A source who shared correct info in the past told me the current NEX-5T will be discontinued in July. He also said a replacement would come in September.
The NEX-5T currently sells as low as $479 with kit lens on [shoplink 26924 ebay]eBay (Click here)[/shoplink].

Presumably after last year’s upgrade (in the loosest possible sense of the word), this is going to be a more serious update?
The only upgrade thus far was from NEX-5 to NEX5N. All others just changed the numbers and kept charging high prices after the initial price of a model started crashing. Those who already own a camera in the system are prudent to wait for a few months (until there is a 33% drop) and then make a decision.
There were evolutional Updates… 5R got phase-detect AF and Wifi, 5T got NFC and flip-up screen :p The next update brings probably A6000 Sensor, A6000 AF and new menu which makes a very solid camera, especially because it has to sell for even less money than the A6000! I am interested if they ditch the NEX accessory stuff and hive the NEX-5T replacement a hotshoe… I would also like a flash in the size of the HVL-20S for the new hotshoe!
Sony already sell the HVL-F20M for the new hotshoe.
Please compare the size of the HVL-F20S and the HVL-F20M before posting like a drunken monkey.
45g is all the difference. If think that Sony will make another smaller HVL-f20 flash you are deluded as will as rude
Do you know the difference of size and weight? The HVL-20M is ridiculously big on a a6000 when using the SEL1650PZ, SEL16F28, SEL20F28 and even SEL35F18… I would appreciate a smaller flash for a camera system which tries to be as small as possible while fitting an APS-C sensor into the body.
Maybe not current A6000 sensor but definitely it should have fast PDAF combo from A6000. Maybe even with smaller megapixel sensor 16mpix – current next lineup or 20mpix current A3000-3500 lineup. That will split NEX lineup more, and move A6000 higher..
The 5R has a flip up screen too… as does the 5N if I’ve not mistaken. It’s just the 5 that didn’t have it.
With flip-up screen I meant 180º flip up screen to take selfies 😉
Which is what I meant too. The 5 didn’t have one that went 180 degrees. I have both a 5 and a 5R 😉
I like the apps and Wi-Fi from 5r onwards. This makes these camera’s much more versatile.
Don’t forget, the 5r got a new control wheel that the 5n didn’t have. A great addition because the 5n is not great in manual mode.
Of course they stupidely removed this from the a5000. So hoping for a successor with more manual controls.
Which duplicates the back wheel functionality, thus basically useless
The 5R wheel is pretty useful.
In addition to what Richard said, the 5R also got phase detect AF points.
I hope it will feature fast AF, 24 MP, high dynamic range from A6000 in NEX-5 form factor (no EVF) with touch screen and all the usual NEX-5N goodness – then it’s time to upgrade! 🙂

Probably a new Fe fullframe without hump comming.
Err… the reason for the hump is because the FF sensor takes space where the viewfinder sits in NEX and A6000 models. So don’t hold your breath.
While this is right, the 5T replacement wouldn’t have an EVF at all, so would be ‘humpless’
Good point 🙂
I still think a NEX 5T replacement is unlikely though. I think the days of having 4 APS-C models to choose from are gone.
I wonder how they’re going to call it. They already have an A5000, and then it goes straight up to A6000!
Exactly what I am thinking 😮
I find the idea of a replacement unlikely. Sony seem to be thinning what was the NEX line.
Plus, what do they ca
Alpha 5500 or Alpha 50 🙂
Agreed..The A5000 and A6000 covers the market.
I don’t care what they call it. Just make a a6000 clone, 200 euros cheaper in a 5T body with same 5T port so that I can plug my Flash and viewfinder.
And, while making it, don’t forget the touch screen and electronic level that the 5T had.
If they do that, then they have one sold 🙂
Otherwise I need to start to look to other brands
I thought that Sony A5000 is a replacement for NEX 3 and 5 :/
what are they going to call it ?
A5000 mark 2 ?
A5000T ?
personally I doubt that there will be a replacement for it
let me suggest you the grouping of the camera’s by the Color Reproduction Precision.
(according to the DXOmark measuremens of the SMI,
Sensitivity Metamerism Index.
The definition of the Sensitivity Metamerism Index from

