5.0 out of 5 stars Best camera I've ever owned! Let me start by saying I've owned dozens of cameras, about two years ago I stepped up to a Canon DSLR and enjoyed it tremendously. After two years with the DSLR I started looking to replace it with something a little smaller (the size and weight of the SLR making it prohibitive for all my travels/uses). So I sold off the Canon and ended up buying and returning three different point and shoots before finally stumbling onto the NEX-3!The picture quality easily rivals that of my Canon XSi, yet the size and weight are deceptively small. As much as I practiced and tried different lenses and techniques, I was never able to get great low-light shots from my XSi, with the 16mm prime lens, the Sony constantly gives me great low light performance - without using the flash. Speaking of the flash, I was skeptical at first about the whole detachable flash - for fear of losing it or breaking it. Once I installed it I found that it's really not that obtrusive, when closed (in the down position) it hardly adds any mass to the camera and unless it's in the open position, the camera doesn't even recognize it's presence.....Read the full review ›
3.0 out of 5 stars Solid performer but short battery life. I have been playing with the camera since June 25. The camera has excellent low light performance. Very low noise in general.
5.0 out of 5 stars Why do they even make other cameras? Bought this camera to replace my bulky Canon Rebel and I really don't understand why any other cameras need to exist now. I love how this camera operates and the pictures at night come out SPECTACULAR. I haven't missed a picture opportunity. If you're looking for a camera to store in your pocket this is not for you. Once you have a lense on, it takes up a bit of room. I have small hands and it's a perfect fit for me, other cameras seem to weigh me down. The picture quality is crystal clear, I just think the additional lenses should be slightly cheaper.....Read the full review ›
4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, for what it is. Mirrorless SLR's are the current hot thing. I've done wedding photography for years on the side, and when I want to be serious about taking pictures I lug a bag full of pro-level lenses and cameras around. Frankly, that gets old, especially when you're on vacation. I've been hoping for quite a while to find a camera that would offer SLR-like quality in a smaller form factor that would allow it to be carried around all day with minimal effort. I owned a Panasonic LX-2 and more recently a Canon Powershot S90, and while both were decent cameras, I never really fell in love with their images.....Read the full review ›
This telephoto zoom lens is designed with Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer technology while retaining compactness and lightness, in response to demands of photographers. This high zoom ratio lens is equivalent to a focal length of 88-400mm in the 35mm format (when used on Canon EOS cameras compatible with EF-S lenses), and the image stabilizer effect equivalent to a shutter speed about 4 stops faster than the same size lens without Image Stabilizer. In other words, if the slowest shutter speed you could formerly hold a 250mm lens steadily was 1/250th of a second, with Canon's 4-stop stabilization correction, you could hand-hold at shutter speeds as slow as 1/15th of a second. It also uses a UD-glass lens element to correct chromatic aberration for excellent image quality throughout the zoom range. This new EF-S telephoto lens with great features delivers excellent performance at an affordable price for all photographers.
