Sony NEX-C3K 16-megapixel Alpha series digital camera with 18-55mm lens

Big features in a small package

The Sony NEX-C3 boasts some of the newest technology available. Half the weight of typical DSLRs, this small but dynamic camera couples with the heavy-hitting power of an APS-C size sensor for quality photos time after time. The tiltable screen, 3D panoramic capability and myriad creative control allows users to truly customize their stills and movies, with anti motion blur helping to smooth action shots. Beyond extensive creative control, options to customize soft keys make the camera unique to you. Compact but powerful, the 25 point auto focus and Peaking manual focus function allow the photographer to capture pictures quickly without the hassle of focusing tweaks; this gives the shooter more time to decide between the 8 different scene selections, 6 creative style settings and 11 variations of picture effects. The 6 image layering system, save extra time spent editing pictures on your computer. An easy turn of the control wheel allows you to defocus or refocus backgrounds; the simplicity of this camera is largely unsurpassed by similar, bulkier products. Do you like to be current on new camera technology and customizations? Does a small package with big options appeal to your adventurous side? The Sony NEX-C3K won't disappoint!

E-mount 18-55 lens

An excellent choice for stills and movie capture alike, the E mount lens included with your Sony NEX-C3 has a maximum aperture of 3.5. The metal construction of the lens makes it a durable, versatile choice for a wide variety of photo ops. No need for a rotating focusing ring on this lens; the specificity of the camera and lens leave little room for improvement. Extremely low noise when filming video only increases the utility of the lens, especially in conjunction with a camera that makes phenomenal movies.
