That’s probably the rumor of the year!!! The Sony NEX-C3 will be produced not only in boring Silver and boring black but also in…drumming….excitement…PINK!!!! I guess the main audience for that color will be ladies or young girls. I am bit surprised to see that there is no white or red option. As long as I know only two camera makers made a pink camera. Pentax and Panasonic. And I heard from my sources that the pink cameras are quite popular in Japan. Those are the cameras in pink:
Pink [shoplink 6929 ebay]Pentax Kr on eBay (Click here)[/shoplink].
Pink [shoplink 6930 ebay]Panasonic GF2 on eBay (Click here)[/shoplink].
And here is the image of the NEX-C3 in pink. Awesome or not? 🙂

Nope. Not awesome. Not pink enough >.>
[Ah, btw I’m a guy but I’m surrounded by some girls who are crazy about pink stuff. Including my sister.]
TF2’s heavy about the micro 4/3 sensor:
“The sensor! It is so tiny!”
i wish the nex could be hacked for a better video codec… that would be really sweat to have such a tiny camera with you to do high quality video..
sony will always cripple their cameras because they want to sell their high end cinema cameras 😛
pink cross sliver = crap…
What is wrong with the codec?
Avchd on nex-5 seems to be the standard. Same for nex-3 720p mpeg4
This apart PINK is cool
lol,best gift for my girlfriend!
Nope, my GF wants 5Dmk2
It does not matter whether Nex has the smallest body when all its lenses except 16mm pancake are huge and as long as a dong…
So true, the huge lenses jeopardize the purpose of the NEX system.
Advanced a day, I am older a day, 42 days to go! a77
You must dream each night about caressing a77 in your hand, and begin each day with a morning song about a77…
I know I do 😀
the picture can see nex smallest body and why biggest lens mount?
as you see in the pic it not only has the biggest lens mount, but also the largest sensor.. there you have it 😉 also i read in a interview that sony wanted options to eventually use the emount with fullframe sensors..
e mount body ff sensor = Godlike!
but not really at current moment, bcos SAR5 spell out $1300 price cannot be for FF
IT IS RED NOT PINK =))
It’s bright red not pink!!!
Very cute. 🙂
I like the color scheme.
lol they got ahead of Kai from DigitalRevTV 😀
Red Hot! by Vanessa Mae 🙂
I think that this version could be rather popular… among women.
i guess the nex is allready most popular among women 😉 so this might be a big seller 😀
If they only would spend their “color creativity” on more important stuff such as finally bringing out the SAL-70400G in black (or white) finish.
Sony is loosing most of their sales on this lens, because only a minuscle minority of the potential buyers of this lens can stand the silver color, and only few among those who don’t are willing to bend over and give in, in particular not for a lens this price.
According to our forum polls, more than 82% of the potential buyers want this lens in black, more than 11% want it in white, and less than 1.5% in silver.
Among many other things, we have been talking to them about this issue since 2008, but they still don’t seem to understand a bit. But unless they change their attitude towards their customers and start listening to the valueable input of experienced photographers, they are doomed to fail in the serious market, unfortunately.

Seriously, if anyone chooses a lens based on the color of its barrel, they should be ridiculed.
unless its pink 😀

I would much prefer both camera and lens to be black, but here in UK I think I would be less likely to be stopped as a “terrorist” when using a non SLR pink camera – any thoughts?
terrorism is dead, havent you heard they killed Bin Laden.. 😉
is not death, only the leader death. new leader raised 😀
I detect a hint of sarcasm in Gunnar’s post 😀
Ah the intelligence of our great security guards and police. They think a terrorist would blatantly attract attention by using a dSLR will bloody great lens on it…
I’ve never quite figured out the thought processes behind stopping dSLR users while compact and phone users snap away without being questioned and basically “undetected”…
