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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I recommend to buy, the product is of high quality.

I have a model with an 18-55mm lens, 16mm they say worse, to be honest, I don’t know where. The color rendition in most cases is so distorted that you have to spend hours in Photoshop. The shutter sometimes wants to pull the camera out of your hands when you release it, which does not add sharpness to the pictures. Autofocus is a different story, on my copy there is a front focus at 18mm and a strong back focus at 55mm. Moreover, the service center cannot fix it. I quote the answer of the official SC "For the NEX-3 camera, the focusing system settings according to the documentation (Service Manual) are not provided, which again speaks of the class of the camera. Disgusting customer support, you can say it is not there! Think carefully about whether compactness will pay off your time spent on post-processing and nerves! After some time, I decided to change the rating from satisfactory to good, in the heat of the moment I gave a fairly good device, in natural light it gives a very decent result, in difficult lighting conditions you can use manual optics, it’s just a pity to take a large camera to another place. An unpleasant aftertaste remained only from sony technical support.

Pros
  • Compact; Easy; Sufficiently nimble; Ability to use different lenses; Beautiful:)
Cons
  • Color rendition, but this is to the lens; Focusing accuracy, strange as it sounds for contrast autofocus;
