Many trusted sources informed me that Sony decided to delay the A77 and NEX-7 announcement from July 7th to late August. Reason for that delay are production problems. To be more detailed it looks like that there is a production issue with minor components of the cameras. The cameras will be in Stock in late September/early October.
I know that’s bad news, after the Tsunami disaster I received info about production problems from Sony but I also had been told that Sony would not delay the A77 announcement and deliver the camera a couple of months later than expected. This has changed (and we certainly cannot blame Sony for that).
Oh, and before you start to think that this rumor might not be true there are a couple of things you have to keep in mind:
1) Also the NEX-C3 and A35 were supposed to be announced in early April but than the announcement have been delayed to early June. Some of you didn’t believe me and it wos good for me that Sony itself leaked the images and manual on their websites in April (it proved that my sources were correct).
2) I got the info about the A77 delay from many trusted sources. The same sources that gave me correct info in the past.
3) If I am correct than there should be already product images of the A77 (like it was for the NEX-C3 and A35 in April). And the good news is that I have one of those pictures 😉
Tomorrow (Wednesday) at 12:00 GMT (London Time) I will post the very first picture of the A77 (+ little surprise). If you are wondering why I didn’t post the picture last week the answer is that the source told me to wait until a certain date (the reason will be unknown forever). So sorry for the pre-announcement suffering 😉
See you tomorrow!
P.S.: As usual, if you have a “rumor” to share use the contact form on the right sidebar. Avoid to send me your name and email address but it would be nice if you could use some kind of fake name so that I can recognize you in future. Oh, and the contact form doesn’t store any hidden info like the IP-address.

Sad 🙁 but it gives us more time to save up 🙂 lets hope that rivals don’t come up a new product.
Oh, no….
Well do you like the pictures of A77 that you have? I might be interested in A77 little brother.
So tomorrow then? Can’t wait 🙂
Please let the surprise be a new CZ lens.
Admin, a picture of the A77 or a picture taken by the A77?
And yes, hanugro has a point: what about the A57 (A75 or whatever)? If that is the same A77 with, say, 16 or 18 mpix, then it’s going to be a very promising body.
It will be a non metal body But I don’t really need that, so it suit me if the price is cheaper.
Dannngg..! *fainted after read this news..hahaha..
ok..i admit this a freaking big news..let alone..the “SR5” symbol..haha..
btw, Andreas, i just wanna ask sumthin..so, your title is..
“(SR5) HOT: Sony A77 and NEX-7 announcement has been delayed from July to August!!!”
i just want to reconfirm..so, NEX-7 is a “real thing”..? or it’s just a rumor and doesnt exist..? coz we dont see any evidence until now..and if you said that the NEX C3 picture was leaked in April (the time when it supposed to be out) as well as A77 that you will give it to us the picture tomorrow..what about NEX 7..? shouldn’t we have got the picture too..? :D..
Thanks Andreas.. 🙂
Who is Andreas?
Sony Alpha Rumor is run and own by Andreas.
Hmm, I thought it was Andrea.
oopps…sorry..yes..it is Andrea..haha..i got a friend name Andreas..so it’s already a habit to call em that name..
So sorry Andrea about the incorrect spell.. 😀
Hmm just another month to wait, the shipment dates hasn’t changed at least. But yay to the first picture of the a77. I am curious as to what this ‘little surprise’ will be. The picture and little surprise will be good enough compensation for the delayed announcement 🙂
If it’s not an evf for Nex, then ?I’m not interested.
SLT for u then.
I want two a77 and one nex7, and I´ll be buying both from the link on your page. Thanks!
Cheers, J
You are rich. Good for you.
hopefully its not just a picture of one knob or so 😀 i`m really curious of how the A77 looks like. a little teaser pic of the Nex-7 wouldnt hurt either 😉
Well sorry but this makes no sense to me.
If Sony were going to ANNOUNCE the a77 on July 7th and release it in October why would they delay the ANNOUNCEMENT to August but STILL release it on schedule because of “production problems”?
If there are “production problems” wouldn’t they be delaying the release?
Maybe they delayed the announcement to coincide with Nikon’s
rumored D400 so not to lose thunder?
Yeah I agree you on that. It’s just like they shut their own fire!
Think of all the sites that get a preview version of the cam. If there are problems, their first impression might suffer. I guess Sony might just want to avoid that….
Admin, one suggestion – put a twitter button for easy twitter sharing 🙂
Im so excited. I’ve been waiting for a replacement for my A700.
