Pros:Value with lens kit (16-50)Great image qualityLots of support from 3rd party for old manual lenses, etcLens is compactCons:Rear monitor (LCD) is lower res than previous modelLens could have better image quality at extremesNo accessory portShutter Noise (loud)LCD mottling ("noise") if daylight mode is enabledNeutral:Included wall charger only charges battery in camera through USB port (this is fine for some, but if you have a second battery is more difficult).Who is this camera for:Someone who wants a very compact camera with the largest possible sensor (better image quality). The included lens is best for JPEG shooters. This would be an ideal camera for someone looking for a huge step up in quality from a point and shoot.I started with an original NEX 3. It was a great camera, nice large grip for a small little camera, huge APS-C sensor, ability to use any manual focus lenses from any camera mount, and SLR image quality in a tiny little package. The issue they had was that the NEX 3 and NEX 5 were almost identical in function, they needed to separate the lines. This meant keeping the 3 series the same or even cheapening the 3.The first upgrade was the C3, and this was a fine camera, a nice new image sensor that improved image quality some, but they made the grip so small I couldn't hold it and the battery compartment was locked out while on a tripod. Then came the F3, they did a 180 on the size making it as large as the NEX 7 which fixed the grip, but it no longer appealed to people looking for a small camera, so then came the 3n. Finally, Sony has it mostly right for a compact NEX. It is sleek, stylish, and has a great sensor. However, they also decided to make it the cheap model.The 3n has a low res screen on it 460k dots (worse than older NEX models) and is very small, and for the only display this is not great. The display still servers its purpose, but it is among the worst in the class. It also shows severe mottling in low light, blue and purple grainy colors, this is done to keep refresh rate high, but other model cameras do this without looking so terrible. This isn't a show stopper, but if you compose a lot of image in low light it can be very distracting.The lens performs well enough in JPEG, but is largely corrected in software. Nothing wrong with this, but if you shoot RAW you will notice severe distortions that need to be corrected. With the click of a button Lightroom will do this for you, but not all RAW editors are created equal. They also left off the newer features like touch screen and Wi-Fi on the 3N.Despite the screen and lens design considerations, why do I love this camera? The image quality for such a small package is amazing. If you take a lens from an SLR and put it on this camera with appropriate adapter, you wouldn't be able to distinguish between the SLR image and the image from this camera. It has that good of image quality.So why the 4 star review you ask? I think it is great but not perfect. The primary difference between this camera and my 3 generation old NEX 3, is the sensor, and the C3, F3 both share it. I do like that they fixed some quirks so it is centered on the tripod, you can change the battery and memory card on the tripod, and put the excellent little finger grip on the front. The C3 was too hard to hang onto, but this is great. If some of the cons of this little 3n don't appeal to you, be sure to check out other cameras in the NEX line. My favorite is the 6. A little beauty to hold and is a great step up from other NEX models.

