While we are all anxiously waiting for the [shoplink 8454]NEX-7[/shoplink] reviewers keep torturing us with excellent reviews and hands-on. And now we even have the very first unboxing video. So… enjoy and suffer! :=)
And Digitalcamerareview (Click here) posted a new NEX-7 review. And of course it got an Editor’s choice award! And Peter Sills (Click here) traveled for six days to Cuba with the NEX-7 and enjoyed the camera lot: “I am now totally convinced that the future of digital photography will incorporate high-quality EVF in almost all cameras“.
The NEX-7 is hardly available for preorder yet: [shopcountry 8454]
P.S.: You can win a new NEX-5n at Pocket-Lint (Click here).

This is not the actual product. Once again we’re seeing a review copy unboxing and Sony said already that the real product won’t ship in that same box. You can see that it’s a review copy because it says not for sale or lease on the bottom of the mount ring.
Nice catch
Of course it is a prototype. No detective work required, they say so on the web site from where the video was taken.

I would expect that the final product comes with software and some manuals in the box, and that the camera end lens are in nice plastic bags with silica gel. 😛
I just got an email from Amazon, my Zeiss 24 1.8 is expected to arrive on Dec 15, 2011
always trying to pull one over on us…
Just received a tracking # for my 24mm f1.8….yeah!!!
In which country???
Me too !!!
ditto… if only i had a nex-7 to match 🙁
anyone else find that the fact they now have 77 videos funny?? lol
made in thailand? china? japan?
Most likely, it will be made in thailand. I am hopping for Sony Full Frame to be made in Japan.
Wow. The box look awesome!
When my NEX-7 comes, I’ll literally unbox the box into two with sheer power.
Enlighten me… why is the trend of doing those “unboxing videos” spreading like influenza? It’s worse than pornography, a totally useless thing to do. 🙂
I think mostly there for the people who worship/obsess over gear rather than the skills to use them correctly. This goes for just about any type of gear in any type of profession/hobby.
i am ordered since oct, i guess soon on feb, time to cancel on it 😀 lol…
Here in Greece, one of the Sony dealers has had the new Zeiss 24/1.8 in their window along with their NEX-3 and 5n’s for about 3 weeks…
No mention of the mic plugin. Where is it?
Are you blind Bob? It’s right there next to the HDMI and USB ports…
The thing that gets me with all of the reviews/trials I have seen on the NEX 7, not single person has worked with off-camera flash. Sony, send me my Nex 7 so I can do a review of using this camera as a studio workhorse.
Anyone else out there interested in using this camera to sculpt light?
That would be me 🙂
Im also interessted in Wireless flash and of Camera Flash in Studio use!
– wireless flash (with the sony hlv flashes) is possible when using the hlv-20 as trigger.
– studio flash is easy with pc-sync adapter attached (sony makes one, ebay is full of them)
– wireless studio flash is easy with iISO to ISO and whatever your favorite system is connected to that. if it doesn’t support the iISO mount directly.
Just as with any a-mount alpha, beside all can fire sonys hlv flashes with built in flash. the nex-7 cannot.
kind of lame to say 1st un-boxing video when it is a division of Sony that is doing the un-boxing , no real news no info…
