Cinematicz used the NEX-7 to shoot that commercial! What’s really interesting is to read his story about how it was to work with the NEX-7: http://vimeo.com/40049385. !
P.S.: Whenever Amazon has the NEX-7 in Stock it gets sold out after a few hours. So if you need a NEX-7 grab it now:
NEX-7 body only (Click here).
NEX-7 with 18-55mm kit lens (Click here).
More NEX-7 in Stock status links: [shopcountry 8454].
The high request of the lens (or the low production capability of Sony) are making the 50mm almost impossible to find in US stores. According to Amazon (Click here) this lens will ship within 4-7 weeks only. As long as I see this kind of problems I remain worried that Sony may has to push forward some other new NEX lens announcement. I hope I am wrong…

UPDATE: The NEX-7 body and the kit version is back in Stock and sold by Amazon itself (Click here).
A couple of NEX-7 cameras are right now in Stock at Amazon (Click here). And every time it is in Stock it quickly jumps on position one of the mirrorless sales ranking.
And Cameralabs (Click here) made a short NEX-7 versus Canon markIII image comparison: “Ultimately I’d call their real-life resolving power at 100 ISO as being essentially the same, and while that may not come as a huge surprise given their similar sensor resolutions, it remains a great result for the NEX-7 considering its considerably lower price tag – not to mention its considerably smaller body too.” Surprised?
After one month the Nikon D800 got dethroned from the most sold digital camera ranking at Amazon (Click here). And surprise…the merit goes to the Sony HX9V :)
But now let’s talk about lenses. While Sony increased the prices of their Alpha mount lenses Sigma now started a new price drop on three lenses. You can check the list and deals at BHphoto (Click here). And there is also a new $100 off on A77/65 and lens bundle options at Amazon (Click here).
P.S.: SLR Magic Bokehmorphic test at ThePhoBlographer (Click here).
Both the NEX-7 body and NEX-7 kit are now in Stock and sold by Amazon itself (Click here). And if you are willing to pay a $100 bucks extra than you can find the 50mm for NEX too (Click here).
New NEX-7 review:
Not that we really need to see any more review anymore as we already know the NEX-7 (many) strengths and (few) flaws. But Digitalcamerainfo (Click here) posted such a detailed test with over 25 pages(!) we absolutely have to reward them with a big link to their website :)

While the Sony sensor powered Nikon D800 is undoubtedly the king of the DSLR sales (Click here), the NEX-7 is the most sold mirrorless camera every time it gets back in Stock at Amazon (Click here to grab it now). And even when it comes to the overall camera sales Sony is on the top list with the….HX9V! I guess Sony is doing a great business right now with their digital camera and sensor sales! Let’s hope this will push them to make more products!
Meantime Mike Kobal (Click here) reviewed the new Sigma 30mm lens on his NEX-7 camera. As you know during the last days we posted many reviews from Photozone where we saw that the NEX-7 requires high quality optics to get out the best from the 24 Megapixel sensor. The image samples shown by Mike are actually looking surprisingly good for a lens that costs $199 only at BH (Click here)! Mike writes: “I never expected this little lens to perform at such a high level-reason enough for this quick test.”
A couple of days before the final NEX-FS700 announcement Luminus Landscape (Click here) posted the review of the current NEX-FS100 camera: “There’s little doubt in my mind that it is currently the best value in a Super 35mm video camcorder and very competitive with cameras costing 2–3 times as much in terms of image quality.“
Hurry! Five NEX-7 kits are in Stock and shipping by Amazon itself (Click here). More NEX-7 search links here: [shopcountry 8454].
UPDATE: After 7 minutes only all five cameras were sold out :(
