David Kilpatrick commented on Sony release today
Got to say that for this and the A35 I'm not especially excited. I think I'll be writing along the lines of - time to wait for the next launch date if you want the real stuff.
Just my thoughts. I might have considered the NEX-C3 if reasonably priced as body only, but not available in that configuration.
The A35 leaves me wondering what Sony are thinking not offering a movable rear LCD. I will also wait for the next launch date.
I am re-evaluating my future strategy. I may just stay with my NEX-5 with 16mm pancake, W/A converter and 18-55mm and buy instead the A55 successor whenever that arrives. The weight/size penalty of using A55 successor with say the new Tamron 18-270 compared with NEX-5 with E-mount 18-200 will be marginal and I can get a subsidy towards the camera from the saving on the zoom. In any event I already have the Sony 18-250 and that is performing well. I wish somebody would provide a light and small quality 18-200 zoom for the NEX system or even better a 16-120 or thereabouts.
