One of the more valuable features for the enthusiasts likely to be attracted to the Sony NEX-C3 is the Peaking function, where the sharpest, high-contrast areas of the frame appear colorized, indicating the band or area of sharpest focus. You can choose among red, yellow, and white colors, and the range of focused areas that it affects.

@PsykoOps Not new, it was already available at least in some compacts from Nikon a few years ago. The question is... why did they stop using it? I guess it was because it wasn't useful in compacts -specially compacts from 5 years ago- where manual focus was either not an option or not demanded by users. Now, with this new DSLR-like full-time liveview 'compacts' -NEX, PEN...- where manual focusing is more demanded -even so more when people put legacy lenses on them- it's another story.