I hope the announcement of the Nikon D400 (which is likely to have the same sensor) doesn’t over shadow the release of the A77. IMHO Sony would have been wise to announce the A77 and get in some pre-orders for the A77 before the D400 comes along. Now we’ll have a proportion of buyers who will wait for the reviews of the two cameras to come out before deciding which one to get. I can’t see the D400 being anything, but outstanding so this decision must have been forced on Sony. Shame as I was looking forward to the A77 for the Summer.
Looks like Christmas now to me.
the D400 will be 600-700usd more expensive. almost buying a 2nd A77 body.
the price factor will make A77 a good seller. and also, i believe if A77 is delay due to production issue, i bet nikon will have scare number of 24mp sensor too
Ah ha… not a surprise at all! and not really a bad news! 😀
I can enjoy my 600D awhile lol…
Looks like you’ll have to reset your countdown.
The announcement was not delayed but it was never scheduled for July in the first place.
Wake up people..
proof?
Andreas, 12:00 GMT/UTC is 1:00pm London time 😉 : we are in summer and there is the so-called daylight saving time.
Andreas,if the release date is also SR5?:)
I hope the surprise is an SEL-55200
Don’t have 1000€ to spend on a CZ for the time being 🙂
There is one more thing that confirms at least two months postpone. When you look at firmware updates for nex there is date in filename in form of two digits monts and two digits year. All previous firmwares were released with this scheme and on the time. V4 firmware has 0411 in the name – that means it was scheduled and ready for April. It was postponed with rescheduling C3 press release. I guess they wouldn’t like to release it before C3.
New CZ standard zoom APSC lens with SSM please!
I’m exited about the A77 picture, and the surprise aswell. Great news!
ALl I can say now is that it is a very sexy camera. It’s the desktop image on my laptop!
too bad!
I wanted to switch to Sony by August and cover a big event with the new system in September. that means I will keep my Canon and my money and wait for the next big job to make the switch. as usual Canon will take the lead and bring something better before the others so keeping my lenses is not a bad idea after all!
Too bad. Sorrow :(.
Delay is not a problem, people like me has been wait for years, as long as it will be out this year, I am happy.
Very exciting about the A77, time tell the Canon users (especially to my friend) that Sony cameras are better. btw I am G.A.S user.
Mark, you are a really a true believer. You will believe in anything. Feed you a crap sandwich and you will say its fillet Mignon. Anyway what is Sony’s motto? yeah, I remember : make.believe !
Well keep on make.believing on this A77 Sony super DSLR
What you said is true PhotoNut, I am a believer, especially with Sony/Apple products lol.
What I’ve found with my friend Canon 5dm2, the view finder is poor!! the control is poor (althought it pack with lot of features), the handling is poor. The worst is the user. Canon user tend to a more believer than me (I am an anti-canon user). Well, whether A77 is king or not, the photographer will make a different.
It’s pretty sure now that the nex-7 is not for this year, unfortunatly !.. Because a serious mirrorless body (FF, a dream) from sony would be an important step, a serious innovation for my Leica and other rangefinder lenses !
For the digital Slr, there are plenty of good ones in the market (canon, nikon…) with a lot of very good lenses…
Why is it pretty sure that the NEX-7 “is not for this year,” Nico?
I hope I’m wrong but like it was said before there is absolutly no other info or strong rumors about a nex-7 (not like the a77…) so maybe we’re just hoping for a nex-C5 to replace the nex-5 this year ??…
NEX-7 is for this year!
For sure Andrea..?? 😀
Thanks Andrea ! so happy to be wrong !! 🙂
Yes, sources just told me a PRO NEX is coming with the A77 (it doesn’t sound like a simple NEX-5 upgrade).
Andera,
Sorry to hear about the a77, I know that many followers of this website are looking forward to purchasing this camera body.
I have been meaning to ask about the production status of the various components that make-up both bodies and lenses.
I’m sure the information about Sony’s manufacturing and distribution facilities that makeup camera and lens production chain is available, as many Japanese are suffering because of the lack of employment, although nobody in the west has recently written much about it.
1.)What is the production status of the division that manufactures DSLR and NEX cameras bodies?
2.)Has Sony’s sensor manufacturing division recovered?
3.)What is the current status of the division that design and build lenses including Zeiss?
Understanding the above will go a long way to setting expectations for people following this site.
And a BIG thank you for all of the hard work!
