Its an EA50 coupled with Sony's just released $3,500.00 lens.

Naw, that's just the regular 18-105mm that comes with the FS5. I always found these EA50s interesting for their price point. When you need a few high-sensitivity cameras but don't have a huge budget.

No that's the same lens as the "m" it must include something else. Maybe the hard drive?

Still say this is what it looks like to me. Thats why there is no price. The lens is more than the body. Same EA50, just offered with a new lens at no discount I am guessing:

The photo on the product page indicates otherwise, that's the 18-105mm, it wouldn't make sense for sony to combine this camera with the 3,5k 18-110mm lens, especially because sony labels this camera as entry level. No-one would buy this.

I think they are throwing the remote or the hard drive recorder or both. We'ok see

It's just an attempt from Sony to resurrect a otherwise dying model, just trow in a accessory or other lens, give it's name a new suffix and bam! new model, new price. :) If they would give the camera a new 4K capable sensor or one that is optimized for video it would be worth looking into but now, nah, not really.

I personally would be on board if they either put the chip in it from the ARs II OR made a A-psc 28-104 at 2.8 and included it. OR both :)

Since I seem to be the last guy in the universe still shooting with two EA50s I am curious about this. I have searched it several times to no avail. I think Noa is right about an accessory or some gimmick.

When I copy the new model number and paste it in B&H search box it changes to a lens hood!

Anyway....still loving my cameras and plan to keep going until my clients ask for 4K.

Steve im with ya I am loving my cameras although I am thinking about small. It looks like the AR6500 and FDR-AX100 have the same chip I was thinking about using my current lenses and using the AR-6500 for detailed stuff and the FDR for my bread and butter stuff. I guess in threory I could get the same pix with less weight and more flexibility also I could go 4K if I wanted.

That photo looks like the EA50M. Looks like the 18-105 lens on the EA50 to me.

Hey Steven, I still have my EA50U so you are not the ONLY one left, lol :)
