Is this camera the next in line for what would have been the NEX7 successor?

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.

No, it is the NEX 6 successor. The true successor to the NEX-7 is the a7 and the a7r. Sony decided to take their top of the line mirrorless camera and make it a full frame.

There are many a7000 rumors and I hope it happens as I really want the a6000 but with the touch-screen of the a5100 to help touch focus shots. Without the touch screen it feels incomplete. I don't want to go to the full frame size of the a7r as I already own a Canon 6D so need a good street walk around camera. The size and grip of the a6000 is perfect for me. The 5100 feels like a toy and doesn't have the great EVF.

This simply means that there's a slightly upgraded model of the D7000 which is D7100 :=)

I'm not sure with the NEX7, Mrs, Smith. I can only suggest researching more or contacting SAFE SYNChotline. Sorry!

No. The camera was obsolete three months before you bought it. Save your money for your next camera. Parenthetically, the DLux 6 is a very good camera. I use mine a lot for still shots and video and the color accuracy is excellent and the pictures are sharp and excellent to look at.

I believe that the Nex7 uses the same adapter as the alpha6000. That would be the ADP-MAA by Sony

I'm sorry that I can't give a reliable answer. I called Sony about it while I had the lens in my possession and was told that it didn't apply to my NEX-7. Sony Customer service was quite helpful. I suggest trying them. Unless there is new stock at Amazon, my understanding is that you will likely have to send the lens to Sony for upgrade if yours is not the NEX-7 model.

The NEX-7 uses E-mount lenses, this lens is an A-mount and therefore will not work directly on the NEX-7.

I recently had a very long talk with a rep from Nikon. He said that there is no new replacement for the D80 yet in the pipeline. Can not verify that this is the truth, but he usually is honest about this sort of thing.

I too am looking for a new cyber-shot. I am looking to buy the dsc-w290 but I have heard great things about the WX1, such as the new panoramic sweep mode and cmos sensor. Not to mention zoomable HD video is amazing.Why you should wait however, is that this is the first batch of cameras with the new sensor. It also uses a smaller LCD than the 3.0 inch they started using such as the dsc-w290 and is only 10.1 mp which if you shoot in 16:9 mode, will be even less.Sony will come out with new cameras being announced in January at the CES 2010 show and then you should decide. If nothing substantial is announced, the price for this will have dropped greatly. I too am looking for a new cyber-shot.

The cnet video review was especially great - it shows a lot its features really well. I hope some more in-depth reviews come out soon. And I still haven't seen any reviews on the other cameras I'm considering, so I guess I have a long way to go. Of course, none of them are available to purchase yet. The frustrating part is every day I come across situations where I could use a camera like that! Oh well....

No review because... it's not released yet! :) Can't review what's not there.But I do agree with you, this camera does seem to have everything that a semi-professional or budget-professional could want in an SLR digital camera. It's just a shame that I have to wait until October, because I have a wedding to shot in September and my old digital SLR isn't working properly (have had it for several years).Just one negative to this sweet baby... according to the pictures, I do not see a hotshoe. :(

I have not used the other cameras, so I cannot compare. I will say that I am very happy with what I have shot so far. I have no regrets buying this camera.

Who knows about rumors? My guess is ~ a year or so, and a D700 variant may be added to the mix, rather than replacing the D700.If a high MPx sensor [D3x variant] is added as a D700x, then this would be an additional, more expensive $4-5k model. If the D3s sensor is swapped in, then ??? Such a swap will not happen soon, lest Nikon loose too many D3s sales IMO.There are _some_ deals available that give some savings with a combo purchase ...

as far as I know they are just running a special because the NEX line is discontinued. Moving the alpha line.

I don't know the newer model, but the current one is good enough. However, I've sold all my Canon cameras and most of the lens, and switch to Sony Nex system. Just bought the Sony a6000. Its very good. Focus super fast, nothing less than 7D. Just my thought. Good luck with your choice.
