The Sony NEX-C3 is one of few exceptions -- in fact, we're even considering outfitting every member of the Engadget team with one of these compact, versatile ILCs once they hit stores next month.

Interesting camera. My sister-in-law is looking for something nicer than a P&S and I may recommend she look at these. Wish they'd hurry up with the lenses, though.

I know Engadget isn't a camera site, but one statement really struck me as dumb. They mentioned the APS-C sensor size and the benefits over the smaller sensors in terms of low light capability, which is true. However then they said the AF was faster because the sensor was larger. :) You'd think someone at Engadget would've caught that.