I have no reliable answer on that. Generally I heard sensor production dropped by 25-30%. But the real probem are small components SOny buys from third pary companies. Lens production has been not affected.
Bye!
Hopfully we can now get some info on the differances between A77 and A57/75 whatever. I was not expecting to see one in uk before Oct anyway and even then only plan on getting one a month or two later when the first sale bundel offers arive. vut as I need to save up I am still not sure I can affored (or need)A77 hence my interest in the differance between it and A57.
I agree, although the a77 is impressive it sounds like too much camera for my casual use, but I’m definitely anxious to hear more about the a57/a65 specs and pricing.
This wait is driving me nuts.. I’ve sold my a700 already keeping only the a55, well it is a great camera too… But I miss all the manual control and VG as well as the better ergonomics… Hope I can lay my hand on it soon… It’s been a long long wait for the a700 replacement… Hope this is the last delay from Sony, others are recovering fast and if you don’t act fast, you won’t get any advantage in market share Sony…
London isn’t GMT right now, the UK is in British Summer Time which is UTC/GMT +1.
Hi, how true is not the delay, as on the lists of Sony are the A77 / A65(24 megapixel 10 Fts and a lower price than the A77!)and 16 50 7 2.8 SSM and Nex … it’s all about strategy to create more wishes!
Sigh… I was hoping the NEX-7 was going to be out soon. Nearly pulled the trigger on a NEX-5 when it released but held back as there was just ‘something’ missing from it. Any leaks of how the NEX-7 would look like?
“a700 replacement delayed” – same text for last three years, nothing new.
hey andrea, can you please re-post a quick spec sheet of the a77? this is the main upgrade i have been waiting for from, a300 and a NEX-5 —> a77 baby!
Will do that tomorrow!
so far there hasn’t been any info on the NEX-7, it’s hard to believe that it’s gonna be announced august. Besides, in the past the NEX cameras usually didn’t use the newest sensors. Are you sure the NEX-7 will be announced along with A77?
Sony shot themselves in the foot by spending their resources on the C3 and a35. They are not worthy upgrades and it seems ridiculous to release a new low end model (and only a year after the release of NEX and SLT) when people have been screaming for an a700 successor for years. I am not impressed…especially after the firmware “update”.
You’re so right…..it makes no sense at all….
Ha, Ha!
Sony is leaking some awesome news on June 22! NEX 5 or NEX 7?
Pentax is holding a news conference for the release of the NC-1 Piece of Junk with a 1/2.33 Sensor.
Sony is going to make big waves with legitimate news of good products, Pentax will put people to sleep with its junk.
We have heard about the price point of the A77 but the price of the NEX7 is seldom mentioned. On top of that, the form factor, the features of the NEX7 is not discussed very often.
If NEX7 has a form factor like the NEX5, with internal EVF and flash, I think we should start talking about how much a used NEX5 is worth.
Don’t mind my NEX-5 being up-to-date a little longer before it becomes SONY’s very first E-Mount-Legend 😉
I think that maybe your source want to protect him self.
They don’t want to be recognize that who leak out it.
So until now to do this
garghhhhh……. andrea, you’re killing me! wait no moarrrrrr~!!!!
wtf is this site? lol –> http://sonygadget.com/
Is that the new test site Admin mentioned?
Who are those guys????
http://twitter.com/arrentan
Andrea – I agree. He shouldn’t copy your info and publish without your permission. I wonder how he would react if we published some of his information without his permission?
…. hmmmm ….
Let’s find out!
So, to answer your question, “Who are these guys?”… According to whois, he is:
Tan Keng Aik

arren_tka@hotmail.com
Does anyone have any photos of this person?
the super duper cloner. it’s obvious since andrea mentions “SAR” in his blog post, this guy has that too in copycat site. Sue him andrea =p
Search for “Sony Alpha Club Malaysia” on Facebook. Looks like your website exactly. Wish they would at least give you credit.
a35 is not marketed in Japan.
As they always release new DSLR/DSLT every year in Jpn, I am pretty sure a5x or a7x will be released this year
So, at worst case, we will still have a5x (probably a57) from
Sony this year.
Hahaha. I knew it. What does production problem have to do with *announcement* date?
Afterall the date 7/7 is special for A77. so Why would sony lose the promotional efforts of announcing the camera on that date just because the actual availability date is pushed forward a few months.
