Sony α NEX-6
Features include 16.1-megapixel sensor, fast hybrid AF and OLED viewfinder
New Interchangeable Lenses for α E-mount Cameras
Sony
has also introduced three new lenses for its E-mount line of
interchangeable lens cameras, adding to the system's flexibility.
The new SELP1650 lens is an extremely light, compact 16-50mm F3.5-5.6
powered zoom model that measures only 29.9 mm thick (when fully
retracted) and contains built-in Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization
for clearer handheld images.
Additionally, it features a
dual-function ring that controls both power zoom and manual focus,
depending on the camera's focus mode. With the camera set to AF the
control ring adjusts smooth, high-speed zoom with small hand movements.
With the camera in MF mode, the ring controls manual focus. A smooth
power zoom dial makes the lens particularly useful for shooting video.
The
new SEL35F18 lens is a wide aperture 35mm focal length model with a
bright maximum aperture of f/1.8 and built-in Optical SteadyShot image
stabilization. It offers excellent optical sharpness, clarity, and
background defocus in both still images and HD video, and is
exceptionally light and easy to carry.
The new SEL1018 lens is a
super-wide angle zoom with a maximum aperture of f/4.0 across its range
of 10-18mm and built-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilization.
Adopting the super ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass which reduces color
aberration, the lens is capable of producing dramatic perspective
effects and is ideal for shooting landscapes and interiors.
New accessories for NEX-6
The
new stylish, leather LCS-ELC6 Soft Carrying Case is designed
exclusively for use with the NEX-6 camera and attached SELP1650 or
SEL16F28 lens. While attached, the case still allows use of a tripod as
well as the camera's LCD screen to be tilted.
The new LCS-EJA
Soft Carrying Case can be used for all α E-mount cameras, and is ideal
for use with the new SELP1650 or SEL16F28 lens attached. It has
internal pockets for storage of the lens cap as well as a spare memory
card.
Pricing and Availability
The NEX-6 compact system camera
will be available this November in a kit with the SELP1650 power zoom
lens for about $1,000. It will also be offered as body-only for about
$850.
