Sony NEX-7 specification highlights

All-new 24MP APS-C CMOS sensor (shared with the SLT-A7 and A657)
ISO 100-16000
Built-in 2.4M dot OLED EVF with eye sensor
Electronic first-curtain shutter (cuts response time from 100ms to 20ms)
'AVCHD Progressive' 1080p60 HD movie recording with built-in stereo mic
Tilting rear screen
Three-dial user interface
Built in flash and Alpha hotshoe
Infra-red remote control receiver


So - a brand new sensor, bigger than m43, much improved response time plus three Zeiss branded lenses, including a 24mm 1.8 and a 50mm 1.8.

Oh, and the body is Magnesium Alloy too...which is a great plus point for any one who actually uses a camera..

only the 24/1.8 is a Zeiss branded, so far at least ...
the other 2 are Sony.

just out of interest - does 24mm cover aps-c or 35mm frame? This would suggest if there will be an FF version at some point

you would need to shoot it to see (& I don't think that anyone has & is talking).
Sony have previously said that E-mount is optimised for APS-C but could take an FF sensor.

There is already a Zeiss 24/2.0 for Alpha mount which is FF & fits NEX via an adapter.
