The until today very unkown chinese website Yangcanggih (Click here) leaked a full set of picture of the new NEX-F3 that is going to be unveiled in mid May. Cpmpared to the NEX-C3 the camera looks like to be thicker due the new 180 degree tiltable LCD screen. Plus a new grip. Looks like Sony miniaturization war is over! CLick on the thumbnails below to enlarge the picture.

Bigger but still with very few buttons.
Isn’t it just less rounded, and with more useful grip ?
With possibly bigger battery in that grip.
Don’t think it is bigger at all at least not in use.
Like a nex7 with few buttons and control…… Wounder the selling price of this model promise enough or not….
But beside of that , for the camera of prosumer dc and above but not dslr , the ILC which able to flip screen 180degree is the Panasonic G series and and Canon G12 . It will be great if Sony introduce a consumer class ILC with 180 degree flip screen which made easy self portrait.
This is an INDONESIAN WEBSITE, NOT a CHINESE WEBSITE.
Plus your link is broken too.
LOL! how many of their lenses are usable for self-portrait? One?
Five. The 16mm F2.8, the 24mm F1.8, the 30mm F3.5 and both of the Sigma e-mount lenses (19mm and 30mm) would do the job too.
How ugly this time!
I like this, actually. Better sensor, 180 screen (with touch?), built-in flash, NEX-5-like grip – all solid improvements. Larger body size will improve handling, too. Someone at Sony is listening.
zzz no hotshoe
Has a built-in flash. Nice. 🙂
“Miniaturization war over”?
Sony never was in this miniaturization. Take a look their useful lenses for the NEX. LOL.
Tilt only LCD: Thumbs down!
No hotshoe: Down again!
No shutter remote possibility: Two thumbs down!
The NEX-C3 is a bargain! 😉
It has an accessory port for using the external NEX flash. No need for a hotshoe for the people this is aimed at.
Tilt only, but it does 180 for self portrait pictures, perfect for the people it’s aimed at.
No shutter remote won’t matter for the target audience. There’s still the 2/10sec timer. That’s why they incorporated the built in flash, less extra stuff to carry around, this is an all in one package aimed at a specific target audience.
You fail at understanding marketing.
How Sony can make something such ugly????
Samsung did a similar 180 tilt screen a year ago on a point and shoot camera which looks 10x sexier. But hey, this was probably marketed for asian girls anyway,
LOL, you said it is for asian girls, yet you find the Samsung to be sexier. I guess you’re just a non-asian girl with different taste. Since when real photographer care about the look. I know I don’t care about this camera because it’s probably still too small to hold comfortably in my hand.
I dont care about ugly (but does not look particulaly ugly to me), or lack of hot-shoe.
I do care about a real and hefty grip. A big, thumbs up for that from me.
Against the immediate competetion (J1, GF5, EPL3) the NEX-F3 looks as a winner.
.
Quickly handled current NEX-3 two weeks ago and comfort of its grip was barely above piece of soap (even surface is too smooth&slippery) so bigger grip would be definitely good thing… though neither NEX-7 has good grip.
Dude, stop asking for bigger grips. It’s not a dslr. Soon as they stick a fat dslr grip on those things, the camera will tank. dont forget, sony bought minolta, and minolta was known for doing things half assed. You can only have 3 choices for grips. Either you put a large grip on, no grip, or a half assed grip.Dslrs should have large grip, csc’s should have no grips, period. Why would you want a big fat grip on a small camera? Agreed, that the nex7 grip was crap…why? Because it was a half asssed grip. Not big enought to be effective, and too big to be a csc grip. Do you want a grip to be bigger than the body? That would look great….NOT. LOL
