So far the 1080p, metal body&grip and remote are the only advantages of the NEX-5 against the new C3, that has a better sensor and some little menu improvements. If the NEX-5N really comes with AVCHD 2.0 from 24p to 60p this would be a real distance again, so Sony could give 1080p to the C3 either, which is an ugly limitation anyway.
BTW Andrea’s Amazon links are obviously avoiding the pink option 😀
Basically , NEX-C3 has 16.1MP APS-C sensor, 720p video (mp4 only I think), no IR receiver, plastic body, smaller than NEX-3.
NEX-5N has also 16.1MP APS-C, 1080p video (either AVCHD or mp4), IR receiver, metal build, almost same body as NEX-5, compatibility with the new EVF for all those that didn’t buy NEX-series cameras because of the lack of EVF. Don’t know what else.

If anyone can post a NEX-C3 vs NEX-5N specs comparison that would be spiffy!
Older original NEX5 is the better deal anyway
it got 1080p video instead of 720p and better grip+balance (and cheaper depends on where you get it)
But the NEX-5N also has 1080p, and a better video format.

Hey Andrea, take a look at this, DigitalRev made a video about NEX-C3 vs E-P3 vs GF3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1p896tm9haU
They do it quite fun as usual 🙂
He makes one of the best Jeremy Clarkson impersonations…in the world.
The new nex 5 can use the new external EVF whereas the old one or C3 can’t.
Nex 7 is so great! but i wonder is it possible that nex 7 can support SONY ADI system? sorry for my poor English 🙂
