Not so Great

 

I purchased the camera in August 2012 because I wanted a small compact , easier to use SLR style camera. I liked the camera and all was well until I tried to use it at a beach on a sunny day. I could see nothing out of the window at the back of the...

Not a DSLR

 

We caved to the marketing for this item, and liked using it in the store. it has a SLR-sized sensor unlike other similar mirrorless-slr-like cameras (Nikon, Panasonic, Olympus), and its a lot smaller than a real DSLR.In actual use we had a number of...

relatively small, great features

Inconsistent behavior, hard to use controls

Nice camera/camcorder

 

To have one piece of electronics that can do both well is hard to find. The focusing capability in video is very accurate and the picture taking is on par with anything at a high level of consumer grade. I've been looking for a long time for a camera...

Great combination of camera and camcorder. The ability to combine to pieces of equipment in one

Menu is a little cumbersome

A Personal Fav

 

Overall my favorite Sony camera that I've used, actually my favorite APC Sensor included camera. I thought of buying a Nikon D90, but why would I want to lug around a big DSLR like that? I love my alpha, I love it's manual controls, some complain about...

Great overall CSC camera

 

After doing some research and careful consideration (J1, RX100, M43), got rid of my bridge camera (P500), and finally settled on the NEX F3. It is the perfect choice for an entry level CSC. After years of dealing with P&S cameras, anyone who cares...

Great camera for beginner or pro

 

Overall the camera takes fantastic pictures in every mode. Love the zoom feature and the micro setting! I have been able to capture some photos by accessing the smile detection without some people actually realizing they are being photographed until it...

Contols are easy to access, switching from one setting to another is quick and easy

Extra lenses are way over priced

The Best Camera I ever had

 

This the best camera I ever had. I bought this in local best buy store. After doing lot of research about Compact SLR camera, I finally decided to go for Sony NEX F3. It is very ease to use except for scene selection. I took some of July 4th night...
