Hasta La Gadget!

Having the ability to control your camera via your phone can be pretty handy. This allows users to use their phones as remote shutters to take photos so that they don’t have to wait for the timer, along with the possibility of changing settings without having to run back to the camera. Now assuming the latest batch of Sony NEX-5R and NEX-6 rumors are true, phone control is one of the rumored features that will be making its way into the devices. (more…)

A couple of days ago we reported on the Sony NEX-6 rumors which stated that there is a chance that the camera will come with WiFi connectivity. Now the folks at Sony Alpha Rumors are back with some additional details of the rumored camera. If you thought that the NEX-7’s 24MP APS-C sensor was too huge and it produced too much noise, apparently that is an issue that will be addressed with the NEX-6. It is expected to offer better noise control and will come with a 16MP APS-C sensor which is apparently different from the one in the NEX-C3 and the NEX-5n. The WiFi connectivity has also been pointed out again but unfortunately that’s as much details as they could give. No word on pricing or availability just yet, but they have speculated that given that the NEX-6 is expected to be an in-between camera for the NEX-7 and the NEX-5n, perhaps a price in the $900 range is possible. Either way we’ll take this with a grain of salt for now, but be sure to check back with us later for more updates!

Sony’s NEX camera series hasn’t made much noise so far this year, aside from its new entry-level F3 model. But that’s likely to change soon, with a pair of new mirrorless model numbers appearing in Indonesian POSTEL listings. They’ve since been nixed, but not before the eagle eyes at Sony Alpha Rumors plucked this screen grab of the NEX-5R and NEX-6. It’s the Wireless LAN part (which resulted in this listing) that’s piqued our interested, suggesting that Sony’s next generation of ILCs will also board the wireless connectivity train. There’s no more detail to glean from the listing, although rumors (and hopeful prayers) point to an announcement ahead of premier camera show, Photokina, which kicks off next month.
