UPDATE: That’s the rumored leak….as suspected only images of the Sony mockups :)

Thanks GH1user and Fotoingo!

The old rumor:

Photorumors just received this tip from a reader:

“More pictures from the Sony NEX are in the new German magazine DigitalPHOTO 606/2010 on pages 43 and 114. On page 114 are 3 different lenses (1 big telezoom?) and 3 bodies (blue, red and silver) to see.”

Some german reader can find this pictures for us?

Anyway I believe those are the mockups pictures :(

Thanks!

I just received a minor but reliable rumor. According to our trusted sources the NEX5 and NEX3 cameras will come in four colors:

Black,Silver,Red,Blue

Unlike the cameras the lenses are supposed to be sold in the silver-chrome version only. Imagine, blue body and silver lens…doesn’t seem to match!

blog.livedoor.jp compared the size between the NEX and the GF1 / E-PL1 / E-P2 cameras!
Anyway keep in mind that the NEX images are not real images. But this guys are usually good in “recreating” the camera design based on leaks and rumors. Well done!

According to many different sources Sony is not only ready to launch the new NEX mirrorless cameras. Two new entry level Alphas will be announced in June-July. One model should be the A290 the other model the A390(?). According to one source the cameras will not use the enw EXmor HD sensor.
The Sony Alpha A230 and the Sony Alpha A380 have been announced in May 2009.

I have been asked by many of you to try to get some info about the autofocus speed. I asked around and the answer I got is that the contrast autofocus is very fast. At least as fast as the Panasonic GH1 / GF1 autofocus. But we will have to wait until the official NEX release to be sure of that.
Another question was how many frames per second both cameras do have.
A first rumor I recieved says that the NEX3 will have 5fps and the NEX5 7fps. But I still need to doublecheck that news.

Thanks!
