Review based on a production NEX-C3 with firmware 01 The NEX-C3 is the first of Sony's second generation of mirrorless cameras, following the introduction of the 14MP NEX-3 and NEX-5 in mid-2010.

Sony Alpha NEX-C3 Review: 1. Introduction

If these first two models showed how committed Sony is to offering APS-C capabilities in a compact form factor, the point is underlined by the arrival of the still-smaller C3. Sony is one of the companies with most to gain from a widespread adoption of mirrorless cameras.
