The Sony 28-75mm f/2.8 SAM has been tested by Photozone (Click here): “The Sony 28-75mm f/2.8 SAM is an affordable alternative to the Zeiss ZA 24-70mm f/2.8. Technically it isn’t all that far away from its bigger brother – both have a weakness at max. aperture specifically with respect to the corner resolution. However, the Zeiss is generally more snappy here (higher contrast) – this aspect is not exactly a strength of the Sony lens. ”

Check the Sony 28-75mm price at Amazon, B&H, Adorama, eBay.

I am still working to get a 100% prove that the leaked images are real. Some new sources said yes the images are all real. And don’t get confused by that “NO” button. The NEX-7 you saw was a prototype and it looks like this was a deliberated choice (weird!). I am sure my trusted sources will soon tell me more about the pics! My guess now is that all leaked pictures are real. But just wait a bit until I can give you the 100% reliable confirmation!

The only “SR5 thing” I can say is that I have been told the NEX-7 has definitely a built-in viewfinder and a very Fuji X100 look! And another new source told me the NEX-5 replacement will actually be called the NEX5N and not the NEX5E.

P:S: In the meanwhile I am going to climb my next mountain today. So please be aware that I can answer you in a 7-8 hours only!

My sources finally allowed me to post a small rumor that in my opinion is the very first step to a revolution. I can post it on Monday at 10am London time. Do not expect a picture or detailed specs. It’s a small rumor, but when you think about it could be the straw that breaks the camel’s back!

I bet it here, this will start a very long discussion on SAR! So stay tuned!

P.S.: I am often going on mountains, climbing here and there. Sorry if it takes long to answer your mails or allow your comments.

P.P.S.: Just a reminder. Some of you asked me how to support that website. As you can see I don’t use dozens of banners and I don’t get paid by any company to do what I do. All the work you see here is made by me during my free time. If you want to help me to cover the monthly server costs there is an easy way: Click on affiliate links you see on that website like Amazon, B&H, Adorama, eBay to buy whatever product you want (it doesn’t have to be a camera) and I will earn a small commission from it. You don’t pay any penny more on the items you buy and at the same time you support SonyAlphaRumors without me having to put 100 banners on my website. Cool or not? Thanks :)

One of our reader (Thanks Clement!) just rechecked the Sonyservice Canada website and found three new codes:
NEX5N (This is probably the new code fot the upcoming new NEX-5E)
NEXVG20 (This should be the Sony NEX-VG10 successor)
SEL55210 (This is the 55-210mm lens for NEX).

Now let’s hope Sony Canada will soon add the new A77 and NEX-7 codes too ;)

On top you can see a NEX-C3 review made by Digitalrev (looks like they like the camera a lot!).

BHphoto just send me a email to remind me that you can saave $200 when buying a NEX camera with both lenses (18-55 and 16mm). See all the NEX deals at BHphoto (Click here) and Amazon (Click here).

I just got the link to the following NEX-7 picture! I have been told this is a preproduction version! One of my sources said the image is original but the final model could have some differences!!! As you see the NEX-7 has a rangefinder style a là Fuji X100 (Click here to see that camera)! As you know the NEX-7 will feature the same A77 24 Megapixel sensor and a 3 million dot OLED EVF (it is not a hybrid viewfinder!). It has the Zeiss 24mm f/1.8 attached (but that is also a prototype). The camera should cost around $1.200.

UPDATE (Mark explanation):
1) 3 Million dot OLED EVF
2) Hot shoe
3) 24mm f/1.8 ZEISS
4) Flash and the Image preview buttons
5) Pop-Up flash
6) Manual Aperture and Shutter Speed controls?
7) ???
8) ???

Stay tuned on SAR. I am still working to get more info about the A77 pictures leaked yesterday. Don’t miss any rumors. Join us on Facebook, Twitter and follow our RSS-feed!
