This is never going to end! There is a new set of leaked images found via DChome! The most interesting image is the new NEX-7 reander (it doesn’t look like a real NEX-7 image). Below you can find the A77 picture. Click on them to enlarge the image!
P.S.: Meanwhile the german website that yesterday posted those nice A77 image had to remove the images from his website.

The first image has no EVF π
It is Nex 7 without EVF
or
it is Nex5N with double wheel? π
I guess it is just to illustrate how the user interface for the wheels will appear..
It looks more like new NEX-5N and it’s new touchscreen interface(which shows how good TS interface can replace two dials, according to this picture).
If that’s a NEX-7, then where’s the EVF and hotshoe?
Shouldn’t that be the Nex-5N? no EVF?
The new EVF screenshot has a shutter speed of 1/8000, so I guess that’s confirmed.
Awesome!
Surely that’s the NEX-5N, not a 7?
Surely thatβs the interface demonstration, not a camera picture.
You’re the best, Andrea.
The NEX image is clearly a render. Apparently they thought about, and decided against, adding control wheels to the NEX-5N since the actual photographs that have been posted of it do not have them.
its a modified image of nex 5, looks no more than that.
This invalidates the older NEX-7 images – no EVF, no hotshoe…
the NEX-5 size is welcome but …
On the other side NEX-5N with two dials ….no it is not. At least the remainder leaks had no top dials.
Consider the icons…is this a TV set – saturation, sharpness and contrast…weird….may be this is how the custom modes will work….ok this makes some sense – one wheel selects art mode, back wheel goes through the options – contrast, saturation, sharpness…yet third wheel changes the value. Starts to sound scary
This just looks like a proof of concept rendering for how the dials will work. I’d ignore the body shape.
Makes sense. The highlighting of the dials and the poor quality of the render suggests that the dials themselves are the real subject here.
It doesn’t invalidate anything. This is a render of the old NEX-5 body (the NEX-5N has different surface details, such as the top plate being a separate piece) with some graphics added to illustrate… not sure what tbh.
*sigh* I always do this… the comment was meant as a reply to Kiril.
Andrea dit you not see it s the back of a nex 5 ??
It is a NEX-5 or NEX-5N but showing how NEX-7 will work with extra functions with the two buttons on the top of the camera.
Just a word on the german site: he didn’t had to remove the pictures due a mail from Sony. He writes that he asked them first for some pictures for his blog, got(!) some pictures an published them. Due the turbulences those pictures made he decided to remove them until the situation is clearified 100% that he can publish those (official) pictures…
Thanks Zunder! Will update the post!
Is this realy 1:1 evf comparaison between a55 And A77 ???
A77’s EVF appears to be larger in the photo. It was said to be 0.9″ (~23 mm) wasn’t it?
What’s the size of the A55 EVF? Could not find it.
100% coverage / 0.95x magnification
Which gives?
A55 has 1.12x magnification…
Should be the 1:1 comparison. Otherwise, there’s no point comparing the two. Looks like a77 will be a great tool. EVF seems bigger and much improved with all the settings moved to the bottom and upper strips of the screen – very welcome upgrade.

When this is true, what will be the A77’s EVF magnification factor? 1.2x or something? A55’s EVF has 0.95x magnification factor.
From the photographs, the coverage seems to be equal: 100%.
Than…
It will be the biggest EVF, OVF ever π
magnification / sensor mag. fact.
A77 = ??
A900 = 0.74
A55 = 0.73
A700 = 0.60
A580 = 0.53
I’m really not familiar with these things, but I think we have to take the 1.5x focal-length factor for APS-C sensors in account?
So, then it will be 0.95/1.5 = 0.64x (A55) and 1.2/1.5 = 0.80x (A77).
The value of 1.2 for the A77 is very uncertain, is just estimated by me.
And this calculated A55 value doesn’t correspond to above value of 0.73.
A700 indeed is 0.90/1.5 = 0.60 (checked my manual).
When true, it is great! π
Don’t rely on the marketing rendering for measurements, they are exaggerated for marketing needs
+/- 5 exposure compensation on the a77 screen.
+1
Yes, and it’s certainly not the case in the bottom EVF screen, which only shows +/- 3 EV.
Wierd! …Something doesn’t add up right about these pictures.
nicely spotted.. hope its the +/-5 stops
That thunder bolt is for the pc connection. There might be another port under that cover
I have a concern. I don’t see how the LCD can swing to the side of the camera. It looks likes it’s definitely in the middle and it can swivel a bit from that center pivot. It’s a little disappointing.
Thankfully only 2 more days until all is answered.
From what I see it is mix between nex5 and a55:
From Nex:5 top – down (which is really great mechanism)
From A55: center pivot to rotate 180deg. (great to protect the screen)
Perhaps if you need to have self shot:
top with nex5 mechanism then 180 rotation with A55 mechansim
Screen mechanism certainly looks different to earlier leaked shots of A77 and A65 if this is showing the maximum range of movement.
yeah your right, the hinges are different. i guess the first leaked pics were the pre production cameras, the ones we see now are the final production. as far as i can see with the a65 in dpreview post, the reverted back to the a55 style lcd movement..

