Sony NEX-7 Coming Soon?

March 17, 2011 By Eric Reagan 4 Comments

The rumor mill is churning about a new NEX flagship camera from Sony. The rumored Sony NEX-7 was tipped to Photo Rumors as a follow up to the popular NEX-3 and NEX-5, along with the following description:

When you look in front of the new Sony NEX 7 with the 24mm Zeiss mounted, the new camera looks like a twin of the Minolta Dimage A2 – a really small nice pro body.

That description reminds me of the recently announced JVC GC-PX1, although it is a fixed lens camera. Not much more about the new mirrorless camera is known at the moment.
