Amazon is now accepting preorders of the new HX100v (Click here) and HX9v (Click here). I tried to find some videos that do show how well the new 1080p60 recording works and how fast the new AF is. If you find some please drop me a line!
P.S.: Today I am a little bit late with news because I had to work the whole night. I will read all your A77 comments and answer your questions.

We had to wait a very long time before to see the Sony A55 back in Stock in US stores. That’s good nes for Sony because it means they are selling more of those translucent cameras than they expected. You can buy the A55 right now at:
– BHphoto (Click here)
– Amazon (Click here)
European stores do it have in Stock since a very long time:
Amazon DE
The Sony A55 is out of Stock since a long time (at least in US). So teh fact that Amazon has it in Stock right now might be a useful news for our US readers ;)

In October 2010 Aquatica announced the new [shoplink 4815]Sony-NEX-5 underwater housing[/shoplink]. The housing shell is anodized and powder coated to a smooth finish that will resist years of extensive use, all controls are double sealed in order to face the 300ft/90 meter depth rating assign to this housing, every shaft and push button is manufactured to a mirror smooth surface and is made of the finest grade stainless steel. Given the absence of a regular view finder our design staff integrated a 15 degree of angle to the rear LCD screen; this was done to give the user a much more comfortable position for viewing in diving conditions. To accommodate the Sony Nex-5 lenses a series of compact port were designed for its range of optics as well as an adapter that will allow the mounting of our current line of ports, this will be appreciated in light of the extended range lenses now available via the various camera mount adapters available for this already popular camera.

I learned that eBay member “[shoplink 4783]jieying-usa[/shoplink]” is modifying the mounts of third-party lenses in order to fit on Sony NEX cameras without any need for adapters. Every month he posts strange unknown and sometimes really curious items. You might want to check out the list of lenses he is offering. An example? He made the [shoplink 4575]Kowa 55mm f/1.0 with E-mount you can find on eBay[/shoplink] and the Kodak Ektar 44mm f/3.5 (pictured above).
