Sony NEX-5R and NEX-6 images leaked

Earlier this morning, there was this particular rumor that went around, touting that Sony might just roll out a full frame NEX camera – but here we are with leaked images of the Sony NEX-5R and NEX-6, now how about that? These images came courtesy of Chinese site VR-Zone, and while the images have yet to be verified, they are certainly quite close to the real deal if you were to take it with a grain of salt, and it does seem as though Sony’s design team have managed to wade into a slightly different territory – with a more adventurous spirit, of course.

The NEX-5R has been touted to continue from where the Sony NEX-5N left off, figuring out a somewhat similar basic form factor albeit with the addition of a dial up top, not to mention a Fn button that does resemble the one which you can see on the NEX-7. Chances are the increase in physical controls will thrill budding enthusiasts, and when you couple that with rumors of a new 16-megapixel sensor underneath the hood, you might have a winner here.