My current quest (around Christmas 2013) to find a camera which takes DSLR-quality photos but is small and convenient to carry has ended with finding the Sony NEX 3N. This review is specifically about the black NEX 3N model (I know that Amazon sometimes lumps several models together).This camera is great for casual photographers who want great image quality combined with convenience.By comparison, I have three old Canons which have served me for many years and I still use occasionally: a small PowerShot, a G-series, and a DSLR. A lot of the time these days I take photos with my Moto X due to its convenience and great image quality. I recently purchased, used, and ultimately got rid of the Nikon 1 J3, Samsung NX 2000, and Samsung Galaxy Camera superzoom, and I have played with a few more mirrorless cameras plus Sony RX100 etc. The Sony NEX 3N is the best camera of the bunch for my needs. Here is why:PROS:- Large APS-C sensor, same size as my DSLR. Helps with low light performance and allows you to easily blur the background for portraits. The latter is very hard with smaller sensor cameras, even with the 1-inch Nikon 1 series.- Very small and lightweight body with the kit 16-50mm lens. The lens is a folding design so it is smaller then not in use. Overall the NEX 3N is of comparable size to the Nikon 1 J and S-series, but the kit lens on the Nikon J protrudes more and makes it bulkier. The Sony is also lighter than the Nikon 1 and much lighter than the Samsung NX series.- Great ergonomics and one-handed use. You can easily hold the camera with your right hand (there is a nice grip for your finger tips), turn on the camera with your thumb, and operate the power zoom near the shutter / on-switch. Neither the Nikon 1 nor the Samsung NX allow you to do this - they are two-handed cameras. The ergonomics of the Nikon 1 are particularly bad in comparison.- Flip LCD screen for selfies (snapshots of yourself). This is amazing! In the first hour of owning this camera, we took our best family portrait while having fun with this feature. Very kid friendly too.- In camera HDR works very well. The images that come out have a balanced look and do not look like posterized caricatures (or the typical "HDR-y" look online)- 4 frames per second is great for capturing motion, especially kids- Taking video is easy and zoom and focus works well. Supports 1080i60 and 1080p24 as well as some lesser modes.- In-camera charging using micro USB, which is what most phones and tablets these days use. I can thus charge the camera in my car, for example.- Decent battery life. I have yet to run low on a family daytrip. That said, energy usage is high like on a point-and-shoot due to the extensive use of the LCD. DSLRs last a lot longer. When I can, I recharge at the end of the day.- "Superior Auto" is a great mode which I use most of the time. Besides automatic scene detection, it also gives you quick control over background blur, filter effects, saturation, etc.- As of this writing, this was the most affordable APS-C sensor camera. I bought mine used, and it was a screaming deal for a DSLR-sensor camera. Even priced as new, I think it is a bang for the buck. The other Sony NEX cameras are much pricier BTW.CONS:- HD video is in AVCHD format, which is not super PC-friendly and looks like Flickr does not support it directly. I have a way to transcode it to MP4, but it would be nice if the camera supported more mainstream formats.- No 720 HD video modes. Those are usually good for smaller video files or smoother motion tracking, but not available here.- No touch screen. This is not a big minus since the menu system is OK. The main plus of touch screens is control over focus.- No wifi. Although from what I have seen, only Samsung does a really good job with wifi and connectivity to Dropbox etc.- Phase detection autofocus would be nice to have. I am happy with AF as it is, but the Nikon 1 (and of course my DSLR) are snappier to focus. With moving subjects, this makes a difference.OVERALL:I think Sony has done a great job with the NEX series. The NEX 3N is the lower end of that series and it is already an awesome camera. The NEX 6 and 7 are even better, but also larger, heavier, and more suited for people who take their photography way more seriously than I do :) The battle in the mirrorless camera arena is between Sony NEX and Samsung NX at this point. Sony makes the better cameras overall and has more lenses, and Samsung has more in-camera features like touch screens, wifi sharing, etc. Both use APS-C sensors. Smaller sensors don't make much sense to me. I have not tried micro 4/3 due to the fact that they are not available in offline stores where I live; which indicates to me that those manufacturers are lagging behind in marketing. Nikon 1 looks like a toy compared to the NEX and the Nikon's sensor is too small for good portraits.Highly recommended.Regardless if you are coming down from an SLR or up from a point-and-shoot, you will like this t