For the most part I believe most of the stories pushed by Sony soccer-mom/dad fanboys are just wishful thinking and that most of the “rumors” here that come true are just bits of inconsequential trivia sent in by Sony marketing and public relations in order to gin up excitement for a lackluster brand that has little credibility with the majority of serious photographers.
That is my opinion and I classify it SR5!
Why do you care and why are you here? Could it be insecurity regarding your current equipment choices?
You have a pretty nasty attitude, Nut.
Stop being a tosser PhotoNut.
“What does production problem have to do with *announcement* date?”
Sony has always tried to keep their announcements within a couple months of availability. Actually most companies tend to do that. They try to make sure there is one building wave of publicity, not two waves separated by months.
SONY Make.Believe!
It’s like a CULT in here!
Ahah i like very much of Sony but im getting a bit tired of this… im seriously thinking change to canon =(
@PhotoNut
let me guess, you take pictures of your kids, your pet dog and maybe a dragonfly or two and your amongst the “serious photographers” crowd. Am I right? There are TONS of professional photographers who earn a living shooting everyday for large campaigns and editorials and they are using Sony faithfully. The only cult is in the minds of those who make out brand loyalty to be more than what it is.
@ TypeZeiss
Please don’t take it personally mate 🙂
Everyone has his/her own viewpoint and we should respect that.
Like any other company, Sony is a profit oriented company and they make business decisions for their own good or whatever serves them better.
Likewise, every buyer has all the right to criticize any decision a company make as they are the one who is paying for that product and the ultimate users.
just as I have a right to poke fun a people who take pictures of their kids and insects for a hobby yet claim to be the “serious” crowd and the guys in the “know”. I find it comical to be honest.
Of course, leaning towards pro photographer elitism isn’t a good idea, either. There are plenty of immensely talented photographers in the world who for one reason or another don’t sell their work.
You must not follow Apple rumors then.
Carl,
I meant no disrespect to anyone, well accept PhotoNut, maybe?! If a person takes their hobby seriously, GREAT. But someone who eats from the fruits of their labor i.e. taking pictures, I think they are a bit more serious or should I said vested in a system than a hobbyist is, right?
I am puzzled as to why you are here? Shouldn’t you be out taking photographs?
“It’s like a CULT in here!”
And you are a jackass here. What are you doing here anyway? Go buy a brand that makes you happy.
Hey its IFRAN calling people names again, being a msg board bully! msg board bullies that wouldn’t say shit if they were in front of you.
and your one of us?!
Ok, so you mentioned NEX-7 in the title but, no info about it?
Im a huge Sony fan, but, this is rediculous. This thing is never gonna come out. If it ever does, it better be better than anything Canikon has right now. With or without the tsunami, the delays have been unbelievable
I just hope this comes out sooner than later, and they can actually deliver what they promised
Perhaps you should go to Japan and your opinion might change about the devastation to Japan’s industry and its population. You need to get things into perspective, just because it isn’t on your TVs news, does not mean the problems have gone away for Japan.
Just came back at home and saw that there are already 71 comments. But I have a dinner out tonight and will be back at midnight (london time). After that I will answer your comments.
I just checked my mails and found new messages from my sources. They all do confirm that Sony will announce ALL the new stuff in August. I can count at least four new cameras and three new lenses (+ new accessories).
But what’s more improtant is that tomorrow you will finally see the world’s first picture of the final A77 camera. It proves that I am not talking bullshit 😉
See you soon!
Roger that..! haha..
It’s going to be a shame that the performance and quality of the a77 is lower than current Canon and Nikon offerings..So Better for Sony to deliver the best ever product they have mass produced, specially for a long awaited camera since a700
So the new NEX is also delayed… what a crap. They could do what Canon does ocassionally: Make an announcement but warrant that the delivery will begin in next year (!!! lol Canon – latest sample of this behavior from them: end of 2010 lenses “announcement”)
To Sony A77,
Don’t think that i dont sympathize with the people that the tsunami has affected. Not just japan, but across the pacific.
But, looking at the big picture, i am just amazed that Sony has taken so long to get this camera going. By the time it comes out, i am assuming there might be another shift in camera technology. The last time the camera was supposed to come out, video was already coming out in full force by all the other manufacturers. Sony went back to the drawing board to keep up.
I just think they need to try harder to appease their fan base. This is something that people have wanted for years now, and it seems everytime we are about to hear some good news, its one more delay. I just hope we are still using cameras and not telepathy by the time it comes out. lol
It is REALLY key that the EVF and pelicle are waaay better than a55. I keep hearing that it will be. Crossing my fingers for luck…
OT: Is someone moderating 43rumors? My comments are “awaiting moderation”
Did you post a link?
