Sony launches new NEX-5T Camera with Wi-Fi, NFC and Fast Hybrid AF

Sony is 2013's standout camera manufacturer. They've already hit high marks with some stunning high end point-and shoot cameras including the sublime RX100 MK II and the RX1r  compact full-frame cameras. Now they're securing their NEX-5T camera which mates a large, high-resolution 16.1 effective megapixel Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor with the latest WiFi, NFC and Fast Hybrid Auto focus in a compact size.

Joining the rest of the NEX compact system line, the NEX-5T, which was launched at IFA in San Diego,  is the first Sony interchangeable lens camera to feature NFC, giving the extra convenience of one-touch wireless connectivity with compatible Android smartphones and tablets. A connection is activated automatically as soon as the mobile device touches the camera, allowing for immediate image and video² sharing between devices. Content is then safely stored on the connected device and can be shared via social media and other common applications.

For devices without NFC one-touch capabilities, users can wirelessly transfer images and videos between compatible devices through use of Wi-Fi and Sony’s PlayMemories Mobile application, available for both the iOS and Android platforms.
