Review on πŸ“· Silver Sony Alpha NEX-3 Digital Camera with 18-55mm Lens - 14.2 Megapixels by Tina Waters

Revainrating 5 out of 5

the best aiming with interchangeable lenses

i saw this device about a year and a half ago and was impressed. I needed to upgrade my DSLR so I bought a Nikon D7000. The price has since come down and I found a refurbished model at the Sony outlet store and it was a great deal. Sony likes to develop new models like NEX7, 5N, C3 which keeps the price low compared to Nex 5 and 3. Pros: 1. You get the same APS-C CMO sensor as most DSLRs, not full frame. but the picture is not as good as my d7000. No other brand has a sensor of this size at this price (mine was bought for 370. Fujifilm X100 is 1350 with fixed lens. Olympus and Panasonic 4/3 system uses a smaller sensor. 2. The size and design are great I also got a lens - damn it's pretty compact so 3. Very fast autofocus (AF), it can be a bit sharper in some cases I prefer black for the camera 2. No external buttons but there are 3 programmable buttons so not too bad after a day I knew where all the buttons were and it was so easy I programmed the ISO and that was the main button I needed 3. If you focus manually this is the one Zoom that I find it very strange I will spend more time on it before deciding if it is good or bad Expensive accessories but I knew I already have There is a large chamber with AC Accessories so I buy nothing new here. But there is an option.2. real seeker. I like the OVF glass optical viewfinder and the second viewfinder is not that expensive. Battery drain is an issue when you go for a photo walk. OVF lowers power consumption for dslr, it really lowers here, but lcd is a drain.4. Not a big deal, but the IQ image quality isn't as good as a DSLR (more noticeable when shooting at night, but never mind. All in all, at this Β£400+ price point, there's no better camera when it comes to IQ. I'd be Be careful and shoot too and it cost me 320 and has a tiny sensor, it's fun to carry around but it's a shame it's not small enough for a jean pocket.

Pros
  • not only usable for the intended purpose
Cons
  • i don't remember
