Rumour: Sony launching speedy system camera next week
According to (usually trustworthy) site Sony Alpha Rumors, Sony is to announce a successor to its NEX-6 and NEX-7 compact system cameras next Wednesday, 12th February. And the focus (pun intended) with the new model will be on speed: expect a faster autofocus, lag-free electronic viewfinder, faster continuous shooting and most likely a new BIONZ processor. We’ll know if this one checks out soon enough.
