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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It was a reasonable purchase, I will order more.

Impressions: Very small, makes great pictures, especially if before that there was just a soap dish, like I have. The menu is very clear, hints are everywhere. The screen is super, though the photos on it look better than on the computer screen, it's harder to sort on the camera. BUT: It is very difficult to hold it with one hand (it just terribly outweighs the lens (18-55)). uncomfortable grip due to the strong plane of the body. The shutter button is not very conveniently located. P. S. Yesterday I bought a purse for him and went out to silk in the evening, in principle, as I shot on a soap dish with two hands, I shot on this one with two hands. There was no discomfort whatsoever. Yes, and the hand itself adapted itself to how to hold it. The only thing you constantly paw the screen, but soon a protective cover on the screen should appear in Sonystay. I tried to shoot at night in a dark bath, the pictures are good, the flash syncs great. YES, it is a little heavier than a soap dish, but the dimensions are very small and even with an 1855 lens you can put it in a small bag. I went to rest at sea without flashing it to a new firmware. As a result, it was discharged by 30% of the battery overnight . Flashing after arrival removed this problem, but on vacation it significantly interfered with me. I don’t know how it is now, with the new firmware, but with the first version, I didn’t have enough charge for the day of the excursion, although I snapped about 500-700 photos. But everything is automatic. Very imbued with the ability fotik shoot video. Sometimes you want to show some moments live (for example, we were on a 150-meter bridge, we took a lot of photos, but for a more understandable comparison of objects, I also shot a video) and video comes to the rescue. And I also want to note that the stabilizer built into the 1855 lens works at 100% =) I shot a video, my hands were shaking, but you don’t notice it at all on a computer =) I am satisfied with my purchase, and on vacation I did not part with it =)

Pros
  • -Very, very easy to shoot a good video! -very clear menu. -very good photos (switched to this camera from a soap dish) - small size -SDHC cards (cheaper and more versatile than Sony cards) -Swivel screen - Cool shoots with flash in complete darkness.
Cons
  • -Very difficult to shoot/operate with one hand. -Ergonomics like a conventional soap dish. -Much more soapbox
