Delayed ot nor delayed, that’s the question! (Need some help from my sources)
Over one month ago our sources told us that the NEX-3 and the A33 would be replaced by new slightly improved models. Sony recently discontinued both models making us believe the replacement would be imminent. But the very latest info we received from our sources do describe a very bad scenario for Sony plants in Japan. We have been told that during the last three weeks not a single sensor has been produced in Sony Japanese plants. As we told you on Friday there are two problems:
1) There are many aftershocks and every earthquake that is bigger than 5 point Richter automatically stops the production
2) Energy supply is very limited
Even Howard Stringer (CEO of Sony) said that the iPhone 5 will be release will be postponed because of sensor supply problems (Source: 9to5mac)! UPDATE: Our sources confirmed that the next iPhone will feature a Sony 8 Megapixel camera sensor.
The big question now is: Will the NEX-C3 and A35 announcement be delayed?
I have been told by one source that there have been a very last minute change. Some products that should have been announced before the NAB show in Las Vegas will be delayed. We don’t know yet if this includes the NEX-3 and A35. This is a very last minute decision and I ask my sources if they can send me more info about that.
And I guess that also other future Sony products could be delayed (I hope this will nto apply to the A77!).
If you have some info to share about that drop me a mail at sonyalpharumors@gmail.com or use the contact form on the right sidebar. You can avoid to send me your name and mail address. It also doesn’t store your IP-address (you are 100% anonymous). Would be nice if you can at least send me a fake name so that I can recognize you in future. Thanks!

3 years ago |c3 and A35 will be assemble in thailand. they have some unit manufactured, but cut off from sensor supply. so sony decide not to launch it first.
A77 has less priority compare to c3, A35… A77 will be launch at Q3 anyway. c3 A35 was suppose to be Q2.
why not just scrap Q2, and focus on Q3? plssssssssssss

Decided to hold off on the NEX-5 a few months ago until I see how the looks are of this new one. Would love to have buttons to play around with so by the description, I should be into the C-5. If not, there will probably be a price drop for the NEX-5 as well

3 years ago |Yes, Jav, I am waiting for the same thing… either significant features on the new yet to be announced Sony NEX C3, and or a price drop on the Sony NEX 5. I am thinking of getting the 2 lens bundle with 16mm and 18-55mm lens. Best price on Nex 5 for bundle as of today is about $800.

I am in the market to but either a Sony NEX 5 or the new Sony NEX C3. I have a NEX 5 lined up but am waiting to see if the C3 offers significant improvements. My finger is on the trigger. I am watching…
