Now that Sony has launched their A7 full frame cameras, does anybody have any news on the possibility of a new NEX 7 APS-C camera being released in the the near future?
Many thanks

I am also waiting to hear of a replacement for the NEX-7, especially now that Zeiss has brought out a new Tessar 16 to 70mm lens for the NEX range.

There are rumors, but only rumors. I too am waiting to hear.

When the new a7 and a7r come out in November, the NEX series will be put to sleep.

Nex line is dead. That is all. They are committed to the Alpha line up now 100% but have killed the NEX lineup. You can view the announcement:

They will be merging divisions and NEX was swallowed by Alpha. Makes sense.

The NEX-7 is being replaced right now (as we speak, so to say). The new a7 (24MP) and the new a7r (36.3MP) are the models to replace the existing (older NEX-7). There are hands-on-reviews out there, but no in depth-review yet. Sony also introduced a new 70-200mm/2.8 in sync with these two models, but it's a bit pricey (at $3000.00).I am also waiting to hear of a replacement for the NEX-7, especially now that Zeiss has brought out a new Tessar 16 to 70mm lens for the NEX range.

It's my understanding that the Nex name is being dropped but the line will continue with a different ID. I have a 7 & a5 and recently added the 16-70 and am happy with all. I have an D800 which gives me FF and high mpl although I shoot more images with the Nex. The combination works for me.
Another thought, the e mount lenses designed for FF will work fine on APC as they will be well inside the image circle only danger is larger size - however, Sony is trying to keep lenses smaller on their new bodies.

Thank you I believe it has been renamed the ILCE range of cameras! What is concerning me is when is a replacement likely to happen! There have been a number of reductions on the current NEX 7 and I do not wish to purchase something that is about to be superseded.
