I just received a minor but reliable rumor. According to our trusted sources the NEX5 and NEX3 cameras will come in four colors:

Black,Silver,Red,Blue

Unlike the cameras the lenses are supposed to be sold in the silver-chrome version only. Imagine, blue body and silver lens…doesn’t seem to match!
