− | The '''Sony NEX''' cameras were introduced in 2010 by [[Sony]] as a completely new type of [[system camera]]. It's the first time that a really very slim digital compact camera body got the features of much bigger system cameras, mainly [[DSLR]]s. That means that the camera has got an [[autofocus]] lens bayonet, an [[Sensor|APS]]-size image sensor, and a tiltable 3" high-resolution color display as viewfinder. An adapter is available for Alpha-System autofocus lenses, the [[Sony α NEX Camera Mount Adapter]]. Thus the NEX system cameras are marketed as part of the [[Sony α system]], despite of the NEX's new E-mount. The NEX's slim camera architecture enables adaption of more manual-focus system lens types than to any other available [[system camera]]. | + | The '''Sony α NEX''' cameras were introduced in 2010 by [[Sony]] as a completely new type of [[system camera]].

The Sony α NEX cameras were introduced in 2010 by Sony as a completely new type of system camera. It's the first time that a really very slim digital compact camera body got the features of much bigger system cameras, mainly DSLRs. That means that the camera has got an autofocus lens bayonet, an APS-size image sensor, and a tiltable 3" high-resolution color display as viewfinder. An adapter is available for Alpha-System autofocus lenses, the Sony α NEX Camera Mount Adapter. Thus the NEX system cameras are marketed as part of the Sony α system, despite of the NEX's new E-mount.

Sony E-mount
The Sony E-mount is a lens mount designed by Sony for their NEX ("New E-mount eXperience") series of camcorders and mirrorless cameras.[1][2]
On 8 February 2011 Sony announced the release of the specifications for the E-mount lens system allowing for third-party lens makers to create lenses for the NEX cameras without having to pay royalties.[3][4]
The Sony E-mount is a bayonet lens mount that, like the Fujifilm X lenses mount, has two main components: The bayonet, and a set of 10 electrical contacts along the bottom.
Lens mount adapters exist for the most common 35 mm lens bayonets, as well as for M39, M42, T-mount and C-mount lenses to an E-mount camera.[5][6]
As of 2014, dozens of E-mount lenses are available.[7]
