Engadget likes the NEX-C3 and “we undoubtedly plan to purchase it ourselves”
Engadget makes no mistery and does confess they absolutely fell in love with the Sony NEX-C3! You can read their full review here: http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/20/sony-alpha-nex-c3-review/. That is the part I do like most: “We have an opportunity to test an enormous variety of gadgets each year, including dozens of point-and-shoot and DSLR cameras. Seldom, however, do we come across a device that we undoubtedly plan to purchase ourselves. The Sony NEX-C3 is one of few exceptions — in fact, we’re even considering outfitting every member of the Engadget team with one of these compact, versatile ILCs once they hit stores next month.”

2 years ago |It is basically not about NEX3. Andrea, I have a question regarding CZ lenses. Is Sony planing to upgrade 85mm and 135mm CZ lenses and add them SSM focusing? It is also regarding new E to A-mount adapter which obvious will be only SSM lens compatible.

2 years ago |now that you mention it…It wasn’t supposed to be new A-mount lenses announcements on August along the new Alpha cameras?

2 years ago |“The tradeoff, however, is that these cams use a unique sensor(talking about µFT), which is significantly smaller than the APS-C sensor used in the NEX-C3. The result is a slower focusing system, mediocre low light performance, and a noticeable difference in overall image quality.”Sensor size has nothing to do with autofocus and all new µFT(GH2, G3, EP3…) cameras have faster autofocus than nex.

2 years ago |I would totally get one myself if there were 24mm and 30mm pancakes and also 50mm and 85mm primes.
I need fisheye/16/24/30/50/85 for a complete aps-c kit. I may have to wait 7 years for that though!

2 years ago |Good image quality but I need AE bracketing and a wired remote that works from the back of the camera.
A real fisheye would be a plus but there are fisheye lenses that can be adapted…..

2 years ago |Then you’re expecting features you won’t find in a camera like this.
You’re not going to get a full SLR in such a small format and you can’t have everything.
You’ve got a compact camera with great image quality and flexibility that you can put in a pocket. I don’t see the NEX as an SLR replacement. I see it as an improved P&S that can do some bokeh and low light shooting with the bigger sensor.

2 years ago |NEX C3 has a two lens + SD card+ case bundle sold in Asia and UK, but not USA? Why not?! Perhaps Sony is trying to unload the older Nex 3 and 5 in the USA market.
Simon
2 years ago |I wonder why Engadget did not buy a NEX 5 for each team member after last year’s announcement? Or, in other words: how much did Sony pay for that review?
REVENGE
2 years ago |It did seem to score unusually high marks, but then again Engadget isn’t really an authoritative camera review site. Many of their reviews in other categories also tend to be inconsistent.
Kralin
2 years ago |It is obvious that sony payed a lot for this review.
I think it’s the worst review I’ve ever read about a digital camera…
