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.

The Samsung NX200 is the latest addition to Samsung's NX series of interchangeable lens cameras. It packs a 20.3-megapixel CMOS sensor, 7fps continuous shooting, 1080p video capture, and a VGA display.
