Sony has expanded its NEX line with the new NEX-C3 camera. Sony claims it as the world’s smallest and lightest digital camera with interchangeable lens that weighs just 225g. NEX Series is known for its ease of use with variety of features and gives DSLR-like quality with the help of APS HD CMOS sensor that is capable to take pictures at up to 16.2 megapixels or record video up to 720p.
The camera also features a tilt-able 3-inch Xtra Fine LCD; new Photo Creativity Interface to make it easier with ‘technical jargons’ for novice users; a real-time Picture Effect to shoot an image or video with effects like Partial Colour; Retro Photo; Pop Colour; High Contrast Monochrome; Posterisation; High-key and Toy Camera; 3D Sweep Panorama; HDMI mini connector and more.
Just like the previous NEX cameras, the NEX-C3 is also compatible with A-mount lenses with the help of adapter.
For professional photographers, Sony also announced the A35 from the Alpha series with Translucent Mirror technology that allows high-speed shooting as well as continuous autofocus in image and video mode.
The A35 is equipped with a 16.2MP Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor, which means better looking pictures even in low-light scenarios. One feature that is newly introduced is Tele-zoom high speed shooting that magnifies a central portion of an image by 1.4x while shooting at 7fps.
Additionally, the camera comes with 1080i HD video recording support in AVHCD format, electronic viewfinder, 3-inch Xtra Fine LCD, 1200-zon evaluative measuring, Sweep Panorama 2D and 3D, auto HDR and more.
