If the rumors we are getting are correct than we can expect a new Sony NEX stuff announcement in mid May! Sony will announce the new Sony NEX-F3 and a new zoom lens. The current NEX-C3 is already discontinued at BHphoto (Click here). I have no specs about the zoom lens yet but I have been told it will not be spectacular 🙁 Too bad, I reall like some of the NEX cameras but there are only two lenses I really like. The 50mm f/1.8 and the Zeiss 24mm f/1.8. I want more of them!
The NEX-C3 is getting some price drops here and there. Here are some search links to .

Would this have an electronic first curtain shutter like the 5N and the 7?
If it will, then it is worth considering (for me). The little C3 is simply awesome with old LTM lenses. No corner issues like the 7 and no need to hang huge lenses like the E 50/1.8 or the 24/1.8 on it.
DOn’t know it yet. But I have been told the camera is absolutely great!!!
I got an NEX-5N a couple of weeks ago. The kit lens lives down to its reputation as being soft, particularly in the corners wide open. Even if it covers the exact same range and is no faster an improved version is overdue.
I really like the camera so far and even with the limitations of the lens I am getting noticeably better results than with the Olympus EPL2 I tried and sold last year. The NEX series deserves a better kit lens.
The nex needs some damn lenses, the fuji needs some new af and the m43 needs to break impressions of a ‘small’ sensor.
Could make one amazing camera together!
Collapsible zoom would be fantastic replacement for the current model. Hope it still has OSS though unlike Samsung 20-50mm.
The NEX system seems to get more unappealing each day. If you want the best mirrorless IQ, there’s Fuji. If you want everything else, go m43. NEX-7 IQ is only marginally better than the latest m43 model from everything I’ve seen.
I recall their road map had a fast standard listed- what I imagine will be a 35 1.8 OIS. Wish it was next.
