With IFA in Berlin coming up in September, tech companies are now beginning to announce their new products. Sony makes the start today with two new E-mount cameras and two new E-mount lenses–all of which had been leaked on the internet days before the announcement. The two cameras Sony is announcing today are the NEX-5T, wich is the successor to the NEX-5R, and the a3000, which is an E-mount camera despite it looking like one of Sony’s Alpha DSLR/Ts. Sony’s two new E-mount lenses are the Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar T* 16-70mm F4 and the 18-105mm F4 G OSS Power Zoom Lens. Details on the products after the break.
