Rumors are flying about a 'pro NEX' and I suppose that would mean a full-frame model...thoughts?
No evf here but: NEX with (LTM) 12/5.6, 15/4.5, 2.5cm f/4, 3.5cm f/3.5 for waist level shooting (AKA "hipshooting" with some blind cameras). The 6 with an EVF will allow for portrait and the use of fast lenses. A FF NEX would be even better.I am using a leica 35mm 3.5 Summaron on my 5n with EVF. Brilliant combo. Sony NEX fits that bill. It already is a Leica M killer
I think you're right on the lenses, but the E-mount just seems big enough to cover FF (See here on PhotoClubAlpha)if a FF nex does come out, the e-mount will need to be revised, not only will the mount have to be larger to take into account the larger sensor, also all the current E-mount lens will not work with this sensor without cropping.
This may be 'the' comment so far. A full frame mirrorless doesn't have to be a NEX and doesn't have to use E mount.Not sure it's even a nex....

If it is the rumored P&S cam, RX1, I will not be buying the NEX-6 either.This may be 'the' comment so far. A full frame mirrorless doesn't have to be a NEX and doesn't have to use E mount.
Same here ...I hope for a surprise from Hasselblad soon, although the pricing can cause a problem.
Kinda funny to hear that of the Sony R1, which was one of the bulkiest sub-FourThirds sensor cameras around. That big Zeiss zoom was marvelous, but the camera overall came out to be about the size of a Hasselblad 500 with Sonnar 150mm lens on it.Rumor is it will be $2799, which isn't all that crazy, considering the price of the Nex-7 and Zeiss 24/1.8.
The beauty of a fixed lens camera is that you can reduce lens size considerably by incorporating lens elements into the actual camera body, right up against the sensor, like the X100 and old Sony R1. An interchangeable, fullframe NEX would have much larger native lenses.
