In February when rumours of the NEX series first trickled in, we also had information about a NEX 7 as well as the 5 and 3 series. The numbering appears to mirror the Alpha range. Can we also expect a 9 series NEX camera?
Today I received more info from the same source as last time, who got the NEX 3 and 5 specs bang on right.
There is no NEX 9 planned but there is a NEX 7.
The NEX 7 addresses the missing enthusiast features from the NEX 5.

Meet the Nokia mobile which does 24p. Sounds like a joke doesn’t it?
Nokia’s N8 has a specially developed sensor which is the largest ever found in a mobile device, and larger than all but the highest end compacts like the Panasonic LX3.
(In the pic above, the 14-140mm lens seems to have some kind of adapter on the front of it – what is it?)
Here are some to start it off. I’ll be seeking to ask Panasonic and to get some answers!
The first interchangeable lens Micro 4/3rds camcorder is due to be released later this year and of course this is great news – so good to see Panasonic making intelligent use of their investment in the existing Micro 4/3rds technology.
