Sony NEX-F3 Release Date, Specs, Price, Where to Buy

Sony NEX-F3 has just announced by Sony on May 17, 2012, the same day which Sony A37 announced. Sony NEX-F3 is an entry-level 16MP mirrorless camera. The NEX-F3 gains a built-in flash, along with the updated 16MP sensor from its NEX-5N big brother. Its big party trick is undoubtedly its LCD, whose image automatically mirrors when it’s flipped up for taking self-portraits.
