Sony has managed to squeeze an APS-C sensor into a camera smaller than the smallest Micro Four Thirds camera so far. At the same time, Sony has devised the new E-mount for these bodies to attach to comparatively massive lenses. Sony has announced a fast, wide-angle 16mm (24mm equiv.) f/2.8 pancake lens and a super-zoom 18-200mm (27mm-300mm equivalent) f3.5-5.6 with image stabilization, as the NEX cameras forgo Sony's normal in-body image stabilization. Sony has also deviced a fish-eye adapter and ultra-wide (20mm equiv) that attaches to the pancake lens. For users that find both the lens line-up and camera too-small, Sony is releasing an adapter for its existing Alpha lenses.
