According to Sony Alpha Rumors’ sources, it seems that come early 2014 there is a very good chance that we will be seeing the Sony NEX-7’s successor. Given that CP+ in Japan is taking place mid-February, the publication believes that we could see the device announced around that time. Take it with a grain of salt for now, but if you loved the NEX-7 and are wondering what sort of improvements Sony might have made with its successor, be sure to check back with us then for the details.

We have been hearing rumors about a possible NEX-7 successor since back in 2012 where the camera was rumored for a 2013 release, but given that we’re almost at the end of 2013 with no NEX-7 to show for it, safe to say those rumors did not pan out. It had been suggested that the “delay” could be due to production issues, while other reports claim that Sony’s new CEO was more interested in releasing cameras with innovative new features as opposed to mere incremental upgrades, which has usually been the case for several years now. Either way we’ll just have to keep an eye out for more details, but in the meantime what sort of features would you guys like to see in the NEX-7’s successor?

You might have heard some rumors about the Sony NEX-7n, the alleged successor to the NEX-7 mirrorless camera. You might have also heard that according to previous rumors, the camera has been delayed from its purported April announcement. However according to the folks at Sony Alpha Rumors, they claim to have gotten a tip which has suggested that the Sony NEX-7n, while missing its April announcement, could instead be announced and possibly released in May! Given that May is less than a month away, we guess the delay wasn’t as long as we had initially thought, assuming that the rumors are true of course.

Sony Alpha Rumors did state that the May date is still not a 100% confirmation, so take it with a grain of salt for now. Their source went on to reveal that the NEX-7n would feature a 3.8 million dot EVF, which apparently works by layering two OLEDs with 1.9 million dots each on top of each other. Sounds interesting and promising, but will it be able to live up to expectations? We guess we will have to wait and find out.

The Sony NEX-7 is currently the highest priced NEX camera in Sony’s portfolio, although if the rumors of the NEX-9 are true, then it would be the second-most expensive. According to Sony Alpha Rumors, they have managed to dig up additional information about the NEX-7n and according to their sources, they believe that an announcement for the NEX-7n could be made in early April, and for those who can’t wait to get their hands on it, it is expected to be stocked in May. So what sort of (rumored) specs are we talking about here?

For starters like earlier rumored, the NEX-7n is expected to sport a new 24MP APS-C sensor with a ½ stop improvement and increased dynamic range. It will also feature a 3.8 million dot EVF, a massive improvement over the NEX-7, a touchscreen LCD display, hybrid contrast and phase detection AF, WiFi capabilities and it should be around the same size as the current NEX-7 but with a slight redesign. No word on how much the rumored NEX-7n will cost, but we expect it should be priced around the same as the NEX-7 when it first launched.
