Sony NEX vs MicroFourThirds size comparison
blog.livedoor.jp compared the size between the NEX and the GF1
Anyway keep in mind that the NEX images are not real images. But this guys are usually good in “recreating” the camera design based on leaks and rumors. Well done!

4 years ago |Hmm.. I am not sure about this.
in this pictures the sony lens mount would be as big as the 20mm panasonic (63mm).
I hope that it is true that the 16mm prime has a diameter of 49mm.. than the camera should not be that big..
my guess would be around 10cm*5cm*3cm.

4 years ago |This is wild speculation. The whole thing seems to be based on Alpha mount bayonet outer diameter.
1. NEX will not use full frame Alpha mount but a smaller crop size mount. I doubt sony will provision for full frame NEX
2. The outer diameter has varied with different cameras. notably sony increased it over the older Minolta
3. The camera size seems to be extrapolated from proportions of the mocks which we know will have little in common with the real thing
4. Perhaps sony will need some space above and below the bayonet like Olympus do – than again provided that the bayonet is much smaller than depicted….
completely bogus.

4 years ago |I believe the lens mount is pop out of the body about 0.5-1cm. which some of the silver area is a part of the mount but not the pancake lens. So far, I did not see if NEX ever advertise its thickness and any information about the mount. anyone can confirm this?

4 years ago |hmm…that mount doesn’t really look like it’ll accommodate a future FF sensor… bummer, that was the thing I was hoping for… another crop cam, meh, pass. Sony could have really shaken things up by taking digital FF into RF size territory while retaining modern features like FF and video. Oh well, I guess thats what I can call coming up short

4 years ago |hmmm… just took a look at pics of the M9 with its shutter open and maybe, just maybe this mount will still be able to acomodate an FF sensor… boy I really hope I get proven wrong by Sony and they come out with a rockin’ FF (with a BIG EVF and in body IS) NEX within the year. Now that will definitely get them market share… at that point I can think of quite a few people that would say, screw pany and oly (and maybe even one of their dSLRs) and go with the NEX and some sony/zeiss (or maybe some M-mount) glass. I know I would seriously consider just completely switching to such a portable FF rig (but only if there is a very nice EVF so I can still see through the lens like with an SLR for macro, etc… in body IS would just make it a dream).

4 years ago |When you look at the NEX mount with the sensor inside and compare to the M9 and Samsung NX10, it seems that Sony certainly went with a large mount. It’s definitely larger than the NX10′s mount, which is around 39mm, if I remember correctly. There are three reasons this is a good thing: possibility of future fullframe, designing better performing lenses with larger image circle, and the possibility of adapters for M mount.

4 years ago |GH, as we all know M9 is fullframe and has smaller (Leica M) mount. So why would a larger mount be a benefit on NEX? Mount doesn’t have to be that big for FF image circle.

4 years ago |I don’t believe these cameras are in proportion. The E-P2 should be about 121mm wide and the image shows it about 230 pixels wide. If the proportions hold true, that means the sensor portrayed in the NEX camera is 27x18mm. I’m guessing the sensor would be the same 1.5x crop APS-C sony sensor which should be about 23.4×15.6mm. So either the NEX camera should be about 85% of the portrayed size, or the sensor to body ratio is off. At any rate, this picture doesn’t portray things accurately.

4 years ago |devorama is right. When you scale the sensor to 23.4 x 15.6 mm in Photoshop, you get 103 x 57 mm as dimensions (L x H) of the camera. You heard it here first, folks
!
That is more in line with 50 mm prime lens diameter and the pub photo from couple of days ago.
