Review on 📷 Silver Sony Alpha NEX-3 Digital Camera with 18-55mm Lens - 14.2 Megapixels by Michelle Collins

I have a variety of cameras from small pocket underwater cameras to heavy high end DSLRs. If I had to choose one camera to replace them all, this would be it! Two of the most outstanding features that make it this award are its light weight and the large APS sensor, which gives excellent images that rival those of SLR cameras, even in dark rooms without a flash. Images are clear and free. "Grain" that small cameras produce. It's light enough to carry around all day. Others have commented on the battery life, but I can take 300 shots with only 30% battery. This means that 1,000 pictures can be taken on a single charge (without flash). The 18-55mm zoom lens is of good quality and as I usually shoot indoors it has more than adequate resolution even at ISO 1600. However, the 16mm wide-angle lens looks sharper. I also bought a full frame fisheye lens which is a lot of fun and even works in panorama mode. [.] The video mode is pretty good, and even the sound quality with the built-in microphone is surprisingly good. The flash works but is a bit clunky and I had to read the instructions to get it working (it has to be screwed in and flipped over). Cons: The menu system is too complex and requires more buttons on the camera. . I've been using Sony cameras for many years and I know the system well, but I've had problems with it myself. I wish there was a macro lens as well as a short zoom around 100mm and a normal portrait lens around 50mm f/2.0 for available light - narrow focus. However, it should be noted that there is an adapter for other Sony lenses. I like the panorama mode and set it to wide and vertical and then turn the camera sideways. However, it's actually not that drastic. My tiny Sony DSC-WX-1 takes higher resolution pictures. Summary: Light weight and full-size DSLR image quality, ideal for low light and travel. Supplement for the next 1000 pictures: great quality pictures outdoors, although the screen is difficult to see in bright sunlight, the battery seems to last forever, takes about 300 pictures on only 20% of the charge, quiet, light and much easier to carry is compared to a DSLR and is not noticeable when photographing questionable subjects for artistic purposes. certainly. It works very well with LENSBABY lenses (and body mount adapters) as it can increase manual focus by 14x. This is way better than expensive DSLRs. Also, I recently photographed flowers outdoors at close range and found that the anti-shake program makes the movement of flowers in the wind more abrupt. TIP: I use "Continuous Advance Mode" for almost all 2 1/2 frame images. per second and always find one image much sharper than the others. When dealing with people, I get a variety of forms of expression and eliminate blinking. Since the battery lasts forever and memory cards hold many thousands of pictures, this is the only way to capture landscapes.
