This Sony camera was released at the 2014 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) and featured on SAR

Seems to be a nifty little camera with the 16-50 as kit lens
Looks like the launch price in UK is not bad considering the included lens.
Just got e-mail from Park Cameras offering the camera and lens at £420.00.
This seems to be a replacement for everything ex NEX below the NEX-6 type camera. No EVF or new flash/Mike shoe. Swivel rear screen so that you can take selfies and the connectivity for the smart phone generation.
This camera is not for me, but I would love an upgraded NEX-6 with this sensor and the A7 EVF. Come on Sony, but I suspect the NEX-7 upgrade will be next as this model does not have the new shoe and wireless features. I really don't need 24Mp, but perhaps Sony don't think a NEX-6 successor is required now with entry models at 20Mp and NEX-7 successor probably still with 24Mp, but improved. No real room in between any longer.
