Sony has announced a new compact system camera to slot into its NEX range. The NEX-7 features a 24.3 megapixel sensor and the world's fastest release time lag.

The camera is styled from magnesium alloy, which also allows it to be lightweight.

ISO is available between ISO 100-16,000, while ultra-quick response times mean that the shutter release lag is just 0.02 seconds – the fastest of any interchangeable lens digital camera in the world.

Precise autofocus is enhanced by new Object Tracking to keep accurate focus lock on a selected target, even when it's moving in the frame.

A new TRINAVI control features two control dials on the top of the camera which is complemented by a control wheel. The navigation button allows for quick flicking through various shooting modes which allows for custom adjustments.

Electronic viewfinder

The NEX-7 is the world's first compact camera that features an XGA OLED TruFinder. The electronic viewfinder offers 100 per cent frame coverage along with a wide field of view. On-screen grid lines and a level gauge can be displayed for accurate framing.

On the rear of the camera is a 7.5cm (3 inch) Xtra Fine LCD that can be angled up to 90 degrees or 45 degrees down.

Full HD movies can be recorded, with the option to use 50p or 25p frame rates. Object Tracking also allows for moving subjects to be tracked accurately.

In video shooting, manual focus is now available along with P/A/S/M exposure modes.

The NEX-7 is capable of capturing images at 10fps, the world's fastest burst shooting speed of any mirrorless interchangeable lens camera.

Creative modes

11 modes and 15 effects including HDR Painting, Soft Focus, Miniature and Rich-Tone Mono are now available. 3D Sweep Panorama, Soft Skin, Auto HDR, Handheld Twilight and Anti Motion Blur modes are brought over from previous NEX models.

The world's first mount adapter with built-in Translucent Mirror technology, the LA-EA2 allows almost all of the A-mount lenses to work with phase-detection AF on the NEX-7.

The Sony NEX-7 UK release date is November 2011. Pricing is yet to be confirmed.
