More Details About the NEX-C3

Silve Sony NEX-C3 with 16mm Pancake Lens

Details about the new Sony Alpha NEX-C3, which replaces the NEX-3.

• There will be three (3) model designations:
  • NEX-C3A with the 16mm Pancake Lens
  • NEX-C3K with the 18-55mm Zoom OSS Lens
  • NEX-C3D with both the 16mm Pancake and the 18-55mm Zoom Lens
• The APS-C sensor as written on the NEX-C3 body is 16.2 MP which produces a 4912 x 3264 pixel image. The NEX-3 produces a 4592 X 3056 pixel image.
• The Sony NEX-C3 will ship with the new NEX firmware version 04 which includes:
• Focus Peaking
• Picture Effects
• The location of the memory card has been moved from the battery compartment. It now resides in a separate compartment closer to the center of the camera.
• The NEX-C3 will ship with the standard NEX flash and not the larger flash in this picture. This confirms that the older NEX-3 and NEX-5 can accept the larger flash.
• As we predicted the left and right direction of the wheel is now customizable. This gives us five buttons to to tailor the NEX-C3's user interface to our needs.

This is all from a Czech version of the NEX-C3 manual which we learned of from our friends at Sony Alpha Rumours. We do not speak Czech so it's a rough translation.
