The image on top shows the “Hybrid OEVFD” functionality

What the hell! The new Sony A77 will have a ultraspeedy Quadbionz core that will allow a 23 fps at full 24 Megapixel resolution. It also can take FullHD videos while you are taking photos or chatting via skype on the 4.2 inch OLED touchscreen of the cameras. But the really best new feature is the “Hybrid OEVFD” which stands for Hybrid Optical Elctronic View Finder Dream. It’s a much further development of the [shoplink 6075 ebay]Fuji X100[/shoplink] technology. It allows you to see the real optical image, the electronic image or any youtube video you want!

Damn is that a good DAYYY! :)

I still don’t have a 100% reliable confirmation from my sources but it sounds like the NEX-7 could be announced within the next few months. A new source told me that it will be announced around the same time of the A77 (July). It will feature the same A77 sensors (very likely 24 Megapixels). The big question is if it has a built-in viewfinder. The trusted sources didn’t tell me anything about that but they said the NEX-7 will not be a [shoplink 3003]NEX-3/5[/shoplink] successor, it will be a complete new NEX model. But there is one thing you have to keep in mind. After the recent Japanese disaster roadmap could change within the next weeks. As soon as I receive some info about that I will post them on SAR.

One more thing: All sources do confirm a new NEX and SLT camera will be announced next week. If the rumors are true we should see new models on Monday or Tuesday. Don’t know the extract time yet (I hope some of you can tell me about it). Stay tuned on SAR!

It’s going to be hot here on SonyAlphaRumors. We will have many new products announcement right before the NAB show in Las Vegas (April 9). And now we learned that there will be even more Sony digital camera/lens announcements in May. And than we will have the A77+lens announcement in July. If you are planning a vacation and do not want to miss any official Sony announcement June is your only option ;)

A BIG question on my sources. Does the NEX-7 have built-in EVF or not? Let’s hope the answer is yes!

P.S.: I need a favour from one of our US readers. If some of you is planning to buy a product on Amazon today can you please use that link: Amazon.com and send me an email to tell me what you bought? I need to check if my affiliate links are really working because I am continually getting some kind of weird error message.

The picture on top shows the Pentax mirrorless system with very small sensor (1:2.33). The second system will have a Sony APS-C sensor.

As you know Pentax is now using Sony sensors only (instead of the Samsung sensors). Alejandro from MirrorlessRumors.com just published a rumor about Pentax launching two different new mirrorless system. And he has been told that Pentax will use the same Sony NEX sensors for their large sensor APS-C system. The other system has a small 1:2.33 sensor made by Kenko.

I didn’t hear anything about a possible Pentax and Sony mirrorlress partnership but I would love if Pentax would join the NEX system and you? That would put a bit of pressure on Sony and we could enjoy Pentax lenses too! Let’s dream…

P.S.: The weird design of the camera is based on the old but popular [shoplink 6193]Auto 110 camera[/shoplink].

We know have confirmation from our sources the A77 will feature a 3 Million dots OLED viewfinder. That more than double of the resolution fo the current [shoplink 3617]Sony A55/33[/shoplink] viewfinder. They have 1,4 Million dots (of which only 1,1 Million is used). We have no specific technical details about the new viewfinder but we were told that it has a higher refresh rate and a greater brightness too.

One more thing: the same viewfinder will be used for NEX cameras too. But the soruces didn’t tell me if that means there will be soon an optional external EVF or a camera with built-in EVF (?).

During the last weeks I recieved pieces of info from different sources about the future NEX lenses. I am trying to order them but I need a little bit of help. Those are the questions to my sources:

1) When is the Zeiss 24mm f/1.7 going to be announced?
2) Some of you sent me info about future lenses but without mentioning if those lenses are for E or A mount. Can you please add that info? An example is the 55-200mm lens someone told me about…
3) Sigma, Tamron and other third party lens makers are very likely to announce new NEX lenses. Some details about that?

Thanks a lot! :)

Ok ok, that’s not a Alpha related rumor but let’s post it anyway :)
Along the A35, NEX-C3, FS100 Sony will also announce three new videocameras. We have been told that one of the videocameras has built-in projectors. In the past we found a few patents describing such cameras so this should not be a big surprise.
What I am wondering is if that feature will sooner or later also become part of Sony digital cameras. I don’t know if you really care about that but Nikon already has such a camera: it is the [shoplink 6148 ebay]Coolpix S1000pj (Click here to see that cam)[/shoplink].

Stay tuned on SAR, the new NEX and SLT cameras are coming soon on April 4!
