does this have C3 version?
There's too much differences between the 5N and 7 sensors for the 7 to be considered an upgrade to the 5N.
One is the best low light/High ISO, APS-C King and the other is the highest resolution, APS-C monster challenging FF.
If you mean replace the 5N with the 7 then no, I'm not one of them, the 5N is just too good not to have.
But that doesn't mean I will not be getting a 7, in fact, the consideration is between the A77, Nex7 and A65.
Points to consider:
#1) Which will be available first, the Nex7 or the A77/A65 fw version 2.0
#2) Do I want to be kinder to my back ? ...the Nex7 wins in terms of weight followed by the A65.
#3) Look good, feel good factor ? ...the A77 wins hands down
etc, etc.

for trips I've experience it A77 plus grip will kill your back =) I think if you're travelling with your spouse only you can bring a big monster A77/A65 but with kids it's not recommended. Thats why now I am thinking maybe getting a 2nd body (NEX5n/Nex7) for my travels and for my MF lenses =)
And also during my trip I've noticed the 1680 is 99% being utlized I was carrying my 50mm f1.4, 18200 and the Samyang FE I think I've used the 50mm f1.4 during a show where it's dark and need a fast lens and the FE only used onc to shoot the hotel lobby, the rest was in my bag only adding to the burden lolz oh also I have a flash with me as we did night family portraits. Lesson learn for me travelling with kids bring ligth gear as possible.

I know a lot of people berate the high iso performance of the 7 even before its available to users but this is a production comparison :
Sony NEX-7 Review: 22. High ISO noise comparisons: Digital Photography Review
not so different after all
I'm reserving my judgement and comments on the 7 until it's available and I've spent some time shooting with it.
DP reviews are good for tech reviews and all but most people do not shoot that way on a day to day basis, most folks will just shoot and be done with the Jpg SOOC. (I used to insist on shooting only RAW for the best IQ until I realised how much time it's costing me)
SO far, all the 7 Jpg OOC samples I've seen says otherwise.
