Sony’s gone and made both the NEX-3 and NEX-5 official, with the NEX-5 carrying the large boast of being the world’s smallest and lightest camera with interchangeable lenses.

Both have 14.2MPs, Exmor APS HD SMOS sensors, an ISO range of 200 – 12800 and are compatible with all E-mount lenses. Both have HDMI outputs and USB 2.0 for connecting to PCs, and they thankfully take SD, SDHC, SDXC cards as well as Memory Stick Pro Duo and Pro-HG Duo. They’ll be available in June, with rumored pricing tipping the NEX-3 at $1200.

Sleek, stylish, and tough aren’t words that normally describe the same product, but they’re certainly applicable to the Sony Cyber-shot TX5 ($450).

It might still be in the concept stage, but that doesn’t mean we can’t dream about having a Sony Compact Alpha DSLR ($TBA) in our bag or pocket. Powered an Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor, these compact concepts also offer interchangeable lenses, DSLR-level controls, and full AVCHD video capability for high-quality HD video capture. Expect a fairly hefty price tag if/when these become available. read more
