3 years ago |Although I was looking forward to the Sony NEX, I’m getting a bit worried now:
“The alpha lens adaptor with AF for SSM/SAM lens.”
What does this mean re my non-SSM/SAM lenses, ie. CZ 85/1.4 or CZ 135/1.8???

Hopefully there will be some early previews available shortly after announcement.
Good it’s only few more hours to go
There should have made countdown web page for those of us that can’t wait

3 years ago |How come that both these rumors and the spec list from a few days ago got an SR 5 rating, when they cannot be correct at the same time (touchscreen, 25 AF points)?
simon
3 years ago |Re: AF with non SSM/SAM lenses
Its very very (very) unlikely that these cameras will have AF in the body.
Hence why its pretty obvious that there will be no AF with older or non SSM/SAM/HSM lenses
Will
3 years ago |Is that mention of “touchscreen” confirmed?
heyheyhey
3 years ago |If its unlikely that there will be an AF screw mount in the body, couldn’t they technically make an adapter for non SSM/SAM/HSM lenses? They would have to extend the contact connections on the adapter and have a screw motor on the adapter it self. Could this be posible? I hope so……

I agree, the Sony APS-C sensors are the best…
“The LCD touch screen is brighter than the one form the Sony A550 (700 candela, antireflective screen)”
Maybe the same bright or a new LED display
“contrast AF with 25 AF points”
All is possible with contrast AF system
“7fps”
Probably for the advanced model
“The alpha lens adaptor with AF for SSM/SAM lens.”
and the Minolta SSM too…

3 years ago |This is why we don’t have an a7XX – so that Sony can focus on these glorified Point & Shoots?!?
Will
3 years ago |“these glorified Point & Shoots” are a revolution.
Eric
3 years ago |What exactly is the point of an a7XX? These “glorified P&S” should theoretically be able to do anything an APS-C DSLR can do all while being 1/3 as heavy. If you want a big/bulky camera buy an A850, at least then the sensor would be bigger too. As a former E-P1 owner I can tell you I’ll never buy an APS-C DSLR again. Do people really enjoy tiny APS-C view finders wrapped in a body twice as heavy as my old Pentax LX even though that Pentax has a viewfinder twice as large? Unless someone comes out with a digital full frame version of a Pentax LX, Canon AE-1, Olympus OM, Nikon FE, or Minolta XD then I am done with DSLR’s.

3 years ago |I love my A900, but these “glorified Point & Shoots” are exactly what I’m looking for when going to a small setup.
Miroslav
3 years ago |If noise is lower than on E-PL1, than these cameras might have a usable ISO 1600. Although, Sony noise reduction is too aggressive on some cameras.
I hope that LCD screen has touch focus.
Good news concerning AF on older lenses, but leaving them without IS reduces their usability in low light.
Din
3 years ago |Miroslav, have you seen the a500/a550 image quality?
