I see that the "bundled" kit lists the camera body as "alpha" and other listings just describe it as "nex 7, what's the difference?

Alpha is the camera series, there are several models in this series from Nex 3 to Nex 7 (the most recent upgrade to the model line).

I don't believe there is a difference between other than how individuals name it. There may a level of confusion as Sony will be releasing the new A7r as it's next generation. I have had my NEX-7 for a couple of weeks and am starting to learn how to use it. I must say that I'm happy with the initial results but also will have a lot to learn going forward.

Sony is in the process of introducing a new Nex7, so this might be the old Nex7. I do think the bundle is a pretty good deal. I can't imagine how they could have improved the picture capabilities of the camera to be quite honest. I just got back from a vacation where I took 2000+ pictures. The camera is flat out tremendous. The best I have ever used and I have had 10 slr's dating back to the early '70s of both 35mm and digital.

Alpha is the family of digital cameras, the flagship of Sony cameras. Nex-7 is the specific model of the camera. So the exact name of this camera is the Sony Alpha Nex-7. Hope that clarifies.

Alpha are usually the bigger / heavier ones, nex (3,5,6 and 7 at this time) are mirrorless and lighter...I would suggest seeing them at the stores first then look online esp here at amazon for great deals. Usually bundles are the great deals esp with additional lenses which are not cheap and hardly goes on sale. Sony did a great thing with the a7 which kind of combines the alpha and nex though not cheap...oh and the lens mount are different with the 2 also but they have an adapter you can buy. Nobody said photography is cheap :-) hope this helps...

I believe it is Nex7 as the instruction booklet says it is Nex7 . I suggest you look up the next7 manual on line and email the third party reseller as well.Good luck!

For the D300S you need Camera Raw v5.5 or above. PSE 8 shipped with 5.5, so PSE versions 8 and above should handle your NEF raws.

Hi, Sony Alpha A7K is a derivative from the base model A7. "K" stands for kit lens for which the included kit lens is the SEL2870. As for A7R, its newer version of A7 which gives you 36.8 MP resolution. -Ely

The difference is the accessories (mounts, case, etc.) that come with the camera.

They are the same camera. B is for black. Some places just list it one way or the other.*Edit*- Looks like the answer has been covered.

I use an NEX 7 and it works fine. Ask your question on the dpreview forums where there is a lot of A7 talk.

The nex7 looks like it has the same hot shoe configuration as my Alpha A 37. I am using it on the A37. Look at the two cameras and if the flash shoe looks the same than it will work on the nex7

I have an a6000 and now I just bought the RX10, used from Amazon Warehouse deals for under $800 and it's so much better image quality wise then say, an a6000 with kit lens or 16mm F2.8 pancake lens. I have both cameras now and love them both but if you needed to pick just one, here is my recommendations... If you are a VIDEO person, get the RX10. If still image quality with fast accurate AF is your deal breaker, an a6000 with the 18-105 F4 G lens is a killer combo. NEX-7 vs a6000??? I sold my a77 and didn't like the NEX-7 or a65 becuase of horrible low light, high ISO image results. The a6000 with same 24megapixels + new bionz-x processor = excellent low light camera, close to a99's low light performance in stills. No mic input (stay with NEX-7) if that's a deal breaker but overall the a6000 is better than the NEX-7 in almost every way, including the new alpha style menu structure.

As you can see, you can choose, Camera only or Bundle... if you buy "camera only" it just the camera and the battery (it's a Sony special battery). If you buy the bundle, then you got 4Gb and a case and 25% discount :S it's cheaper if you buy the bundle... I recommend you that deal.

I really couldn't tell you that without more information. Could be the seller difference. Could be that the un-bundled camera has GPS, as some do. I really don't know. Sorry.

It does not work with My nex7 either. It is probably deffective, perhaps out of sync.

I ended up getting a different bundle. Check this out on AMZN: Canon EOS Rebel T4i Digital SLR Camera Body

Yes, this is the successor to the NEX 6 and 7, at least for the time being. There is no A7000 or higher model currently publicly announced, and while there could be in the future, it is merely speculation at this point. If you are looking to upgrade your NEX 7 now, this is the model.

This item was originally a camera "kit," which included the camera body, a lens, battery charger, etc. But the seller has removed the lens to sell separately, leaving everything else. There is NO LENS with this camera... even though it shows one on the box. It is camera body only, and will only work if you have your own lens. Worked well for me because I already had a lens and didn't want to be paying more for another one.
