Title: Sony NEX Full Frame
Post by: LSD72 on August 17, 2012, 23:15
Apparently Sony is rumored to be working on a Full Frame Nex.

Considering that I only see crop sensors on any of their cameras  (that currently are on B&H), are they going to have a different mount (meaning new lenses to make) or will the A Mounts work on these with the larger sensor?

I'm pleased about this.  Makes a lot of sense to have a full frame camera with an electronic viewfinder.  A bigger version of the NEX-7 but much smaller and less weight than all the current full frame cameras would probably sell well.  Sony used to own Mamiya, I used to like the look of the Mamiya 7 film camera and imagine this could look something like it, if they're going to follow the trend for retro design.

This is a very interesting camera. I hope the next step will be one with interchangeable lenses. I love using my Leica glass on my sony 7, it would be fantastic to have a full frame camera with good video abilities as well.

Looks like Leica is getting some real competition.
