Successor to the NEX-5, the NEX-5N from Sony improves on its predecessor with a 16.1-megapixel CMOS sensor, a touch-friendly, angle-adjustable, 3-inch display, enhanced low-light sensitivity (up to ISO 25600), and 1080p AVCHD video recording. Sony does little by way of changing the NEX-5's style but incorporates more magnesium alloy throughout the camera's slim body.

Description

With a slimmer design than the E-PL2, the newer Olympus E-PL3 Micro Four Thirds camera removes the built-in flash (and replaces it with an included flash accessory) and pushes the lens mount outside the body to get a much thinner camera.

While it's exterior design may take cues from cameras of yesteryear, the FinePix X100 is a premium modern point-and-shoot. The camera's body is partially constructed of magnesium alloy and is wrapped in faux leather material, and it utilizes a hybrid viewfinder to achieve optimal results from a 12.3-megapixel APS-C sensor. Though the primary focus is undoubtedly on still photography, the X100 is still capable of 720p video capture with individual recordings of up to 10 minutes.

The Canon Powershot S100 is an update to the popular Powershot S95 and adds a 5x wide-angle zoom lens, GPS geotagging, and a need imaging system consisting of a new 12.1 megapixel sensor and upgraded processor.
