Sony fills the gap between the NEX-5N and the NEX-7
- By Stan Horaczek on September 11, 2012
The NEX-5N is just a few weeks old, but now there's even another addition to the NEX family in the form of the NEX-6.One of the first things you'll notice when picking it up is that it has a built-in electronic viewfinder. It's the same OLED Tru-Finder that resides in the NEX-7. It has a resolution of 2.36 million dots and covers 100% of the frame.

Camera Test: Sony NEX-7 ILC

Sony seriously shakes up the camera game. Again
- By Philip Ryan on December 5, 2011
Sony has a tendency to develop certain technologies, then apply them wherever it can—often to good effect. Last month, we saw the latest iteration of its transmissive mirror technology paired with a new 24.3MP CMOS sensor and a lovely OLED electronic viewfinder in the Alpha 77. Now Sony’s taken those two new features and paired them with a completely revamped NEX body for the most impressive ILC we’ve seen to date, the NEX-7 ($1,200, street, body only; $1,350 with 18–55mm f/3.5–5.6 lens).

Camera Test: sony NEX–C3 ILC

More megapixels for Sony’s latest NEX
- By Philip Ryan on September 13, 2011
Sony has its own unique take on interchangeable-lens compact cameras with its NEX line, pairing extremely small bodies with relatively large lenses. The latest addition to the lineup, the 16.2MP NEX-C3 ($650, street, with 18–55mm f/3.5–5.6 lens), uses the same sensor as the Sony Alpha 35 we tested in our August issue—but provides a completely different shooting experience from that camera.In the Test Lab

New Gear: Sony NEX-7 Stuffs DSLR Guts Into an Interchangeable Lens Compact Body

This ILC has a lot in common with its chubbier DSLR siblings
- By Stan Horaczek on August 24, 2011
If you're looking through the spec sheet for the NEX-7, you'll notice that there is a surprising amount of carry-over from that of Sony's new mid-level (one might even say prosumer if that wasn't such an ugly phrase) DSLRs. The NEX-7 uses the same 24.3-megapixel Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor and BIONZ processor as its DSLR counterparts, making it the most powerful -- at least from a resolution standpoint -- camera in its class. it has the same 100-16000 range for ISO settings and AVCHD Progressive Video capture up to 60p at full HD resolution with stereo sound.

New Gear: Sony NEX-5N Is Faster, Still Skinny

Sony continues on their quest to get more FPS out of an interchangeable-lens compact
- By Stan Horaczek on August 23, 2011
While the new NEX-7 has more in common with Sony's new DSLRs than the rest of their ILC line, the NEX-5N should seem a lot more familiar. Sony's emphasis on speed remains a constant, bumping the NEX-5N's shutter lag time to just 20 milliseconds, a number that matches that of the NEX-7. The new AF algorithm also speeds things up in the focus department, offering what Sony calls a "significant' improvement over the NEX-5.

New Gear: Sony Introduces Three New E-Mount Lenses and an A-to-E-Mount Adapter

A tele-zoom, a high-end prime, a updated standard and a very interesting -- if pricy -- little adapter round out the list
- By Stan Horaczek on August 23, 2011
It has been a good night for Sony shooters. Well, at least the ones with a healthy gear budget. To compliment their new array of cameras (including the A77/A65, the NEX-5N and the NEX-7) they have also crafted a good bit of new glass. There's a little something for almost everyone, so here's the breakdown.Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* E 24mm F/1.8 ZA (Pictured Above)The most fancifully dressed at Sony's new glass party is a fast and wide prime that's set to demand $1,000 when it launches in December of this year.
