Sony would have been better off releasing the nex 5R or 5N in india.

IMO internationally the NEX7 sales may take a hit due to the launch of the cheaper NEX-6.So to compensate the decline in demand of NEX 7 ,its being launched here.
 
Yup! It doesn't make much sense to go for the more expensive nex 7 when the cheaper nex 6 with better auto focus tracking and less noise? is available.They don't mention any price though!!
Also what happened to the nex 5R launch ?? Are they still gonna launch this diwali ?? Also they need to release the newly announced e mount lenses here ASAP;- esp the high aperture 35mm and the wide angle 10-18mm lenses
 
This trend of putting large sensors in compacts is great, wish it was copied by cellphone manufacturers as well.
But why is Sony still not releasing the NEX-5N in India :no2:
 
something is wrong with A99 video, weird though since sony was always touted to be good in that area

i am going ahead with my A57 though

^^ There is hardly any space in the body after trying to cram in all the battery-life they want and you decide that they should put half- / quarter-sensors in them.

People are not bothered, in-fact whoever has a camera-phone has an Instagram account with which to 'correct' their pictures. So no point.
 
^ Not full frame, just wishing that cellphone manufacturers would concentrate more on IQ and less on MP :D
 
Well I think current camera phones are way more advanced than and have much superior imgae quality.... Every generation is a a lot better... I dont see how you cant see the difference between say a smart phone from 2010 to now...

Compare these
550D announced in 2010 really great image quality still going strong now compared to a 650D announced a few months back
Samsung Galaxy S announced in 2010 to the present Galaxy SIII. Far superior image quality.

I know it friend but space is a premium and the market these days is full of people who want the 'lightest', 'thinnest' and the smartest phone in the lot.

Does not leave an awful lot of space to care about image quality, I mean look at the price of a NOKIA Pureview 808 now, even after its acclaimed camera it has crashed SO much.

In this world of 'Instagram and Photoshop' to 'correct' your photographs to gather 'likes and AMAZZZZZZZZZZZING' comments no body is bothered.

We are going OT now. Cheerio!
