Lots of rumors are circulating these days about the upcoming Sony NEX-6/7 successor, and it seems that the new E-mount mirrorless camera will be called A6000.

According to SonyAlphaRumors, the A6000 will be the only interchangeable lens camera to be announced by the PlayStation maker at this year's CP+ Camera & Photo Imaging Show in Yokohama, Japan.

Moreover, it seems that the Sony A6000 will look quite similar with its predecessor, the NEX-6 model, but will pack an improved 24MP sensor with PDAF (Phase Detection Autofocus) and a faster BIONZ processor.

The same source also states that Sony might be preparing a surprise for the Photokina show in September, including a redesigned A6000 camera to resemble the NEX-7 model.

As far as the A-mount A77 successor goes, it seems that the Nippon manufacturer will delay its announcement until next month, but new A-mount and E-mount models will also be introduced in April at the NAB show in Las Vegas.
