Sony NEX-5R and NEX-6 allegedly get pictured, flaunt WiFi logos (updated with leaked press shots)

Sony NEX5R and NEX6 allegedly get pictured, flaunt WiFi logos

In early August, an Indonesian POSTEL listing revealed two new mirrorless NEX shooters in Sony’s pipeline, both reportedly rocking wireless LAN chips. Now VR-Zone seems to have come across certification photos of the two cameras, each modeling — you guessed it — its very own WiFi logo. As expected, this puts Sony’s ILC range inline with the wireless smorgasbord it laid out at CES, eschewing less native, accessory-based solutions. VR-Zone wagers that the NEX-5R will sell for about $700, and pegs the NEX-6 somewhere around $1000.

Update: Sony Alpha Rumors has thrown in some more images of the NEX-5R, this time of the press shot kind. We’ve embedded a handful after the break.

Unannounced Sony NEX-5R and NEX-6 cameras could pack wireless connectivity

Sony NEX 5R and NEX 6 appear on Indonesian POSTEL database with WiFiconnectivity

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.
