Sightings of the new NEX 7


Does anyone has news from shops when the body+kit is coming out?
 

the f43am flash with the nex 7.

Funny that this flash's AF Assist illuminator does not work when it's mounted on the NEX-7. No such problem when it's used on the A77 though.

SLRR can be very inconsistent in the way they treat their customers. I know of someone who had placed his booking for the NEX-7 with them early and when stock came in, they refused to sell it to him at those $1600+ prices people here quoted that they got from them citing limited stock and high demand as the reason and wanted RRP instead. He of course decided to buy from someone else and SLRR lost a rich customer for good. Yet they seems to be willing to sell to other walk-ins without reservation at such ridiculously low prices. I guess old habits die hard when you are the scion of such ill-repute shops like Bally Photo.:think:

Hi guys, I am new to this forum. Just want to share my experience at SLRR. I happened to be at funan yesterday so decided to go make a reservation for nex 7. The guy at first told me no stock and when I decided to reserve, another guy said there is a set available. It's from someone who reserved but did not turn up they claimed. Hence I became the proud owner of a nex 7 for $16xx.

The incident with the guy I mentioned happened when the NEX-7 was just launched when they were still selling to some at $1600+ and definitely way before ptey bought the last set from them at those prices.

Seems to work over here. Did you turn on AF assist in your menu?

That mean if i go now, most probability they sell me the RRP price also, since then i just wait for a while, maybe a month later the price will eventually drop to $1.8k for the full body kit, = D let we see what the price during IT Show 2012, i'm non singaporean

for my case, only the assist light from the body will come on, flash wont.

that's why some shops don't carry Sony products. ;)
 

Hi, this is my first post here. Just want to share my experience on SLRR. I happened to be at funan on Wednesday so decided to make a reservation for nex 7. Walked in and asked and first guy told me no stock. When I say i want to make reservation, another guy said he got one set. Someone reserved but no show so I suddenly become the proud owner of a nex 7 for $16xx.

That's what I mean. The same case for me too. But according to the flash's manual, when mounted on a camera, the assist light of the flash should take over duty from that of the camera. It doesn't for the NEX-7 but the flash will emit the assist light if mounted on the A77.

think maybe Sony needs to update the firmware for the camera or flash.
 

Have been doing some low light testing between 5N and 7 for the past few days.

Not professional method though, its my method. :)

Initial observation seems 7 is on par with 5N all the way up till iso3200 where 5N has slightly better IQ from iso6400 onwards.

White balance wise, 7 is more accurate and neutral while 5N is slightly warmer when set to auto for both.

Will try post some comparison shots if got time. :)

Overall, i would say 7 has around same IQ as 5N but has definitely better external controls and ergonomics and handling.
 

Never, ever, expect a better price at the IT Shows.
Second that.
You most likely get some free gifts like camera bag that you don't use, tripod that is weak. etc. to collect dust at home.
