TheCameraStoreTV has posted a video of a pre-production Sony NEX-7 with the Carl Zeiss 24mm Sonnar. They have nothing but good things to say about the camera. One minor issue they have was the eye-start sensor for the new viewfinder, but as they said in the video it can easily be fixed in the options menu. In the video, he uses a Nikon to NEX E-mount lens adapter to show how versatile the NEX system is. The best thing about the video is how good the NEX-7 looks in hand. It's larger than the previous NEX cameras but it still looks very compact. He looked very comfortable with the new Tri-Navi dials and electronic viewfinder. We also liked the sound of the shutter, a nice simple click. Thanks TheCameraStoreTV !

Sony NEX-5N with Minolta 60cm Tele Rokkor TD J L Smith wanted a telephoto lens for his Sony NEX-5N so he found a Minolta 60cm Tele Rokkor TD lens.
