The luxury leather case producer Gariz announced a new case for the NEX-5r. You can buy it (and see more pics) on their [shoplink 15853 ebay]eBay store (Click here)[/shoplink]. There is also a [shoplink 15887 ebay]Light Brown (Click here)[/shoplink] and [shoplink 15888 ebay]Brown (Click here)[/shoplink] version. Gariz has also some other little leather accesories for the NEX-5r like lens cap and bags (look here via Slidoo eBay).
UDPATE: Gariz also released three different NEX-6 case: [shoplink 15882 ebay]Brown (Click here)[/shoplink], [shoplink 15884 ebay]Black (Click here)[/shoplink] and [shoplink 15883 ebay]AllBlack (Click here)[/shoplink]. (full list at Slidoo).
P.S.: USA refurbished deal:
Rokinon (via Slidoo eBay).
For the first time the RX1 is (now was!) listed as in Stock at Amazon US (via third party reseller). There is only one in Stock and I guess the deal will last for a couple of minutes only :( A couple of more cameras can be found on eBay (via Slidoo). But mostly overpriced.
Our Australian readers are also getting their RX1 cameras and they shared two impression reviews at Calebluke and Nexusers. Eleven user reviews can be read at Amazon US.
And if you need a battery be aware that you find some cheap third party alternative on [shoplink 15857 ebay]eBay[/shoplink] (let me know how they work!).
Click these links to check price and in Stock status: Amazon, Adorama, BHphoto, Wex UK ,Wex Germany, Sonystore DE–UK–FR–IT–ES–NL–SE–FI–CH and more links at Alphacameradeals. Save $170 by simply purchasing the $7 cheap chinese metal hood ([shoplink 15410 ebay]there is one here on eBay[/shoplink]) instead of the original expensive Sony hood.
The current Sigma 30mm f/1.4 EX DC got a $140 rebate at BHphoto (Click here). And there are still some ongoing Sigma and NEX deals at Amazon (Check that deals overview page).
And the wrong Sony RX1 in Stock status info at Adorama (Click here) now got fixed. They now marked the product as “Available for pre-order – Shipping; in Limited Quantity“. Helene from Adorama was kind enough ot post a comment on SAR:
“We DID receive a delivery; our automated inventory system would have shown them in stock when they were unloaded and scanned into our system. However, as we had more back-orders than units delivered, there are back-orders still to be filled when we get our next delivery. Unfortunately, we don’t yet have an ETA from the manufacturer.

Both write that there are no import taxes to pay.

UPDATE: because of an error the website RX1 cameras was supposed to be in Stock at Adorama! So false alarm. I hope Adorama will get put back the “Not in Stock” info.
By the way, some third party batteries for the RX1 are now on auction on eBay (via Slidoo).
