I'm with you on this.. looks like a very tempting set up. I'll snap on a (rumored) iISO hot shoe adapter and mount my F20 on it as well...

The nex6 dial is not match with nex, its fugly....

And 5r no built in flash ? Goshhhhhhh....

Dont know price for 11-18 will be how much, sincerely hope <2k, possible ?

Ah Hao, looks doesn't matter if it delivers..

if the rumours are true then NEX-5R will the the only NEX without built in flash

funny cause NEX-5 series is suppose to be higher end than NEX-3 series

or maybe sony thinks that not everyone needs the built in flash

I think the total camera models released exceed the total number of lenses....

NBTD so post crap here.... me thinks.

NEX-7
- King of the hill.

NEX-6
- I think this will be awesome street camera.. targeting enthuasiast with slightly deeper pocket and diehard traditionalist who die die must stick something to the eye else boh song. This I think is the real spiritual successor to the NEX-5 and NEX-5N
I think stevehuff will blah blah about how this is the next big thing and then biatch about how the EVF resolution not nice.

NEX-5R
- Target cheapfag camera geeks who dun wanna pay more for NEX-6 with new sensor, hybrid AF, control dial and most niceties found in entry DSLR's at that price point.. hope they improve on the bracketing options though


NEX-F3
- Target mainstream consumers... multi color IDs, camwh0re LCD, poppy flash.
- No hybrid AF cos consumer tak paham what's hybrid AF... mei mei's also don't run very fast otherwise sweat and ruin makeup.
- No remote shutter cable or IR remote cos consumers don't pakai bulb mode.

Boh pien la... since they target consumer and consumers cares more about how many creative filters the camera has rather than muck around with lens.

Chicken and egg situation.... no market share = many lens also no use. So better grab market share kau kau first by converting the biggest slice of the pie.

The NEX-6 looks like it got beaten with an ugly stick.

Nevermind the stupid decision to put an ISO hotshoe, the ISO hotshoe that is on the NEX-6 is ugly. Plus, it has no other pins besides the big trigger one in the middle (look at a Canon and Nikon hotshoe and observe where they put the signal pins.)

This might just mean Sony isn't going to make their own ISO hotshoe flashes - and even if they did, it wouldn't support TTL, wireless trigger or whatever.

The NEX-7, meanwhile, allows you to put a HVL-F20AM (or F43 or F58) and use that to trigger other Sony Alpha flashes wirelessly.

More pics of the upcoming NEX-5R

same like F3, can be tilted up 180 degrees (but cannot be tilted down as much as the current gen i guess? )

which is a more useful feature? tilted down for overhead shot or tilted up for self taken portrait?

anybody already got the iso hotshoe adapter for nex?

thinking to buy it from ebay...
(got 3 nikon flash..)
seem like a waste of the nex potential without off-camera flash

i got the iso hotshoe adapter from ebay.
it works perfectly with my YN468 flash, up to 1/250s!!!
but it stated not for mounting the big flash directly due to the weight will damage the connection.
I am going to get the Aputure Trigmaster this week and test the off camera flash!! Will need to sell the YN468 to canon guys and get the latest YN560EX!

With this I will satisfied with 5N at this moment. 5R will not for me. I will keep the 5N for at least 1-2years. 6 is the best choice but I can wait at this moment.

saw gstrapinuse (link selling no need ebay lah. dunno bout stock
their shop near to PJ SS14 only

ya loh, i got it only they brought in!! some more cheaper than mine!! damn!

Yeah... just sold my D700 today...
Now wait for nex 6 or 5r with 11-18

that save alot of trouble...
had buy several things from the shop before..
faster and cheaper from ebay also..
now already got yn rf602 (2 transmitter and 3 receiver)

will post the result here

Seconded wei.. NEX-6 with 35mm 1.8 sounds delicious .

I tot the photo is taken from somewhere rubbish bin

ughh.. just got confirmation...
out of stock..
anybody know some place else to get?
or if anybody want to sell their.. im willing to buy at new price..
(of course with good condition)

maybe you can try preorder with them again.
i doubt there is anybody else carrying this. I have been searching for months b4 i ordered from ebay.
i'm thinking to buy the Yongnuo Flash YN560-II from them too!

I'm looking for a flash for my nex7 too? Whats good about this Yongnuo Flash YN560-II?

Full manual flash non TTL
Strong Guide no. 58 with low price.
Strong optical sensor work in outdoor with S1/s2 mode
Manual Multi Flash strobist function
Can use external power pack
Fast recharging
Supporting high speed continuous shooting:Under the ouput level of 1/8 or below

Almost like those expensive Original flash minus the TTL function.

You need get the model for Sony hot shoe mount to work with NEX7.
