Did you know that is a new NEX-3 replacement around the corner called the NEX-C3? Originally planned to launch late last month, the now delayed camera, due to the recent events in Japan, (though I guess something that has yet to be officially announced I guess cannot be delayed) is becoming more and more official as Sony’s own Czech website accidentally posted the manual online before quickly pulling. Still, there was enough time for a screen shot of the camera’s new button layout which isn’t a huge departure from the NEX-3 and NEX-5. Even though we don’t know all the details about the NEX-C3, we do know a few little tidbits about it like the 16.2 megapixel image sensor that it will come with. Expect plenty more news on the C3 as Sony begins a rollout of it which seems to be sooner then later if this accidentally published manual is any indication.

Hit the jump for a picture of the leaked manual.