First to make one thing clear: I'm not a professional photographer, don't really have and probably never will have the inclination to learn enough (or spend enough) to be one. What I do want to be able to do is to occasionally get better image quality than a typical point-n-shoot or cell camera offers.This isn't to say point-n-shoots and smartphone cameras are all lousy; they aren't- especially these days. They're also a sight more compact, lighter, and handier than any semi-pro, prosumer, or pro camera on the market. For impromptu or casual pics, they're pretty hard to beat. However there are times when I do want something better, and that's where something like this comes in.The reason I say you should consider this if you're in the market for a DSLR is that I wish I had. I actually bought a DSLR first (a Canon EOS Rebel T3) and honestly, this thing shoots better pictures most of the time from my experience. It's also a whole lot lighter and smaller; in fact it's not a whole lot worse in that regard than a point-n-shoot. This isn't to say these mirrorless cameras are perfect or a match for a DSLR in every way, but I'd say the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. These are how they weigh up according to my experience with these two cameras- both of which are aimed at people like me (an amateur looking for a step-up from a point-n-shoot):NEX-3N:Compact and light: this is far and away the biggest advantage of these mirrorless designs over DSLRs. The Rebel T3 is actually on the lighter side for a DSLR, but even that I find to be a bit too heavy and bulky for a lot of situations. While it isn't quite as compact or light as a typical point-n-shoot, the NEX-3N comes pretty darn close. It's still not pocketable (primarily because of the lens) but it doesn't feel like it's strangling you either. It is very maneuverable as a result of the handy size.Better screen: the NEX-3N's screen is larger, sharper, and has a better menu layout. The UI in general is a lot more intuitive and easier to use than the Canon's, though I should point out that it had better be: there's no optical viewfinder on this camera and it lacks comprehensive mechanical controls. Furthermore, this screen can pivot 180 degrees, making it very useful for angle shots or selfies.Very good shots with auto: Using superior auto, this camera tends to just work. It doesn't produce blurred out images nearly as often as the T3 even when the latter is set to action/sport mode. It produces excellent quality pictures in all light conditions and doesn't automatically fire the flash all the time (something a lot of cameras do in auto modes, which I find very irritating). For someone like me that finds manual modes too cumbersome and complex, this is great.Better video: I'm not big on using these for recording video, but generally speaking the NEX is better at this. It shoots full-HD (the T3 is 720p) and the small size makes it a lot easier to hold and manipulate. You can use it with mini tripods easily, whereas the T3 is too big and heavy for anything less than a full-up tripod stand.Self-cleaning: The NEX has a sensor cleaning mode. The Rebel T3 doesn't. This isn't a big deal for me, but if you're the type that changes lenses often this can be a big plus.Rebel T3:Better battery life. On a single charge, especially if you use only the optical viewfinder, this guy can last at least 800 shots. In fact the battery lasts so long that you really don't have to think about it- it'll probably last a whole weeklong trip of use. This isn't to say the NEX is bad; on the contrary it's very good for a camera that uses an electronic viewfinder. It has a hefty battery that gives it more run time than any point-n-shoot I've seen, but that's still quite a way's behind a DSLR.Better for manual shooting. If you do want to use manual modes, this one is a lot easier to use. The difference is all the extra buttons and dials which allow you to easily adjust ISO, focus, shutter speed, etc. If you want to do this on the NEX, it's possible but you have to navigate menus which simply takes longer.More and cheaper lenses available: I'm not really planning on buying any more of these things at the present. However, if I do it'll almost certainly be a Canon EF-S telescopic lens or one of the numerous 3rd party clones. These are generally a lot cheaper with more options than the Sony SEL/SELP lenses. Practically all of the Sony lenses are actually more expensive than the camera itself, which I find a bit ridiculous.Somewhat faster autofocus/zoom: this is a bit of a trifling distinction, but the T3's focus and zoom are a bit faster. This makes it a bit better for capturing things that are moving quickly at range.These two cameras are practically identical in cost now, so they're a particularly valid comparison. I should note that neither of them is particularly quiet- if you really care about that, Nikon seems to do a lot better in that regard. However, I'm really not bothered by the clickin

