Sony NEX-C3 Announcement

Yeah, I know it was announced last week. But I was on the road and it's hard to stay on top of everything, all the time. Anyway, in case you haven't heard about Sony's latest compact system camera, or you'd just like my take on it, here you go:

Incidentally, I didn't spot anything groundbreaking in the NEX-C3 specs. It has a few new exposure features and the resolution has been increased - and by less than 15% - not enough to make any noticable difference. The coolest thing appears to be the new "Focus Peaking" feature, which I didn't even mention in my article. It's also available as a firmware upgrade to NEX-5 and NEX-3 owners so it's not a NEX-C3 exclusive. It is pretty sweet, though. Check it out in this discussion: Nex firmware and focus peaking

So what do you think of the NEX-C3? Am I missing something or is it just a small incremental update to the NEX-3?
