NEX-7 replacement coming soon?

[yarmmcd]

The long rumoured NEX-7 (A7000) may be actually coming soon.

I hope for: 32MP, a much softer eyecup (the old one hurts!), a rubber grip that wont need gluing back on so often, bigger built in flash with a better sync speed & an easier menu.

Any ideas?

I'm not bothered about 4k video, who need it really?

It would probably take IBIS for me to consider upgrading from my A6000. But that would probably do it, unless I can suddenly afford an A7II.

It would be really nice if sony made a high end crop sensor camera with a body similar to the a7 mkII...something like Canon is doing with the 7D mkII...I hope the a7000 goes at least a bit in this direction....

I like that! I had been thinking "scaled-up A6000", but "scaled-down A7II" sounds wonderful. If it's scaled down in price, too, of course. 

 

Add IBIS and keep both thumbwheels and it will be time for an upgrade already.

Exactly...a scaled down a7 mkII with a higher frame rate and killer AF.... I would gladly pay a grand (or even more) for a body...If it would have the AF capabilities of the A7r II, that would be a dream camera

 

I know people would argue that the small size of the a6000 is a big plus, but for serious work it would be better to have a bigger body and 2 thumb wheels

But for the "serious work" you mention surely the solution is the A7Rii? Keep the A6000 small!

[AIOravecz]

Yeah...but not everyone has 3 grand for the a7rII...and 42Mpx is not what everyone needs....also aps-c sensors do have advantages...

 

It would be a great sports camera...for my opinion also very good for concerts...

 

BTW...they are keeping the a6000 small...we are talking about the nex 7 replacement....a camera ranked higher than the a6000....as far as I know, the a6000 is staying in production

Would like to have something like "Focus bracketing" in the highly anticipated nex 7 replacement - seems to come These days in some form with some new camera, forgot which. Would be cool in 2 forms

(a) "Focus Point optimization": 3 or 5 shots with Focus Point very Close to the actually Chosen Point - so I can choose later among the one which hits the fine Detail i actually wanted sharp

( "Field of depth optimization": 3 or 5 shots that are combined to a single shot with "impossible sharpness". This seems to be the Option coming with that new camera mentioned above. Combinatoin should be to RAW, not only jpeg, since I would like to be able to further work on it with maximal Information Content with lightroom or the like.