(Update, please see comments on this review)I want to give this camera 5 stars, because it does take *amazing* pictures with excellent quality and full satisfaction in that area. The reason I gave it 4 stars, however, is due to a severe lack in accessories for the camera and a few 'use' issues.I'll start with the not so great things about this camera:The LCD takes up almost the entire back side of the camera, and what it doesn't take up is covered with buttons. The manual for the camera insists you should not touch the LCD and if you do, you should clean it off immediately with a microfiber cloth. So I spend epic amounts of time trying to not touch this screen that takes up most of the back side of the camera. This issue is mitigated to an extent by opening the LCD away from the camera and using the back of the camera to rest your hands, and that is a totally viable solution, but it takes a lot of getting used to, and it doesn't really help when putting the camera away or pulling it out of your bag/case/pack. It's INEVITABLE that you're going to touch this screen, yet, "you shouldn't do that." It's nerve wracking.I have looked and looked for screen protectors that aren't just sticky plastic sheets. I want something sturdy and thick that will go over the LCD to keep any pressure or taps against it from causing any kind of issue, because I'm guessing replacing this screen would be a costly endeavor. I have yet to find anything that fits. Many items are advertised for "Sony NEX 3" cameras, but that is not the same as the NEX 3NL. Different LCDs, I found, after I ordered a LCD cover and was so excited to use it, and found it did not fit at all. I have finally ordered some of the sticky plastic sheets that I was hoping to avoid.The LCD also has glare issues. I did expect that, so I'm not taking any rating points off for that, but I am irritated that there aren't any accessories for shielding the LCD. Especially considering there isn't an Electronic View Finder on this camera, some kind of anti-glare accessory is necessary.The LCD making the camera difficult to get a good hold of makes me want a grip on it. I don't need a battery pack grip, but something to extend the bottom of the camera to give more area for holding would be an incredible blessing. As it is right now, I carry my camera around almost exclusively by the lenses.The lens that comes with the camera in this kit (16-50mm) is on the slow side at 3.5-5.6.This kit did not come with a body cap and rear lens cap. These are very important items for interchangeable lens cameras, so I think it was shortsighted to not include these items.What I love about this camera:This thing is feature packed. There are a million options for setting up your pictures for the specific situation you're in. If you are looking for a camera that you can use for setting up art photography, portraits, or a few light action shots, this is a great camera. It has several "scene" options, such as "twilight, night, landscape, portrait, anti-blur, etc." It gives you aperture and shutter priorities. It has basic color adjustment settings like high contrast black and white, color popping, and a couple of filter settings like 'retro' which gives a slight sepia tint to your image. I do a lot of after editing of my digital prints, but I've found with several of my photos with this camera I didn't have to do *anything* after the fact. They are high quality from start to finish if you take the time to use the features of the camera as you're taking your shots.Despite it's size and location causing issues, the LCD is gorgeous. All the detail in your frame is available at first glance, which really gives you control over your shots. The ability to tilt the LCD all the way forward for self portraits or setting up a timed portrait is very handy and I've used it a few times at family events to much benefit.The user interface for navigating the camera's features is very intuitive and I didn't feel lost the entire time while I learned. If you've used a digital camera at all, even just your phone camera, then you'll have a pretty easy time learning your way around the menus.The camera's built in auto focusing and stabilization are great. Often the pictures come out cleaner than I expected and that's always a nice surprise.I bought the camera when it was on sale and paid ~$350. I would buy the camera again, even with the knowledge I have, because I do love the camera. I am going to hold out hope for more accessories to come on the market.