nice finding!
Bart: your calculations are correct…
But seems that a55 is already 1.1 instead of 0.95 (from sony website)
Thx! Even better then.
Looking at the leaked picture again, it seems the A77 EVF picture is enlarged. The frame of the A77 EVF is thicker too. Not sure though. Is it fake, or not?
Can anyone please explain exactly how the A77 LCD screen tilt/swivel mechanism works? I just don’t get it. Can it be rotated so the LCD side folds flat against the camera body? What exactly is the range of motion??
About NEX7, does it have a fold out screen or is it fixed?? Come on, these are things that should have been cleared up weeks ago!
The a77 evf gives me blurry eyes and starting headache (it ‘s very unsharp in the picture). Hope this is due to bad resizing of all the pixels.
The image comparing the two EVF viewfinders is a fake.
That is, even if it did come from Sony, it’s not a real comparison between two viewfinders. There was only one photograph taken originally with a NEX5 last year. Somebody, (perhaps Sony marketing), reprocessed that image, and photoshopped it into the A77 and A55 viewfinder graphics. It was probably developed to show the concept v. to show an exact comparison between EVFs.
So, the image that is slightly over-saturated is still from a NEX5, just “re-imagined” to fit into the A77 viewfinder and the A55 viewfinder.
Sony a77 size comparison with Nikon D300, D7000 and Canon EOS 7D all matched up perfectly with their screen sizes π

The A77 is much bigger than youd think!
Spot the typo!
By the way I was the one with the A77 EXIF info picture, if you happened to see it on my photostream π
Rob,
I really appreciate the comparison.
On a separate note, why do you need some many tags for your images? – You are a good photographer. However, all those tags make me think you don’t believe in your ability and that you need to resort to tricks to drive people to your site.
The tags barely work lol, I maybe get one hit a week from those tag searches, Im just trying to get as big an audience to my photos as I can with the resources Ive got, mostly trying to avoid dumping photos in the *post one comment x* groups, because comments from those are so meaningless, even if it is sort of tricking people to look at my photos with the tags, if they comment I nearly always comment back on one of their photos π
I must have missed it, but why haven’t we heard anything about the 500mm?
I hope the production NEX-7 is like that. Personally, I can do without the EVF and hot shoe if it means that it will be smaller.
Then get a Nex-5N? No hot shoe would be a deal killer for me.
I might do but would prefer the new sensor if it’s better and the knobs. Don’t see the point in sticking all that extra stuff on it with the extra size. Might as well just get an A77. The socket is a good as a hotshoe if they make decent accessories for it.
As imagens da A77 com a lente 16-50 2.8 tem um design maravilhoro, lindo, esperamos que tenha uma grande performance nas imagens noturnas com “alto iso”. A muito tempo estamos esperando um grande lanΓ§amento da Sony e agora estΓ‘ chegando!!!.
2 MORE DAYS!!! SO EXCITED!
Thanks Andrea.
Two more days to DDay…can’t wait!
1 more day … already 23 Aug here.
Previous Sony announcement started appearing all over the net at about noon Japan time I think.
Yes, 1 more day left only.
It is 12:45, 23Aug in Tokyo now. π

LOL!!!!!
eleven days?
Olala, just can’t wait.
So much thoughts, so much comparisons.
I wonder how many reviews would be posted tomorrow.
I’m hoping dpreview will have a hands-on previews for the a77 and NEX-7 at least.
