Sony May Have Some Amazing New NEX Cameras in Their Pipeline

The internet is always full of rumors. Some of them are made up, conceived from the wishful thinking of fanboys and other daydreamers, while others have a solid basis. One of the latter is the rumor that a new iteration of Sony’s highly popular NEX-5 mirrorless interchangeable lens camera may soon be hitting markets. How do we know that? Well, the designation ‘NEX-5T’ has recently been registered with the Taiwan Radio Research Agency, and that’s usually a safe sign. Sadly, we have no conclusive details on the 5T’s specifics yet, but considering how the NEX-5-series has matured over time–from the original NEX-5 over the 5n to the current 5R–, it’s probably safe to assume that it’s another iteration of the well-proven recipe, with some slight extra spice here and there.

The other rumor that’s been floating around–for a long while, actually–is that Sony is currently working on a mirrorless NEX camera sporting a full-frame 35mm sensor. The company has already proven that it is possible to fit a sensor of that size into an NEX mount camera when they introduced the VG900 camcorder. Since then, enthusiasts all over the world have demanded a full-frame NEX stills camera, and now it seems their wish might be granted. As Mirrorless Rumors points out, it is likely that the full-frame NEX will be introduced in September of this year. Let’s keep our thumbs pressed!