It’s happened to me a few times.
Yes, It was hanging in outer space for like 1 hour:] But finally appeared. Is anyone moderating/deleting comments?
HA HA HA Sonolta rules!
A700 successor = NEVERENDING STORY.
On some level there has not been a Nikon D300 successor yet, a rather similar neverending story?
Yes, it got video with the ‘s’ update (in that sense the A700 is certainly ‘old’, as is the Nikon D700 and D3x as both have no video). And in a sense the Nikon D7000 is also sort of a D300 successor (not in all respects but in a lot).
Don’t be mad about that, i have 3 minoltas and 1 sony (plus lenses) and i really like the brand, but this constant news of a new camera that never comes its kind of demotivating. In the last few months they have released tones of new models and i am preparing to change my amble A200 into something very much better. but i would like to have something close to the A77 or even this model. Now tell me, is it worth to wait again for some real news? I hope i dont change for Canikon but like i once read here i think i bet in the wrong system =/
Cheers from Portugal (the European poors! ahahah) sorry for bad English
not much longer for the announcement now, and no longer to wait for the camera to be in the shops; the plan all along was to get it into the shops by early October, and that is still the plan
from what I am hearing, the A77 is well worth the wait
I used the Sony A100 & A700 for years, and loved them. Unfortunately, because of so many delays with their mide-range line, I left for Nikon. I loved the Sony/Zeiss lenses, and menu design of the camera, but it is almost 4 years since the A700 and still no camera. i feel bad for those Sony users who are still waiting, I know it is tough, I hope it is worth the wait.
Why show a picture but not the actual camera?
I also get a bit (or more) sick of the waiting.
They should know by now lots of people are waiting for the specs. Some minor production are not that important. Unless of course they are not minor.
I postponed switching to Nikon, but will not wait that long anymore.
The camera to amaze me is one that is actually built and available not a possible future one in someone’s mind.
Oh… Production delays from tsunami and earthquake caused the much predicted 7/7 announcement to be delayed but Sony had no problem announcing and shipping out new A35 and NEX C35 cameras?
Come on… Who are you all fooling besides yourselves? Sony does not care about advanced users or models. All they really care about is recycling low/medium end bodies for the low-end, first-timer consumer/soccer-mom and soccer-dads. They are not in the same serious league anymore as Canon or Nikon and they themselves have decided that they can’t produce a camera better than the best that Nikon and Canon can. So they give up.
If there was ever a 7/7 announcement, then it means that Sony must have told the media and others in order for SAR to be able to say that the announcement was “delayed”. If they told the media and others (distributors,dealers etc…) then they too would now have said something …. but no, all crickets. Nobody reported that Sony delayed anything even though it was just two weeks to this expected fabled announcement.
But if there was never any product or announcement for 7/7 for A77 then all that has happened is that the goalpost has been moved with a very good sleight of hand — like a magician. Kudos!
After all, you (and I, I guess) all come here everyday to read about this mythical A77 announcement and if you were told that there was not going to be launch or no information is known about A77 launch date, we would not be coming here every day, right?
So let me give you a prediction: There will *NOT* be a Sony A77 available to buy this summer or fall. Forget about it! Neither will there be an advanced NEX7 camera either.
Probably, come Winter 2011, you all will still be waiting for a mythical super DSLR called A77 which will not be delivered!
I repeat, by this Winter 2011, there will not be a single SONY APS-C camera that will match the features, performance and usability of the Canon 7D, Nikon D7000 or their replacements. And if there was something released with A77 name with such competitive features it will not be at or under $1,000 as promised.
SONY: Make.Believing since 2008
Nut, you don’t know everything – have a read about what manufacturer is providing the BEST VALUE in cameras. Also, I recall that the A55 was Popular Photography’s camera of the year (link below), not the units you are promoting. So, realize that you have an opinion, and have a right to it, and also have a right to be wrong.
http://www.luminous-landscape.com/essays/quality-vs-value.shtml
Nut, you speak faster than Sony that’s why, so you better shut-up. By the way whatever you say and write here (I don’t care!), you CAN’T change our mind. 😀
canon recycle 7D sensor since when? lmao
nikon has been recycling sony sensor. opps.
u are an idiot. cheers
Admin, is there any way at all you can see if the sources know anything about manual control of video with this camera. It is pretty much the only reason I am holding on to my money right now. The A33/A55 is a great sports video camera, but doesn’t give you enough control. There is no reason not to with even Canon’s Rebel offering 24p and full manual control. This will be my deal breaker.