I am a long-time, diehard Canon enthusiast who was in search of a large sensor compact system camera (CSC). To give some background, I've owned the following: S400, SD700, S90, XTi, XSi, T2i, 60D, and S95, with the latter three being in my current arsenal. The S95 is compact, but I've grown weary of its noise levels in low light and the fact that pictures from it still possess a point-and-shoot feeling. The T2i has excellent IQ and I love it, but it's on the edge of what I find convenient for travel. To that end, what I desired most was DSLR quality in a more compact form.To fill this gap, there are Micro Four Thirds, 1" sensors, and a host of small body mirrorless APS-C variants. I also had a budget of $700 or less, because as technologies improve and become less expensive each year, I really didn't feel like spending a grand or so on today's camera tech. Having read, researched, and tested some models in my local B&M, I whittled down my candidates to the RX100, EOS M, and NEX-6 (though the 6 was getting out of budget). The RX100 was very attractive and highly acclaimed in the media, but at $650, it was pricey for essentially a P&S. Bearing a styling birthed from Canon's S90+ series, I had lingering doubts about getting yet another high end P&S which costs over twice as much as the S90+ series!. If I lowered the weighting of cost, then this was definitely on the top of my list. The EOS M was attractive as well since I was very familiar with Canon's crop sensor DSLR line, but the new EOS M mount has such a limited supply of lenses and I wasn't planning on spending an extra $150 for the M mount adapter. Rated battery life of 230 CIPA for the EOS M was very disappointing too. Last, I investigated and liked what I saw from the NEX line as an alternative to the RX100.With APS-C sized sensors, the NEX mirrorless CSCs were starting to check off all my requirements, one by one. Though I liked the NEX-6, it was out of my budget, but it was at this point that I stumbled upon the NEX-3N, the current entry-level NEX from Sony. The 3N was released just months ago and was so new that professional reviews were sparse compared to the amount of literature on the RX100, for instance. As another reviewer summarized, the 3N gives you all the core features of the 6 at nearly half the price! Bonus features are stripped: wifi, EVF, high res LCD, and dedicated mode dial, all not present on the 3N. But look - same APS-C sensor, same IQ, same kit lens (16-50), same core features as the 6, but nearly half the price! This was compelling.So, it became a duel between the NEX-3N and RX100. In favor of the NEX-3N were: * cost ($500 vs $650) * APS-C sensor vs 1" * tilting lcd screen for self-portraits and tough shooting angles * battery life (480 vs 330 CIPA) * wider starting focal length of 24mm vs 28mmWhile the RX100 has a faster lens, it's only faster at the wide angle start of the zoom range. Furthermore, the larger APS-C sensor of the NEX-3N can match the faster lens of the RX100 as it relates to depth of field.Finally, here's a list of miscellaneous tips and things of note: * because of the low res LCD screen, don't use it to pixel peep to check for sharpness (countless times, I've had doubts whether I had accurately focused, but upon import of the pics to my iMac, I was pleasantly surprised with the results, with a very high hit rate of sharp keepers) * use focus peaking and coloration to focus along with DMF; use the LCD screen for framing * if you come from a Canon background, the Sony menu system takes some time to get accustomed to * looking for the perfect case? check out Lowepro's Dashpoint 20... fits the NEX-3N like a glove * use the bounce flash to beautifully light up your subject * get a 40.5mm UV filter and forget the lens cap * the camera software has a tendency to quickly bump up the ISO in low light situations and favors high ISO vs slower shutter speeds... because you cannot limit or cap the ISO when it is in Auto ISO mode (unlike Canons), your only alternative is to hard set it to a lower ISO to force a slower shutter speed and reduce the noise... also, ISO configurability is only available in PASM * some bemoan the lack of an external charger, but I found it convenient to use the same charging systems as those for my phone and tablets, plus, the battery does indeed last a very long time * it's compatible with Eye-Fi cards * videos are beautiful, zoomable, and auto-focus * three ways to zoom provide great flexibility * I don't use the camera strap; instead, I use a BlackRapid Metro sling which works beautifullySony made the right design choices in their quest to distill the bare essentials of the NEX line down to the core and achieve their MSRP of $500. So new and underrated, but so good. It's the sleeper hit of 2013.The NEX-3N is not perfect, but for me, it exceeds my needs.

