Sony sure had a lot of problems getting the NEX-7 to market, but fortunately for the outfit the camera is now on track to become available at the end of February.

Going for Sony’s flagship interchangeable lens camera will set you back $1,350 (1,043 EUR) for the 18-55mm kit version, while for another $1,300 you could also get the 24mm F.1.8 prime lens made by Carl Zeiss.

Pocket Lint uncovered that Amazon would also carry the kit along with a small discount, but you’ll have to wait a few more days to get it as the retailer won’t start shipping it until March 16.

As many of you know, the NEX-7 has a 24.3-megapixel sensor, can shoot AVCHD video, and can also capture up to 10fps in burst mode, making it one of the most powerful ILC cameras around.
