Photos of Sony’s next NEX camera have leaked onto the internet. It’s called the NEX-C3, and it looks like a slightly rounded out version of the existing NEX-3 and NEX-5, as if these cameras had spent the last year eating potato chips and playing Angry Birds on the sofa.
The NEX lineup is Sony’s mirrorless range, which puts SLR-sized APS-C sensors into usually slim bodies with interchangeable lenses. The NEX-3 and NEX-5 both launched on May 11th last year, after several pictures had already leaked out.
The NEX-C3 adds a flip-out screen, which likely accounts for most of the extra girth (it wasn’t really potato chips), packs stereo mics and has a 16.2 megapixel sensor. It also shoots HD video, but as we can’t read any numbers on the pictures, we’ll assume it is 720p like the NEX-3.
Will the NEX-C3 replace the existing NEX-3? Unlikely. I see quite a lot of tourists (mostly from Sony’s home, Japan) carrying the little NEX cameras here in Barcelona, and part of their popularity probably comes form their tiny size. The flip-out screen makes the body a little too thick, so my guess is that we may also see a NEX-C5, and the existing models will either remain unchanged, or see their own updates soon.
