May 15, 2010 – Sony introduced two innovative (alpha) compact interchangeable lens digital cameras, the NEX-5 and NEX-3. They provide the quality of a digital SLR in a compact body that is easy to slip into a small purse or jacket pocket for ultimate portability.
Similar in concept to the Olympus PENs and the Panasonic Lumix, the Sony NEX-5 and NEX-3 are a mirrorless design which reduces the thickness of the camera bodies to just about an inch at their slimmest point. The newly developed 14.2MP APS HD CMOS sensor is about 60 percent larger than the sensor in micro four-thirds cameras which is key to the exceptional image quality, extremely low image noise and creative defocus background effects that are familiar to DSLR users.
