Sony EA50 Camera

Sony announces yet another new camera, the NEX-EA50UH, with a large sensor built into a camera body with the ergonomics of the EX-3.  It comes with the a Power Zoom 18-200mm lens that features a motorized zoom, auto-iris, auto-focus and Steadi-Shot.  The bad news on this lens is the f stop is variable between f3.5-6.3 but because the EA50 has an E mount you can use an adapter to use EF lenses and other better lenses.


Is this the replacement for the EX-3?  Maybe.  Is this the DSLR killer, a large sensor camera you can put on your shoulder and only costs $4500 bucks?  Maybe.


I'm going thru the growing pains of building an ergonomic kit for my FS700 so I'm jealous of the controls on the side and you can throw it on your shoulder right out of the box.  But while you do get XLR's in you don't get SDI out, only HDMI.  And no ND filters!  After suffering with no ND filters on DSLR's that's probably a deal breaker for me...
