The captain in charge of Sony’s camera division most have fallen asleep while leaving a PDF file of their upcoming products right out in the open at internet cafe with free WiFi where tech bloggers and reporters like to hang out. Today’s leak is an interesting one because it begins to wrap up the last 6 months of Sony and their camera division. For some time now, we’ve been reporting about the NEX-5 successor and the idea of an NEX-7. Both cameras were originally destined to land in retailers by August but due to the devastating earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan, products from the electronic giant were delayed as they worked hard to restore factories to operational status again. Today’s information might not be as nicely detailed as we usually provide but when it comes to these matters, we take the information we can while a nicer press release is then eventually formulated from Sony. So let’s kick things off with a bullet overview as the information is scattered all over.

Camera:

• The A77 will be 24 megapixels
• The A65 will be 24 megapixels as well but with less fps (frames per second)
• NEX-5N will replace the NEX-5 with an updated sensor
• NEX-VG-20 is here to replace the NEX-VG10 (video camera)
• LA-EA2 with built-in Translucent mirror (a new camera model, based off of the Leica Visoflex?)
• XGA external OLED viewfinder will only be NEX-5N (and maybe NEX-7) capable which is an accessory attachment
• Vertical Grip VG-C77AM (added grip for the A77 with extended battery capabilities)
