Sony Alpha NEX-C3 review: a sort of compact compact

Now in its second generation, the line has proved popular NEX, I generally liked the NEX-5 (we have never considered the NEX-3), with excellent photo quality and attractive design and compact, but I still think the line is a bit expensive for people seeking to improve a point-and-shoot.

The C3 features a sensor unnecessarily higher resolution than previous models, the displacement of about 14 to 16 megapixels. It is not, however, the same 16 megapixel sensor that is found in older models such as SLT-A55.At least the picture quality does not suffer from the increased resolution, and given the different sensors in the C3 and NEX-5, the photos look surprisingly similar, even at high ISO speeds.

Noise profile of the camera is quite good up through ISO 400. Photos always look clean at ISO 800, but you can start to see some blotches of noise reduction algorithms, for ISO 1600, the degradation of detail becomes visible and hot pixels begin to appear. He is a solid work to ISO 3200 - is not unique, but still usable in many circumstances.(Since I'm still waiting for software support first, I can only comment on the integrated camera noise reduction.
