I like the smaller body

I have three digital cameras. A waterproof camera, one to take with you in your handbag and this one for more sophisticated photography. I like that it's smaller because I hate carrying things around with me when I travel, especially when I go abroad. The photos are great.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Not bad but...

Break out of point and shoot

We bought this camera to replace an outdated point and shoot camera. This is exactly what we were looking for - a way to take simple photos (the automatic mode works very well) but with the ability to adjust manually. The picture quality is excellent for me in automatic mode. My wife is more photography savvy and managed to get some really good shots with the manual settings. Basically we are very satisfied!

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Nothing here

Great camera - one downside

Sony Alpha NEX-3 Interchangeable Lens Digital Camera with 18-55mm Lens (Black) - 14.2 Mpix Fantastic camera and fast shipping. One drawback - 3 weeks after receiving the camera I had to send it to Sony for repair due to the lamination of the screen on the back of the camera. It slowly started to delaminate and then quickly deteriorated. It's a pleasure working with Sony and I'll get it back within a week or so. Sony stands by its products. Takes great pictures and is lightweight. I recommend…

Pros
  • Hands free
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Why do they make other cameras at all?

Bought this camera to replace my chunky Canon Rebel and really don't see why there should be any other cameras now. I love how this camera works and the night photos are AWESOME. I didn't miss the opportunity to take photos. If you're looking for a camera to keep in your bag, this isn't for you. Once you have a lens, it takes up little space. I have small hands and this is perfect for me, other cameras seem to weigh me down. The image quality is crystal clear, I only think the additional lenses

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • No

Fiction! Quick Safety Tip:

I will be brief and sweet. For the price it's a steal! This is a very high quality camera. Reading the other reviews posted here will give you all the information you need. The only downside to this camera is the constantly exposed sensor. Without a mirror (and therefore a viewfinder), the sensor is always wide open. Changing lenses is risky.** BE CAREFUL!** When you change lenses, the sensor is 100% exposed to the open air and attracts dust, which will smear many of your shots. I recommend…

Pros
  • Absolutely Amazing!

Really good photos - easy to use

I bought an expensive Sony DSLR, at least for me, and wasn't happy with the difficulty of use or the quality of the photos. Plus the size and weight of the DSLR was a pain. I took better photos with Lumix and Sony H50 than with DSLR. So I sold it at a loss and bought a NEX-3. Very glad I did. I get better photos than a DSLR from day one and the NEX is easier to use, but I also have a lot of options and interchangeable lenses. Without a flash, it takes good pictures even in low light. The video…

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Empty

Finally the perfect camera!

I've waited my whole life for this camera and it was worth the wait! It delivers excellent picture quality in the smallest possible package. I'm a point and shoot user who was disappointed with the photo quality of even expensive point and shoot cameras, but never bought a DSLR because I knew I never wanted to carry one around. If that describes you, then this is your ideal camera. If you own a DSLR and use less than 5% of your camera's capabilities, this camera is for you too. On the other…

Pros
  • delivery was very fast
Cons
  • crumpled
