Sony finds enthusiasts in their social community

Incorporating online and out of home collateral, the campaigns, by Euro RSCG, showcase key selling points of the cameras. The Speed of Life campaign promotes superfast image capture provided by Translucent Mirror Technology. The NEX Project, in partnership with VICE Australia, sees the compact cameras with APS-C sensors (like those used in DSLR cameras) capturing everyday urban experiences.
