You still have to pay a $50 extra but at leats you can finally see the 50mm f/1.8 for NEX in Stock again at Amazon (Click here) and Cameta (Click here). And the NEX-7 is also in Stock as body only or kit at Amazon (Click here).
It’s so hard to find the 50mm for NEX in US stores that this might be a good deal even if you have to pay a $50 extra for it! Pcnation is right now selling 13 of them through Amazon (Click here). If you still want it for $299 than you will have to wait 4-7 weeks (according to Amazon).
Meantime the A57 is in Stock at Amazon (Click here), Adorama (Click here), BHphoto (Click here) and [shoplink 12322 ebay]Sonystore ebay (Click here)[/shoplink]. But Sony Japan keeps saying that it has been delayed and release date is April 27th ?!?!?!
The new Sony A57 is right now in Stock at Amazon (Click here to grab it) and is the most sold Sony DSLR camera of the moment (here is the ranking). And both, the NEX-7 body only (Click here) and the NEX-7 witk kit lens (Click here) are also in Stock. And that is also the camera that makes it into the top 20 of all sold digital cameras, compact, mirrorless and DSLR.
P.S.: New Sony cameras will be announced soon. I am working to find out the right announcement date!
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).

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).
