Sony NEX-F3 review

Gallery Photo: Sony NEX-F3 review pictures

I've recommended Sony's NEX cameras to a lot of people over the last year or so. The NEX-7 is too expensive for most people, but the NEX-C3 and NEX-5N are relatively inexpensive cameras that offer big APS-C sensors, interchangeable lenses, and a lot of nifty features and functionality.

We caught wind of Sony's HDR-GW77V Handycam camcorder when it launched in Japan back in May, but there was no word on when it'd see an international release. Well, consider us informed: Sony has announced that their waterproof camcorder will arrive in the US sometime around the end of the month.

The HDR-GW77V doesn't look especially imposing, but Sony reports that the camera is shockproof for up to 5 feet and waterproof for up to 16 feet,...
