with the production of NEX-3 and NEX-5, NEX-C3 opened a Sony second generation micro-single-camera era. If paragraph 2 of the first generation models display the Sony APS-c size sensors and portable camera of combining intent, then smaller and lighter NEX-C3 in this point farther.
Sony is now in the micro-single-camera market benefit from up to one of the manufacturers, but compared to their ambitions, currently micro-single-camera on impact to traditional digital SLR market is still enough. There is no doubt that Sony has a very good chance, their professional abilities and from the Cyber-Shot portable digital camera through the acquisition of kenika·Mei can get interchangeable-lens technology combined for more success.
compared with the previous, NEX-C3 more stressed the convenience of Sony portable cameras and large-size sensor as a result of the combination of high-quality intent. Despite the use of large-size sensor, NEX-C3 in size, you can still challenge the small M4/3 camera. NEX cameras in portability only limit is the standard set of machines on the lens.
in addition to the smaller dimensions, NEX-C3 another place that deserves our attention is the 16.2 million pixel CMOS sensor. Although the A55 and Sony and other cameras with 16.2 million pixels, but the sensor has been redesigned in terms of energy consumption has increased, while Sony provide a low noise and excellent temperature characteristics. Compared with the previous, although using the same NP-FW50 battery, but life up to 400.
Sony NEX line has been expressed to develop in two directions--for portable digital camera users to take the easy route and for enthusiasts of perfect control of the road, not hard to see what is NEX-C3. As Panasonic has decided to shrink and simplify its g and GF series cameras, Sony's target user is very clear--pursue SLR-class picture quality but do not want to carry a bulky camera users, and those who like to take pictures but do not want to spend too much time studying photography theory of population.
