Review on Sony Alpha camera NEX-3 Kit 18-55 mm f/3.5-5.6, black by Michal Michal ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I do not cease to rejoice at the purchase, a very good deal!

As a camera for the soul, and not for commerce, I appreciate it very much. For shooting a reportage video - no. Any cheap video camera is much more convenient. You can make a staged video, but that's all. I took my camera at the beginning of March and never regretted that I switched to it from a compact. I recommend not to buy with just one "pancake", let it be the second one or not have this lens at all, but only 1855.

Pros
  • Price/Quality, size: smaller than a DSLR. Rotatable and bright screen, many settings and shooting options, automation does a great job with most tasks, and you can help it manually.
Cons
  • For me, video recording was a big disappointment - the manufacturer simply mockingly closed all the possibilities of this device to make video for us. In video mode, practically nothing is regulated, and what is there is very little consolation. There is not enough zoom, yet in the camcorder it is less than 10x, no matter how. It is impossible to hold and at the same time turn the lens without jerking. As a result, after the first trip to video shooting with this camera, I bought a video camera.
