And did you notice that Sony moved the instant-video button on the NEX-7 Jr, the NEX-6? Also, they've announced a 3x telescoping "pancake" zoom for the E mount that's only slightly longer/thicker than the 16mm prime lens. With that, the NEX-7 with a 3x zoom might become jacket-pocketable. Although, after having walked around multiple sites and towns for many hours over two weeks in Provence last spring, I do like the way the camera with the weight of the current 18-55 balances so that it dangles securely from the fingertips curled under the grip, always at the ready. Very convenient and very handy as one walks along. With a wrist strap, which was never actually "needed". ?howard On Nov 24, 2012, at 4:46 PM, Adam Bridge <abridge at mac.com> wrote: > I know there are some of us that use the NEX-7 and are really REALLY > bugged about the damn video button. > > Sony has released a firmware update that allows the video record button to > be disabled.