This is Sony's entry-level NEX camera, clearly designed for users looking to move up from compact cameras. I've had a Sony DSC-HX5V and been pretty satisfied with the quality of the shots it gives me when I don't want to lug around my DSLR, and not long ago I tried one of the Panasonic Lumix micro four-thirds cameras but was disappointed with its performance especially indoors so ended up selling it. So I was very interested to try this camera out after being provided with one from the Amazon Vine review program.After using it for several days, I have to say I am really pretty impressed with the results! The indoor shots are quite good, with pretty decent noise reduction, certainly far better than I have ever gotten with the point-and-shoot Sony. I did find some considerable loss of detail as it started to get up to ISO 3200 and above, but the pictures were still very usable for online sharing at least. There's a wide range of options for getting good shots, from the scene mode for handheld low light that shoots several photos in succession, to a popup flash that you can tilt back to get a bounce effect. Since you can't attach an external flash, this was a feature I was particular happy to find on it. Outdoors of course the image quality is quite good. It's not quite on par with my Canon DSLR, particularly with a good lens attached, but there's no doubt this is going to be replacing my P&S camera permanently for the improved shots it gives.The camera has a decent array of modes and scene settings, while I haven't tried them all, I was very happy to find the panorama sweep mode that my P&S Sony has is on this camera as well. A setting for sunsets is also appreciated, I've had very good results using that option. When needed, you can still take control of all the typical settings you would expect: white balance, ISO, shutter speed, aperture, etc.The power zoom lens is the big feature of this camera, and makes it far more compact than earlier models. It's particularly nice for video taping, giving you a nice smooth zoom action when needed. The power zoom is both on the lens itself as well as a toggle on the power button that is obviously intended to make the jump from a point-and-shoot much easier. Just keep in mind that you won't be able to use it with most other NEX lenses at this point.So now for the negatives. The first one I noticed when I opened the box and went to charge it was the lack of a dedicated charger for the battery. For some reason Sony touts this as a plus but it's just a way to save money, and sell you a battery charger because you simply should not have a camera like this without an extra battery or two charged and ready to go. And who wants to have to plug in their camera to charge extra batteries?? This might make sense if the camera used rechargeable AA batteries, but for a custom battery it's really annoying that it's not included. Even my P&S Sony came with a battery charger!Next issue has to be the lack of touch screen and the frustrating menu system. First, the issue here is the scarcity of buttons that forces you to do so much through the menu system. Again, I've never seen a camera without a dial for the mode, here you have to go into the menus even for that. And the menus themselves are often confusing and long, and takes a lot of time sometimes to find what you are looking for. The setup section of the menu in particular scrolls on and on and on. For a camera clearly meant mainly for novices, Sony really needs to work on this UI. I really found myself frustrated with this in particular when I was outside in sun and couldn't read the LCD enough to find the setting to increase the brightness. I had to find some shade to be able to change the setting. The LCD is not the sharpest out there, and it only flips up vertically, useful for self portraits but not giving you tilt options for other shooting positions.When it comes to sports or other activities that require fast focus and shutter speed, I had a bit better results than I did with the Panasonic Lumix that I had previously, but still falls short of the results I can get with my Canon Rebel, it's really hard to beat a DSLR when it comes to speed, but this does do better than a normal compact camera does, particularly if the action is something you can pan with. Fast action sports however were a bit more of a hit or miss, it's definitely still not fast enough to get accurate results a lot of the time. Startup time is about 2 seconds for the power zoom to extend and the camera to be ready to take a shot which is decent for this type of camera.It's important to note that not only does this camera not include a hot shoe for external flash, but it does not have the accessory port other NEX models do, which allows for the use of the viewfinder as well as the stereo microphone add-on. You'll definitely want to keep that in mind if using this camera for video is something you are particularly interested in. It shoots excellent video but t

