Sony had a new product announcement today. We “warned” you that Sony will announce a colored NEX but of course we were hoping to be wrong with our “prediction”. No way 🙁
Sony Japan announced a all pink NEX-3 edition. The [shoplink 4321]pink Panasonic GF1[/shoplink] was quite popular in Japan and I guess that’s why they made a separate press release to announce it. By the way, look at the recent BCNranking which shows the weekly most sold system cameras in Japan. The [shoplink 3003]Sony NEX-5[/shoplink] really scores an impressive result! Time for releasing new NEX lenses Sony!!!
UPDATE: There will be a new press release on October 14th with the new firmware upgrade for NEX cameras

Don’t miss the firmware upgrade on 14th 13:00 (Japan time)
Thanks Leo!
Its something about Sony NEX-VG10 firmware update?
Menu in pink instead of orange?
LOL, will we have “pink” lens on it like Pentax?
What a f**** joke…Sony…go home…I am ashamed of you now. You could have done something great, but now you’re just a joke.
Ashamed? WTF? Is Sony your Mother?
This is actually kind of cool. 😛 Entry-level cameras should be offered in a variety of colors.
Maybe that sounds like “ladies first”, who knows 😀 Hell, they really have to give a sign for for alpha users here, otherwise it will be a migration towards other brands..
We have to note that, since SOny already ‘listened’ to its users regarding NEX’s menu integration, maybe they are listening to female user’s out there who wanted this kind of color.
Besides, lots of news from Sony camp before and after PK, shows they’re having their hands full of new releases. They are keeping their promise of the new FW in the middle of Oct.
Rick-rolled badly:)
I find this hilarious. This press release couldn’t have turned out any more anti-climatic. Well played Sony 😉
Now, how about giving us an NEX-7, even if it only comes in pink.
Just in time for breast cancer awareness month!
at least nobody will steal your camera lol
LOL, Totally agree..; Well, but the red one looks cool to me… http://dc.watch.impress.co.jp/img/dcw/docs/399/559/002.jpg
Personally I was hoping for the orange Nex-3 myself.. but hey ho… :-/
I always wanted to tell someone that I actually do have RED camera, lol. 😀
fail.
all you gear heads should be happy.. because sony can now sell more cameras to the ladies.. make more money and stay in the camera business.
if sony would only make products for you camera gear heads they would be out of business a long time ago!
My wife would to have a pink camera… but why nex 3 and not nex 5????
Easier to colour plastic
They could’ve announced this camera at Photokina. I still don’t understand why Sony had to make a separate announcement for this. At least they should have announced the new firmware release too.
Free publicity.
This could be related to the breast cancer awareness campaign.
