Sony NEX 9 Rumored To Be Fully Compatible With A Mount LensesLast week we heard rumblings of a certain Sony NEX-9, with rumors claiming that the camera could prove to be more expensive than the DSC-RX1 and will be Sony’s full frame mirrorless camera system. Whether such a device exists remains to be seen, but that doesn’t mean the rumor mill will stop, no sir! Now this particular rumor should please Sony Alpha camera owners who have bought several, if not many, of Sony’s A-mount lenses. Sony Alpha Rumors is reporting that according to their source, it seems that the NEX-9 will be fully compatible with A-mount lenses, and interestingly it does not require any adapter of sorts, suggesting that attaching an A-mount lens to the NEX-9 would be similar to attaching it onto an Alpha camera. Unfortunately the details of the solution was not revealed by their source, so we guess we will have to wait and see for ourselves. No word on when this alleged NEX-9 will be launching, but so far it is shaping up to be a pretty impressive camera, or so the rumors say. So, anyone excited at the idea of such a device?

Rumored Sony NEX 9 Could Cost More Than The RX1Sony’s NEX range of mirrorless camera systems are priced from affordable to expensive, like the NEX-7 being the top of the range for example. However if the rumors are to be believed, it seems that Sony could working on a new NEX camera going by the name of the NEX-9. This is according to the folks at Sony Alpha Rumors who spoke to their source. According to their source, the NEX-9 is expected to be the first full-frame mirrorless camera offering in Sony’s NEX lineup and it seems that it could be priced a lot higher than the Sony RX1, the company’s full-frame Cybershot digital camera.

At the moment the RX1 is priced around $2,800 on Amazon which means that if their source is to be believed, the NEX-9 could see a pricing upwards of $3,000, and this is just the price for the body-only version! The goal here is to offer a mirrorless camera that can either match or surpass the capabilities of a pro DSLR camera, but in a much more compact body. We’re not sure when Sony will be launching said camera, but given its price it certainly isn’t for everyone. What do you guys think? Will you be willing to pay upwards of $3,000 for a full-frame mirrorless camera system?
