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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I have not regretted the purchase, everything is fine.

I chose it as an everyday alternative to the Canon D50, it fits in my pocket, but it makes it noticeably heavier. The main disappointment is that at ISO 1600 the Sony matrix makes noise much more than the Kenon 50 at ISO 3200. Moreover, Sony's noise is more unpleasant in appearance. Therefore, it is not necessary to talk about high-quality pictures in poor lighting, although I took the camera just for this. But in the absence of another compact alternative to DSLRs, you can also use it.

Pros
  • Small size, high ISO, convenient screen, good video (and it compresses well on the fly), separate flash (this is a plus for me, because I don’t need it at all in this device).
Cons
  • An uncomfortable handle, a very uncomfortable shutter button, a noisy matrix, an unswitchable shutter sound, a terrible-looking "pancake" with an uncomfortable lid.
