| Both cameras feature Sony's Exmor APS-C sized sensor and can take 14.2-megapixel photos. You will also be able to use touchscreens for input. The cameras are almost the same, with the main difference being that the NEX-3 can film 720p video, while the NEX-5 records 1080i video - both at 7fps. Without the lens each camera weights about half a pound. You can replace the external flash on each camera with electronic viewfinder or a stereo microphone to get a better sound in video recording. To buy the NEX-3 you will need $ 550 and if you want the NEX-5 model, than you will have to spend $ 650. These are the prices for the Sony cameras with pancake lens. With zoom the NEX-3 will cost $ 600 and the NEX-5 will be available for $ 700. Both cameras will be launched in June.