Sounds correct. My dad just picked up a new NEX 5T with kit lens and 55-210 for under $600.
I don’t think that there will be a replacement to the Nex-5t because Nex-7 married Nex-6.
they gave birth to baby girl and called her A6000 , she took her moms body and the sensor of her dad.
Nex-5T married Nex-3N, they had a baby boy and called him A5000 with the size of his mom but he took his fathers grip.
So if there will be any Nex-5T successor that means Nex-5T is cheating on Nex-3N.
Nex-5T should be called Nex-5C :/
Slightly disturbing…But very funny 🙂
We don’t want to know where A7 came from!
A7/R/S story is 18+ .. Sorry
All I can tell you is .. The A7S is a lesbo
I love u VirusX! your rock dude ! you’re very helpful and funny too. we need more people like you in this site and less of animalsbybarry type of people hehe
What did animalsbybarry do ? He is only speaking his mind.
So you either agree with him or just pass.
Thanks for the compliment
That really makes me worry about the Rumored A/E hybrid camera.
Yuck!
Lol
Yes that dildo xD
a7 is asexual… doesn’t go either or both ways.
Not every model gets a direct replacement. Otherwise we wouldn’t have the Sony bodies we have today to begin with. Internally the 5T is probably discontinued for some already, they just got enough stock to make it look like a current model.
Few month ago sony officials told me in Facebook that there will be definitely NEX 5T replacement in case of camera with touchscreen as all modern NEX 5 lineup was created. And they also told me about camera name, yes currently sony don’t have a space between A5000 and A6000, but they told it’s not a problem to release with current model name sequence camera with name such as Sony A5500 for example… So I believe successor will be and touchscreen will be too. Otherwise I’ll think about to move from current sony compact mirror lens cameras to Samsung NX or possible Fuji… Finish
Current lineup
A6000 – NEX 6-7 replacement OK
A5500 – NEX 5N-R-T replacement should be there, with touchscreen of course
A5000 – Downgrade combo of NEX 3 and 5 lineup. So in good way they should call it A4000 but with some devils numbers related to 4 in asian countries there will be no A4000… OK
A3000-A3500 – NEX 3 with DSLR style body, there is definitely possible to have Ax500 camera in current lineup=) Proved with current A3500=) OK
Try Leica T .. Full touch screen control.. Minimalist design .. Sexy.. Not that expensive
Only 2 lenses available
But so damn tempting.. Even the accessories are beautiful.
I hate money
What about A5800? It will remind us of the great A580. 🙂
Hang on, first you say Sony told you they will DEFINITELY replace the NEX 5T, and even told you the name. Then you say the name could be, not will be A5500, and if they don’t replace it you’ll move to another manufacturer?
This makes no sense.
The wi-fi and touchscreen implementation needs a big improvement, not happy with my Nex5r in these areas.
Let’s see, no room between a5000 and a6000… Not to worry, it’s replacement will be the A5 FE version we saw patented a while back. First $1000 full frame 🙂
By the way, for all the people here who would almost certainly whine about such a camera, if they bring that out I am definitely getting one. Shaped like a 5T, add a MI hotshoe and A7 sensor and I am sold.
Sony better uses the NEX-7 body with the A7 sensor and lower spec shutter (to have enough room for built in EVF). That’s what everybody wanted instead of the A7 body with EVF hump.
Besides, I don’t see room for a 5T successor. The A5000 is already on the market. Maybe Sony does a Canon by naming it the A5000 MARKII with A6000 price and AF but touchscreen and no EVF.
Who is ‘everybody’? I don’t, not even remotely interested, especially with the sacrifices They would have had to make. Can’t just ‘fit’ an EVF in a FF NEX-7 and a) have anywhere for it to go, b) have the same level of quality optics and c) end up with a stupid 16:9 screen.
Pass.
Of course I agree. You just pointed out the main disadvantages of a design many people preferred to see compared to the sony A7, which I have myself.
I mainly refer to the tri-navi fans who couldn’t appreciate the quad-navi on the A7.
But a FF 5T would have the same stupid 16:9 screen, so I would prefer an RX1 style body with normal grip.
Thank you 🙂 I agree with everything you just said! I think it is likely to be more like an RX1 with A7 grip and no hump, though I wouldn’t mind if it was more 5T like as a secondary body just to be a bit smaller.
That could be a smart move… it would also be an excellent back up body.
sony move-on A7000 12mp sensor slog2 XAVCS. Consumers want this
Which 12MP sensor? If it’s APS-C I’m not interested.
Better resolution less noise better lowligt.
Better resolution than what?
Is this a monologue?
That would be stupid discuss up to its old tricks of mixing usernames… which is why people get accused of saying things they didn’t and other anomalies.
Yes, seemed a bit odd, looks to have been fixed now
If you see weird stuff happening, refresh the page. Disquis has quite a few bugs with it asynchronous update.
making room for the A5000…..makes sense! so it looks like the new lineup will be A3000, A5000, and A6000.

Uhm, there already is an a5000 which sits below the 5T
History repeats itself. Take a look at A58 vs A57.
A57 was a much better camera overall. Same goes for NEX5T, which is better than A5000
Yes but that doesn’t exclude the fact there is already an a5000. How hard is that to understand?
i hope a full articulating screen that unfolds sideways will be added to this one.