Thanks so much for the awesome website. I visit it daily.
Keep in mind that Japan’s a forever contaminated land – they’ve got kids bleeding out all their orifices both hundreds of miles north and south of Fukushima, vehicle air cleaners are being found to be radioactive in Seattle (see fairewinds.com) – there’s reports of statistically significant 35% spike of infant mortality in the Western United States, so whining and crying about Japanese cameras is a little off when considering the depth of the issues they’re having there – their kids are dying of radiation poisoning and there aren’t enough of them – so better start thinking of where your next camera’s going to come from – and better buy a geiger counter so anything you do buy that is made in Japan can be checked for radioactive particles. Plan to never, never visit Japan if you haven’t and plan to never, never go back if you have. They’ll be relegated to the toxic islands of toxic people for the next few centuries.
@Matt is that true are you just being a bit overly dramatic? I hope its the overly dramatic option because if that is true that is beyond terrible 🙁
Don’t forget your tinfoil hat.
Perhaps a little overstating, but:

Background radiation in Tokyo is about 70% up from normal, and the south of the country is barely registering an increase.
If you’re that worried about radiation, I’d hope you don’t smoke, will refuse medical X-rays, and never fly anywhere in a plane, as all of these will give you significantly more millisieverts.
What happened at the reactors is a horrible case of corporate indifference and government negligence leading to undue suffering, but hardly compares to the twenty thousand people killed by the tsunami.
I have idea what made you so cynical and sarcastic, so much of a hater of Sony, Mr. Nut, but I believe that you will find that the A77 (and several other cameras) will be announced in August, probably late August, will be in some shops at least by the end of September, and will surpass what it is currently expected to be. I hope you will love the camera & change your tune, because apparently you are still hanging around, hoping, like most others.
im taking a guess with what you said admin :)at least four new cameras? NEX 5 replacement, NEX 7, a55 replacement and a77 but that was easy. at least three new lenses i have no idea lol but i hope one of them is a wide angle lens.
For the people in Sydney, Australia.. The time for the a77 picture is 9:00pm.. thats just if I used the world clock correctly lol 😛
Sweet, another Sydneysider waiting for the A77 🙂
Do you guys think that there will be shortage of A77 like fuji x100? 🙂 it is now 22nd in london, can’t wait to see the non-transparent shell A77 exterior photo:)
Definitely a shortage.
Good thing I went full frame or else I would be chasing windmills with the rest of the crop guys…
I’ve always been pleased that it’s not too hard to catch a windmill. They just stand there.
I am dying to see the NEX-7, a camera that potentially be the ‘ONE’ for me~ Any possible image of it?
Is Sony going to replace the 58AM flash soon Andrea?
Why should they?
drooling…
@ Photonut :
Hey nuts, WTF are you doin here anyway ! Go da F$*&K back to your Canikon camp.
We decide what we wanna shoot with, not you.
I’m tired of people whining how Canikon are better!
Yeah right, Sony’s color and dynamic range! Beat that!
It would be helpful if you could post a spec sheet on any specs you might have on the A77 Like was a CF card slot SR5 or SR4 etc. Incase the photo does not tell us such things. Thanks for the rumors
The delay doesn’t seem so bad. It’s actual availability will be late September which is about what I was expecting anyway.
Are we still doing the count down? I am from Australia, so this makes a midnight thingy.
I am still wondering if the admin means 12 noon GMT or 12 noon London Time which is GMT +1 !!
12:00 London time!
Hey, can you share a picture of your web analytics of today 12PM? Should be quite a peak 😉
Can’t wait to see the pic of A77!!!~~ Mark: 17:40 in China.
so how about the 16-50 f2.8??
i am waiting for it or i will go for 16-80za!!
i’m curious about the little surprise 🙂
Delayed…. Delayed…. How many more delay? I’m not gonna wait for another day, it reached my max patient for this long waiting, and tomorrow I will buy my Nikon, which more kept up to their promises. I’m so sorry Sony!
Sir, what are you going to buy, D7000? What’s lastest price in HK$?
D7000 body is about HK$9k.
about the nex series , do you have any clue if nex 7 will replace nex 5 and is it worthe the wait m or shall i just pre order the nex 3 .
