DSLR Quality Images
Expert photography is easy

Be pleasantly surprised by the stylish and ultra-compact NEX-C3 that delivers imagery that belies expectations of a camera its size. Be impressed by ultra-sharp DSLR quality images with its Exmor™ APS HD CMOS sensor and BIONZ™ processor. This large sensor used also in Sony α system DSLR cameras enables truly amazing image quality with less noise in all shooting conditions, including low light.

Picture Effect
Images to your liking

Photography is more exciting on your NEX-C3 with Picture Effect. You can choose from a virtually unlimited range of artistic expression with advanced effects like Toy Camera, High Monochrome and Partial Color - a unique effect that lets you capture one particular color in an otherwise black-and-white image.

With Picture Effect, there's no need to manipulate your photos with image-editing software — you can create works of photographic art simply by releasing the shutter — and have the camera save them in JPEG format for you automatically.
