We now have confirmation that Sony will be updating their NEX series in the near future, starting with the NEX-3 in April and finishing off with the NEX-5 a few months later. Currently, all we have is that the new NEX dubbed the NEX-C3 will be getting a new housing to match the current NEX-5 for improved grip and quality. The other upgrade that we know about is an imaging sensor improvement, offering the same sensor that is used in the current NEX-5 which allowed for better video quality. No words yet on what changes will be in order for the NEX-5 but I for one hope for a GPS chip. I seriously love geo tagging my photos and viewing them in iPhoto and only my Cybershot HX5 currently offers that. For those are fine with the current offerings of the NEX-3, Amazon seems to be doing some price drops to clear inventory for the up coming unit.
