Release DateAugust 24, 2011
On August 24 2011, Sony announced the high-end 24.3 Megpaixels NEX-7 and 16.1 Megapixels NEX-5N mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras. The NEX-7 camera manages to incorporate many of the features from SLT-A77 into a body only barely larger than the existing NEX models. It features a 24.3 Megapixels APS-C CMOS sensor and 2.4M dot XGA OLED electronic viewfinder with a magnesium alloy body, a pop-up flash and Alpha hot shoe. The viewfinder can provide approximately 100 percent frame coverage, as well as on-screen grid lines, various shooting parameters and a level gauge. It can support AVCHD Progressive (Ver. 2.0) Full HD movies captures at 60p/24p frame rates and it also comes with a 3-inch Xtra Fine LCD display that can be angled up to 90-degrees up or 45-degrees down for easy viewing in any shooting position. The Sony NEX-5N comes with a new image sensor at 16.1 Megapixels resolution, supporting a new high ISO of 25,600 equivalent. The NEX-5N's new sensor is coupled to a new generation BIONZ image processor that allows it to capture 10 frames per second at full resolution, as well as progressive-scan Full HD video at 60 frames per second. It also provides both aperture / shutter-priority and fully manual exposure for movie capture. The NEX-5N also includes a new touch screen overlay on its articulated 3-inch TFT LCD panel, it allows intuitive operations such as touching a subject to perform autofocus, and also offers a range of simple slider-based controls. The α NEX-7 will be available this November in a kit with an exclusive black 18-55mm zoom lens for about $1350, or as a body-only for about $1200. The NEX-5N will be available this September in black and silver with an 18-55mm kit zoom lens (model SEL1855) for about $700 and as a body-only for about $600.
