Normally, we wouldn't say that a thousand dollars is agreeable, let alone cheap, but Sony's NEX-6 might wind up being considered thus, for a while, by people familiar with those two beasts revealed a short time ago.

NEX-6 is an interchangeable lens camera that uses a 16.1-megapixel image sensor and can record Full HD video (1080p).

Like the Cyber-shot and A99, it uses Sony's Bionz image processor, as well as a wide ISO range (up to 25,600 sensitivity).

The full list of specifications can be read on Sony's website, and there are two versions of the product: one with 16-50mm Lens and one without.

Expected to ship starting November 2012, the former is priced at $999.95 / 774 Euro, while the latter has a tag of $849.99 / 659 Euro. Special lenses will ship alongside them, though one might take a bit longer in arriving.