This is about my 8th or 9th digital camera I've had over the course of my digital camera life. I still had two, but only one that I really use. This is, however, my first digital camera with an interchangeable lens. I haven't had a camera with multiple lenses since my old Canon AE-1. So it's been a while since I've done anything other than simple point and shoot.I unboxed it, and then it took just short of 5 hours using AC to fully charge the battery since it comes totally depleted, no charge at all. A little frustrating for someone anxiously waiting to play with their new toy.My first thought on holding it though - heavy. This thing has some heft to it. Very sold feeling, not at all like the point and clicks I've gotten so used to in the decades since I had my Canon AE1. The entire surface feels slightly roughened, even the painted black parts. That gives the entire upper surface a cheap plastic feel rather than JUST a plastic feel unfortunately. But I like the big physical slider to power on the camera. SO much nicer than a standard little press button.Initial setup for time and date such is easy - the spinning wheel on the back increments numbers quickly.I jumped right in, without pulling out the manual. Yes, I'm a techie, so we feel there will be bad juju if we use a manual.You can set image size to STD, FINE, RAW + Fine JPG, or just RAW. Can also select 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratios. Image size is a separate setting - 3.4, 7.1, or 14MBYou select AVCHD or MP4 for movies, as well as quality (60i 24M, 60i 17M, 24P 24M, or 24P 17M)The menu is a very nice, with a crisp high quality display. Icons are more detailed than most I've seen just for the main menu sections like Camera and such. Very well rendered, and spaced so it's easy to press what you want.I like the tracking focus option to follow the object and adjust focus on that specifically. Very handy since I do a lot of my photography around my 9 year old son.My flash did not come up, it was completely unresponsive to the button. I got into a chat session online with Sony support to find out if there's anything I can do, and got a representative online instantly. I asked if it was just a physical release or if it was electronic, since maybe I was just being overly sensitive about how hard to press. Once he confirmed it's a physical release switch I knew I didn't have to worry about breaking any electronic button under it, so I really, really pressed. And it finally popped up. Subsequent flash releases are not as difficult as the initial one was so maybe it was just a "first time have to release it" bit of physical pressure inside it not letting it release easily. The down side of the flash is that you can't angle it to bounce. You'd think that a pop up in this configuration would have a way to pivot it up so you could work off of reflected light in certain circumstances, but no such luck. It does a great job though with many options to select other than the normal "on/off/auto" options.It can charge from some computers depending on your USB port, and it comes with a wall outlet adapter to use with the USB charging cable. My biggest complaint is that the cable is very short. I prefer systems that have longer cables so I can have the power plugged in and run the cable to a "cleaner" area, rather than having to have the camera right by where the outlet is. I have a charging "station" I've created on a table in my dining room where everything runs to a power strip on the floor under the table out of sight, so all I have are the small cables coming up where the devices sit. I can't do that with this one. I'm bought two additional batteries for it and a regular charger so I can charge the battery directly without having to plug into the camera, and just have the cable in my bag for when I'll want to charge from my Macbook Pro.It's been twenty odd years since I've shot photos with a 35mm camera, so the strangest thing for me is the sound and vibration you feel in this as you take a photo, just like the old 35mm flipping the mirror up. Very noticeable both to your hands and your ears. The other "strange" thing is being limited to a 50mm or so lens again. I've been so used to zooming my P&S digital cameras that it just feels WEIRD not being able to zoom to a higher magnification. But that's the whole point of this unit, that it's not an "all in one" solution that has all the give and take needed to try to do everything with a single lens. It doesn't have to compromise some areas in order to be able to do something in other areas... Which brings us to the photo quality...I started taking indoor photos at dusk, with the blinds closed. They're light colored Silhouette blinds that are horizontal fabric, and can be more or less sheer but still let light in while blocking anyone from seeing in. So there was ambient light from the windows that made it easy to see clearly with the naked eye, but often prove problematic for the standard

