{?>Sony NEX cameras

Lens
Lens body is using two motors. One is electromagnetic and completely mute so that it will not record the motor sounds during film-recoridng.
Originally the Alpha lens adapter was planned to support contrast type AF. But because of complications it has been removed. It Future firmware updates could add autofocus support!

LCD and Menu
LCD automatically adjust brightness sensing external light source.
The LCD has 55% more brightness than the LCD from the Sony A550  (contrast is also higher).
NEX5 face recognition can distinguish between adults and children faces.
The NEX menu interface has been designed by Sony Ericsson mobile phone unit (to ensure ease of use).
Storage
Unlimited recording time!

3D
The future new “3D video” function will be added via firmware update in July. But only 3D Bravia will play it. P.S.: please note that I said 3D VIDEO not 3D panorama

Production and Marketing
The NEX system will be produced in a new plant in Thailand. There will be no reduction of the Alpha system production.
Sony DSLR offensive will focus on Europe.
Sonys goal is to sell 10 million worldwide NEX cameras.
