As you know a few days ago we posted the first images of the NEX-C3. In our poll we asked you if you like the new camera and your answer was largely positive! ThePhoBlographer explains: “Why The Sony NEX-C3 May Be Really Awesome”. I do agree and you?

After the NEX and the SLT cameas also the A580 gets a $50 discount in US.

[shoplink 4617][/shoplink]Last week I have been a bit surprised to see that Sony launched a $50 instant rebate offer for the NEX and SLT cameras. Why surprised? Because of the recent power supply problems in Japan I did expect to see some supply shortage and maybe some price increase too. But Sony launched an instant rebate offer in US (not in Europe or Asia as long as I know). Today also the excellent [shoplink 4617]Sony A580 camera[/shoplink] have been included in the instant rebate action. See the A580 body-only and body-kit-lens price at Amazon, Adorama, B&H and J&R (Click on shop names). Cool or not? If europeans and asian do find similar deals or rebates drop me a line at sonyalpharumors@gmail.com. Thanks!

And here is the summary of all US deals:
-$50 on the A580 at Amazon, Adorama, B&H and J&R.
-$50 on the A55 at Amazon, Adorama, B&H, J&R, eBay.
-$50 on the A33 at Amazon, Adorama, B&H, J&R, eBay.
-$50 on the NEX-5 at Amazon, Adorama, B&H, J&R, eBay.
-$50 on the NEX-3 at Amazon, Adorama, B&H, J&R, eBay.

More pictures of the flash and a NEX-C3 vs NEX-3 comparison.

Share

Also the new flash pictures have been leaked on photobucket and than removed after a few minutes. Sony NEX talk forum managed to copy the pictures. Our friend and SAR readers “Skywalker” created a cool animated NEX-C3 vs NEX-3 size comparison at http://alphacorner.eu/index.php/nowe/nex-c3-vs-nex-3-roznice-miedzypokoleniowe. He also calculated the approximate size of the C3: “Width to height it’s 111,7mm x 61,2mm“.

(SR5) Continually updated: Hot! This is the Sony NEX-C3 (and new external flash)!

Share

FInally we found the first pictures of the new NEX-C3!!! It has exactly the same [shoplink 3617]Sony A55[/shoplink] sensor with 16.2MP and HD video. There is als a new external flash! I like the new design and you? it’s a bit more professional than the NEX-3 layout (P.S.: See the NEX-3 at [shopcountry 3000]).

That camera was supposed to be announced on April 4th along the new Sony A35 (which has been delayed too). But due the recent earthquake-tsunami-nuclear disaster it has been delayed. We don’t know yet when Sony will announce both cameras. But we know Sony already planed a new press release in May so maybe….let’s cross the finger!

Reminder: The NEX-7 will be announced in July and we already gave you the first specs yesterday (Click here to read the article).

(SR5) First pictures of the new Sony A35 leaked!!!

Share

And here is the next leak. That’s the Sony A35!!! Like the NEX-C3 that camera was supposed to be announced on April 4th. But due the Japan earthquake the announcement has been delayed. They should be announced within the next weeks.

I would say the design is pretty much the same of the [shoplink 3617]Sony A33/A55[/shoplink]. We have been told the A35 has only a few minor improvements and fixes.

(SR4) The NEX-7 and A77 announcement will not be delayed. But…

Share

I got a small A77 and NEX-7 update for you: A well known and a new SonyAlphaRumors source just sent me a good and a bad news.

The good news first: The NEX-7 and A77 announcement scheduled for mid July has not been delayed due the recent earthquake disaster.
The bad news: Quantities will be limited at first.

If quantities are limited the price might be higher than expected as retailers could higher the margin to compensate the loss in quantity. But that’s just my speculation and I hope I might be wrong. At least this is not true for the Sony A55 which just got a $50 instant rebate on US stores like Amazon, Adorama, B&H, J&R, eBay (Click on the names to directly see the A55 product page and price).

P.S.: I also got one more info from the new source I am checking with my trusted sources. Soon I should learn more about the exact announcement day.