I'm going to try a new style of reviewing here. Some people just want bullet points of the good and the bad, some people want a more indepth review and some might start with bullet points then if interested want more details. So lets see how this goes.This is my first mirrorless camera and to say that I'm impressed doesn't come close, although the camera is not perfect.Pros :Very large sensor (23.4mm)Superb picture quality (lower end DSLR quality)Sturdy well made cameraCan take Alpha type lenses as well as E types (so lots to choose from)Full range of settingsVery fast AutofocusTiltable LCD for self portraitsExcellent lens kit (16-50mm)Choice of AVCDH or MP4 for video recordingCan shoot 3D Panoramas (although not very useful at the moment until 3D becomes more mainstream)Tiltable flash (needed if you buy a secondary 210mm lens and good for soft lighting)PriceCons :LCD Screen is very glossy is hard to see in bright daylightAlpha type lens mount is quite expensiveWith only one thumbwheel you have to use the menus for your settings. Could really do with another thumbwheel selector.Microphones are on top of the camera which picks up a lot of ambient noise when recording video.This camera takes first rate DSLR quality pictures (thanks mainly to the full size sensor). Shooting can be as simple or as manual as you want it to be with an excellent built in intelligent auto mode (why isn't this the default setting?) for those that just want a point and shoot type experience. Although there are only a limited number of E mount lenses available, with an adapter you can also have Alpha mount lenses which gives you a far greater choice.Summary conclusion : Although not perfect this is a superb camera and when you consider the price, its really a no-brainer. Go get it.For those of you that are intrigued and want some more in-depth information please read on.I was most surprised by the size of the body on this camera. It's just a tad larger than a normal point and shoot compact camera. The camera feels sturdy and well made overall although you do have to watch the bottom battery cover hinge as this seems like it could easily break off if you leave it open and put the camera down. When you attach a tripod mount to the bottom of the camera, this partly covers the battery door making it a pain to change batteries, luckilly however the second door which holds your connectors and the memory card is located on the side of the camera so you can easily plug the camera into the charger or any USB device that can supply power and run it off the mains, negating the need to change batteries. This is also very handy for changing memory cards once they get full whilst your camera is on a tripod.The NEX-3NL is a 16.1 Megapixel camera which comes in at the lower end of todays cameras (the NEX 7 for example does 24 megapixel images), however it more than makes up for this with its full size Exmor sensor. This is basically the same sensor size you will find on DSLR cameras. For those of you used to compact cameras, a compact sensor usually comes in at around 7mm. The sensor on the NEX-3NL comes in at 23.4mm. This makes all the difference in picture quality, giving you excellent detailed pictures. As an example, I have uploaded a side by side image showing the difference in quality between a modern 20 megapixel compact and the NEX-3NL. Even though modern compacts may have higher megapixel count, the size of the sensor is really what matters.With regards to images, you have a choice of how you want to store them, RAW, RAW + JPG, JPG fine or JPG standard. The RAW images weigh in at around 17Mb each so if you are shooting RAW or RAW + JPG then make sure you have a fairly sizeable memory card and also speedy. I wouldn't recommend anything less than a class 10 SD card. The NEX-3NL can take both SD cards or Sonys own Memory Stick cards.Video wise the NEX-3NL allows you the choice of AVCHD or MP4 format. AVCHD giving you higher quality full HD at 1920x1080 at 60 frames per second compared with MP4 at 1440x1080 at 30 frames per second. This is a nice feature allowing you choose MP4 which is available on most systems for playback and is compatible with most video websites nowadays without needing to reformat. The microphones on the NEX-3NL however leave something to be desired. These are mounted on the top of the camera and pick up quite a bit of ambient noise (also your own breathing if you are close enough to the camera whilst recording). It can be great for making documentary type videos but in most cases having a microphone on the front of the camera would be much preferred. Videoquality is excellent but sound quality leaves quite a bit to be desired. A mic input port would be a very welcome addition to this camera.The back of the NEX-3NL is fairly barren with only one thumbwheel selector, two buttons and the LCD screen. The thumbwheel selector has defaults of ISO settings, Multi-shot/self timer, Display change and EV settings. All
