I got a small A77 and NEX-7 update for you: A well known and a new SonyAlphaRumors source just sent me a good and a bad news.
The good news first: The NEX-7 and A77 announcement scheduled for mid July has not been delayed due the recent earthquake disaster.
The bad news: Quantities will be limited at first.
If quantities are limited the price might be higher than expected as retailers could higher the margin to compensate the loss in quantity. But that’s just my speculation and I hope I might be wrong. At least this is not true for the Sony A55 which just got a $50 instant rebate on US stores like Amazon, Adorama, B&H, J&R, eBay (Click on the names to directly see the A55 product page and price).
P.S.: I also got one more info from the new source I am checking with my trusted sources. Soon I should learn more about the exact announcement day.

Not really a rumor or news. More like common sense. These a77 and Nex-7 posts are becoming a bit redundant.
And I was so happy that soruces coud confirm to me (and us) that the cameras will not be delayed 🙂
Ah-ha! new avatar picture 😀 nice!
Of course it is new and a rumour. The news is that the announcement and camera have not been delayed, what more do you want?
*news
Don’t need new camera until next year. Hopefully cheap FF dSLT come sooner in 2012.
Besides announcement date. we need A77 & Nex7 final full spec and exact price 😀 hopefully someone send to admin 😀
+1 if you want Sony to offer a clear version of the a77! (the one in the image)
I would recommend Sony to apply for Guiness record about number of A77 mockups…
Hmm, should I buy this right away, or risk waiting for the second batch? What do you people think?
I will definitely wait for the next batch, it will be cheaper and it’ll give a chance for the reviews to be published.
Hey Andrea, thanks for the info. ¿Can you ask about the EVF on the NEX-7?
Hi,
Will the new A77 be the same size as the a33/a55?
Thanks.
Some people have been making direct comparisons between the A700 and A77 mock-up, and so far it seems like it will be roughly the same size as it (A700)

From what we have seen so far, it will be bigger.
