Bullseye for Point & Shoot Upgraders
I'm experienced with 35mm SLRs and Digital Point & Shoot cameras, and I recently bought this camera (Sony NEX-3 with 18-55mm lens) because I have been disappointed with the quality of photos I can achieve with Digital Point & Shooters. Having been originally spoiled by my Nikkormat and Minolta 35mm cameras I found myself taking fewer and fewer pictures on my small Digital cameras simply because the pictures were just OK. So, with some important life events coming in the next couple of years I decided to upgrade, yet I dreaded the thought of carrying around a bulky and heavy DSLR.The NEX-3 has solved this problem for me: Great pictures, excellent indoor pictures often with no flash needed, and much better portability than a DSLR.Before purchasing I read the reviews and noted some were especially critical of the user interface Sony designed for the NEX series, so when I went to the store to try one I was expecting the worst. Instead, I found the NEX to have an...

The king of point and shoot
The first thing you will notice about the NEX-3 is that it looks and feels solid. The 18-55 lens is mostly metal, whereas the body is painted laser-etched plastic with a rubber grip. The camera feels heavy in the hand, but is amazingly deminutive. My first gripe with the camera is its memory stick holder. Designed to hold both SD cards and Memory sticks, there is some kind of internal adaptor that grabs on to the sticks as you lower them into the camera. The adaptor feels a little flimsy. Most Sony DSLRs have designated bays for SD and Memory cards.So here's some of the highlights of the NEX-3 18-55mm(and I hope I'm not repeating too many what other reviewers have mentioned):1) 18-55 lens: Superb construction, absolutely beautiful to handle. Large zooming and focusing rings. You can zoom in and out while you shoot videos manually (there's no T/W toggle switch on this thing). Granted it's not the best 18-55m zoom lens, there is obvious barrel distortion at 18mm,...

Sony Nex-3
I just bought this camera a week ago. I wanted to upgrade from a point and shoot and head into the DSLR world. It's just a hobby for me. I'm not a professional and really don't know too much about cameras. I had in my mind that I was going to go buy a Nikon D5000. I had read lots of reviews and that camera got pretty solid reviews for someone who was new to the DSLR world. I went into the store and didn't like the feel of the camera. I am 5'1 and have very small hands. I felt that the D5000 was bulky and heavy for me. I thought I would not want to carry something like that around. The store clerk showed me the Sony NEX-3 and explained what it was. He spoke very highly of it and said for someone like me it would be a great camera. I bought it and have been playing around with it. I am not certain I am going to keep it. I really liked using the Macro setting on my point and shoot for taking photos of flowers to get just a little more detail. The macro setting on this camera is not...
