Although Sony clearly had the consumer market in mind when it created the NEX-C3, enthusiast photographers shouldnt dismiss the camera.The fully customisable buttons help improve the handling over the first-generation NEX models, although another couple...
Picture quality: noise management, depth of field, Compact design, Good 720p video mode (optical zoom, stereo sound), VGA LCD screen with vertical tilt, Fast autofocus, sweep panorama mode
Battery life is a bit disappointing, Noisy shutterrelease, Not many lenses to choose from, No builtin stabilisation or flash (separate accessory included), Handling could still be better
With its compact, lightweight design, responsive electronics, vertical tilt screen and large-format 16-Megapixel APS-C sensor, the Sony Alpha NEX-C3 has got a lot going for it. It's just a shame that the 18-55 mm lens is still a bit disappointing. The ...
Abstract: Sony has added the NEX-C3 to its range of mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras. The C3 features the same 16.2MP seen in the SLT A35, again promising improved battery life. The latest model is directly aimed at offering a compact-camera-like experience ...

Abstract: The C3 marks the beginning of Sony's second generation of mirrorless, interchangeable lens camera under the NEX brand. Same as the NEX-3 and NEX-5 announced some 13 months ago, the NEX-C3 targets the compact digital camera users who are looking to upgrade...
excellent image quality, sensor size comparable to most consumer SLR cameras, more portable than a fullon SLR rig but as friendly to use as a pocket camera, Sony going for compatibility: video mode records in MP4 instead of AVCHD, camera takes SD in addit
limited selection of lenses in the Sony Emount range thus far, bundled external flash is fiddly and probably won't be mounted when you need it, form factor a little awkward, might take getting used to, image stabilization not built into the body, only on
