Sony introduces 20 megapixel a5000

It is official Sony changing the NEX naming system to Alpha. Sony has taken the wraps off the a5000 (We suspect it is NEX 3N replacement based on the design, buttons and also built in flash) a mirrorless camera that features a 20.1MP APS-C CMOS sensor, Bionz X processor, and built-in Wi-Fi. Sony bills the a5000 as 'the world's lightest interchangeable lens camera' because it weighs 210g (7.4 oz.) without battery, card, or lens.
