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].

Almost exactly one year ago Sony launched the high quality [shoplink 8450]Zeiss 24mm f/1.8[/shoplink] E-mount lens. And at least in US that lens is still hard to find in Stock (and for the normal price!). You can now get a couple of them with Filter and Cleaner kit via [shoplink 13655 ebay]Beachcamera eBay (Click here)[/shoplink]. There is no way to get it for less. Right now the price is $1249 at Amazon (Click here).
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.
Don’t know how reliable that info is but the largest worldwide online store Amazon just notified that the NEX-5R will start to be shipped from October 21th (Click here ot visit the product page). Anyway, not many of us seems to have ordered the new camera as it didn’t even manage to reach the top hundred of the mirrorless camera (pre)order ranking (Click here). I guess most of us are waiting for the September 12th announcement when Sony will unveil the NEX-6!
The “older” NEX-5N is many times more sold than the newer NEX-5R because of the $100 discount at Amazon (Click here) and BHphoto(Click here).
There are many new videos about the NEX-5R. here are some youtube links:
Official Sony ad, The Sony blog presentation, First look at Cnet, First look at Henrys, Hands-on at Digitalcameraworld, German hands-on at Chip.de.

Important personal note: The next months I will create a lot of new features around my parallell AlphaCameraDeals.com website. The idea is to separate Deals news from SonyAlphaRumors. For now I will list all preorder options ont his website (like for the NEX-5R) If you are interested in getting detailed and localized Sony deals info subscribe the RSS feed and join the Facebook page. Thanks!

Many here on SAR own the superb RX100 camera. If you need a filter adapter for the camera check out the pictures and aluminium solution posted by the [shoplink 13486 ebay]German Photo design (Click here)[/shoplink]. Very smart!
And right now there is a Gold Box Deal on the Sony NEX-5n launched by Amazon itself (Click here). UPDATE: Same deal on BHphoto too (Click here).
Three days only before the new Sony NEX-5R announcement and multiple stores are now selling the NEX-5N with a nice $100 discount at Amazon (Click here). Same price drop on the Body only (Click here) and on the Silver kit (Click here).
The NEX-5R will very likely be priced at $699 (with kit lens) and compared to the current NEX-5N it will have a faster AF, Wifi and APP support. Coming on Wednesday. The NEX-6 will be announced in September while I don’t know when Sony will announce the new NEX lenses.
P.S.: Amazon camera ranking here.
