3D camera fails to exploit full dimension

The good, better and best things in Sony NEX-5
And that the Sony NEX-5 accepts Memory Stick Pro Duo/Pro-HG Duo/Pro-HG HX Duo and SD, SDHC and SDXC media mean (to us) that we're okay whenever, wherever.
First off, let me say that the Sony NEX-5 is one weird looking
camera, particularly when it’s attached to its 18-55mm (f.3.5-5.6)
kit lens. What you have is a skinny little supermodel camera with a
Jimmy Durante-nose of a lens protruding from the front. Not only
does it look pretty silly, it would seem to defeat its own purpose.
(Kind of like unicycles.)
However, the NEX-5 attached to its other kit lens option—a 16mm
f/2.8—is a different animal altogether. That snub-nosed,
fixed-focal lens with its fast aperture is well suited for this
high-end compact camera that made a splash when it debuted in
prototype form at the PMA show earlier this year.
But let me back up for a sec. Maybe you haven’t heard of the
14.2-megpixel Sony NEX-5? If not, here’s the main highlight of this
little camera: It uses an APS-C sized (24x16mm) CMOS sensor,
similar to those you’d find in a true digital SLR. Instead of a
mirror, the NEX-5 has an electronic shutter...
Sony NEX-7 SLR-like camera is well worth the price
31.12.69
When Sony announced the NEX-7 ($1,200, body only; $1350 with a 18-55mm lens), the specs were impressive enough to warrant a first-look review. The NEX-7 is an advanced SLR-like model with a 24-megapixel sensor that can fire off 10 frames per second at full resolution. Also, the NEX-7 features an XGA OLED viewfinder with more than 2 million dots.
But specs alone don't make the camera: The performance, design, and ergonomics have to measure up. I've been shooting with the NEX-7 for a couple of weeks to see if it does. The Sony NEX-7 is undoubtedly a pricey advanced camera, but its versatile features, beautiful design, and strong performance make it well worth the price.
It's powerful, with lots of options. I was impressed with the camera's specs but also skeptical: For example, 24-megapixel shots seem like overkill for most consumers. That's 4,000 x 6,000 pixels, 8MB or 9MB for each photo. Also, shooting 10 frames per second will eat up your computer's memory quickly.
