Cool Cameras and Hot Holidays with Sony Profile Hero

Are you a Profile Hero?

Win yourself a flashy camera and maybe even a holiday to Rome in Italy, courtesy of Sony’s new Facebook competition. 5 of Sony’s gorgeous NEX-5 ultra-compact digital cameras are up for grabs every week for Facebookers whose profile pictures get voted the best. The picture with the most votes at the end of the contest will win the all-inclusive luxury holiday to Rome!

The Profile Hero competition is split into 5 categories for profile pictures, with each category carrying a prize every week for 4 weeks. The categories give you plenty of scope for imaginative pictures and will appeal to everyone!

The ‘Portrait Poser’ category is for the solo artists who like their profile pic to be all about them, while ‘Family Funster’ offers a chance for those with a more inclusive Facebook profile pic. ‘Night Owl’ is all about the good times and festive parties out with your friends, ‘Sports Star’ is for the more active among you, and finally ‘World Wanderer’ gives you chance to show off your best travel snaps.

The NEX-5 being given away is a lovely piece of kit, and is the smallest and lightest of the new breed of compact cameras with interchangeable lenses. A huge 14.2-megapixel Exmor sensor provides extremely detailed shots, and the range of lenses provides top-quality optics for creative flexibility. Image quality approaches that of full-size DSLR cameras, but with the convenience of an ultra-portable size.

The competition runs for 4 weeks, so there’s ample time to use profile pics from Thanksgiving and Christmas parties! Get snapping and uploading for a great camera and maybe even a holiday you can use it on.
