rth esame model
1. NEX-3C in white, black, maroon, yellow, fuchsia, blue, red, green
2. NEX-3C in even more clors aquamarine, magenda, light brown, electric green, jade, lime
Sony can pick exotic names and colors here for many announcements to come http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_colors
PS I just hope they keep making black cameras on 1st announcement
I vote for NEX-3C Arsenic edition. It’d convince me to buy NEX. Really. 😉 But I’m sure my friend can’t wait for Piggy Pink Collectors Edition.
If а Piggy Pink or Chicken Yellow or Crazy Tartan A77 was announced this moment, next moment I’d be the first one upon it. My word, I would.
Goddamn waiting…
:))
New Nex 3 (the old nex 3 isn’t so old!?) but no release of the successor of the A700. Shame on Sony!!!!
So long time without a semi pro apsc dslr. What for a company. So ugly!
!!!!!!!
Where’s the NEX 7 ???
Let us see…. been how long since Sony announced a replacement for the a700 and in the meantime we have been blessed with not one, not 2, not 3 but more than 6 “new Cameras”. Great way to treat a known customer base.
A66 or A22?
I think they should really build at least 2 versions.
1/ low megapixel camera mailny for super low light and video
2/ A77 high megapixel focused mainly for photographers with no compromise
Guys – be positive. It always could be worse.
Did you heard most recent announcement for 4/3 system owners? Let me quote:
“E-5 fills the pro gap until the “PEN Pro” becomes available in a couple of years”
Imagine that you hear something like that from Sony and owning glass for 10k+ you start to regret ever even getting into Photography. ~_~
That’s just sad. Not only they won’t get any DSLR soon, but also they won’t get any DSLR or pro-aspiring camera in a couple of years…. the company screwed it’s clients as much as it could.
So we here are all fine comparing to what’s going on in our smaller(sensor) friends.
Good for You avoiding to post this on 43rumors:) olymaniacs would kill ya.
They put anger everythere but Oly itself 🙂
Oly is killing the whole dslr line slowly but surely and that is coming after the released some extraordinary lenses, too be they never matched them with good cameras…
sony hasa lot planned this year apparently, hopefully they will meet all our expectations.
Honestly I don’t think any company can meet people’s expectations, and most likely – it won’t meet my expectations which involve “flood of new lenses”, something like 6-10 new A-bayonet lenses, or at least two of these I plan to buy in time to come. But I’m sure of one thing: 2011 will be an even better year than 2010 was and that alone already makes me happy 🙂
In case anyone didn’t know,here’s how SonyAlphaRumors works:
in September 2010:
(SR3) A77 MAY BE ANNOUNCED IN LATE 2010
a few weeks passes:
(SR2) PRO PHOTOGRAPHERS ARE TESTING THE A77
a couple weeks later:
(SR5) A77 WILL NOT BE ANNOUNCED IN 2010
next month,
(SR2) A77 MAY HAVE FOVEON-LIKE SENSOR
a week later,
(SR4) A77 WILL MOST LIKELY NOT HAVE FOVEON-LIKE SENSOR
another week passes:
(SR3) A77 WILL BE ANNOUNCED IN APRIL 2011
two weeks later,
(SR2) PRO PHOTOGRAPHERS ARE IMPRESSED BY A77 HIGH ISO PERFORMANCE
next week,
(SR4) A77 MAY NOT BE ANNOUNCED IN TIME FOR APRIL 2011
and the following week:
(SR5) A77 WILL NOT BE ANNOUNCED IN APRIL 2011
and so forth…
just joking, admin, I know you are doing your best with limited information from the secretive Sony, and we are thankful for that, it just that everyone is getting impatient 🙁
Morgul! I answered you in the new post here: http://www.sonyalpharumors.com/a-must-read-for-every-sonyalpharumors-reader-everything-you-need-to-know-about-our-rumors/
Bye 😉
Admin, please don’t take my earlier post to be a criticism of the site… I visit this site every day, that means something, right? 🙂
Your efforts are much appreciated. Thank you!
