No compatability for 350 & 650!
Doesn't look like the 300 & 600 covers will work with the 350 & 650.
The 650 is 6 7/8" high vs 6 5/8". That's enough of a difference to make the Sony cover attachment not fit. I applaud progress, but it would be nice not to have to replace everything when upgrading. I guess Sony hasn't learned from their DSLR division that it is an important factor, for many, when considering an upgrade. Maybe someone will develop an adapter to make the old cover work? Also, the proper Sony AC adapter is 5.2v & USB is 5v. Don't know if that will be an impediment to adapting the current adapter for use with the 350/650 micro USB connection. I assume that the ckt in the 350/650 would handle the 5.2v, but if they have a sensing ckt it may not work.
I had considered getting a PRS-650, primarily for the new screen, but the deal with the accessories will stop me.
Cheers,
