As I told you a couple of days ago Sony UK marked the 16mm pancake NEX lens as “previous model”. And now you can have the lens with an impressive $100 price drop on [shoplink 13807 ebay]Big Value on eBay (Click here)[/shoplink]. But I have to admit that I haven’t heard of any possible new version of the lens. Doesn’t mean that it is not coming…

More deals: There is also a $100 discount on the NEX-7 at [shoplink 13808 ebay]Arphoto[/shoplink] and a $50 discount on Amazon. And don’t forget that twelve Zeiss for NEX are finally in Stock for the normal price via Samys on Amazon (Click here).

USA readers are struggling to find the Zeiss 24mm f/1.8 for NEX in Stock. The good news is that today fourteen lenses are in Stock for the normal price via Samys at Amazon (Click here).

The other news is that Fuji announced the X-E1 which features the Sony 2,36k dot OLED viewfinder (Click here to see the X-E1 at Amazon). While Dpreview wrote that this is “likely the same NEX-7 viewfinder” this may not be truth. The NEX-7 viewfinder has a contrast ratio of 3500:1 (Source: Digitalrev) while the Fuji X-E1 viewfinder has a higher contrast ratio of 5000:1 (Source: Cnet). This would mean that the X-E1 uses the same viewfinder of the upcoming NEX-6 and A99 cameras!
Anyway, to learn mroe about the Fuji viewfinder check FujiRumors where you can get a full roundup. We will have to wait six days only to have our own showdown!

It even didn’t start to ship yet that Sony discounted the price of the NEX-EA50UH Camcorder with 18-200mm from $4200 to $3,599 at BHphoto (Click here).

A deal reminder: $100 discount on SLT cameras at Amazon (Click here).

In one year I never saw any price drop on the NEX-7. And now there is that huge $370 price drop via BigValue on [shoplink 13670 ebay]eBay US (Click here)[/shoplink]. The normal price would be $1199 (here at Amazon). It’s available in limited quantity only. There is no such huge deal in Europe. the cheapest price I found is at [shoplink 13673 ebay]Pixmania eBay (Click here)[/shoplink].

Also today the NEX-5R didn’t manage to get significant preorders at Amazon (here is the ranking). My guess is that most of us are waiting for the new NEX-6 which features a 2,4k integrated viewfinder and for the rest the exactly same specs as the new NEX-5R.
