SAN DIEGO, Aug. 24, 2011 ?? Sony is taking professional quality imaging and artistic shooting options to new levels with the introduction of the new ? NEX?7 camera. Styled in magnesium alloy for strength and designed with a unique blend of classic and modern inspiration, the new compact interchangeable lens model weighs only 10.3 ounces (291g).
“For Sony, the new NEX?7 represents innovation in its purest form,” said Kelly Davis, vice president of digital imaging at Sony Electronics. “Speed and style meet performance and control, creating a shooting experience unlike anything in market today.”
The NEX?7 camera features a new ExmorTM APS HD CMOS sensor with 24.3 effective megapixel resolution – highest in its class ?? that complements the latest generation of Sony’s BIONZ® image processing engine. This unique combination of sensor and processor technology delivers flawless image and HD video quality with very low noise and exceptionally fast shooting responses. An ultra?high sensitivity range extends from ISO 100?16000, making it easy to capture clean, low?noise images in dimly lit interiors or exteriors.
The NEX?7 camera includes an integrated flash system and also features an Auto?lock Accessory Shoe for advanced shooting applications, both of which are firsts for Sony’s E?mount line of cameras. The shoe supports the full range of Alpha flashes and monitors, as well as adaptors to accommodate studio lighting. The LCS?ELC7 soft carrying case combines a snug?fitting body case and leather lens jacket to help protect the body and lens from scratches and dust. It’s complemented by the STP?XH70 shoulder strap, made of the same material.
