  • which is the best choice nikon d3100(kit) or sony nex 3(kit)

    shld i wait till the sony hx 100v comes out

    pls reply

  • @vnk956 These are three very different, seemingly random cameras. The Nikon is a DSLR, the Sony a CSC and the HX100 a compact. Before you loo at specific models decide what type of camera you want, based on the type of photography you do. Do you want to be able to change the lenses? If so rule out compacts. How important is the size? CSC’s are smaller, but they don’t have optical viewfinders. Our website has lots of advice on choosing a camera, or go into a camera shop and handle a few.

  • What's the difference between NEX3 and NEX5?

  • @KiyomiTakada NEX 3 is polycarbonate, has a smaller grip and 720p movies. NEX 5 is magnesium alloy and has 1080p movies. That's about it.

  • Can you Zoom w/ that camera? or no zoom? What's the optical zoom on Sony Nex 5?

  • @EsotericDesi01 Yes, depending on which lens you have fitted: the 18-55mm zoom, 18-200mm zoom or 16mm pancake (non zoom) are the current options.

  • hi i just bought a sony nex 5 with 18-55 lens but how do i manual open and release shutter for taking dreamy water effect, please help me i am a new to photography,

  • I agree.

    There should be a single push dial for adjusting aperture, shutter speed, ISO and white balance. I don't want to have to go through the menus for these things.

    And YES ! There should be a audio in jack for a external mic or external remote mic receiver.

    There should also be a flash jack for external flash.

    And no remote? How much space and money would it have cost to add a infrared remote?

    Also the ability to power off USB power. Required for studio setup with external monitor.

  • why did sony give the nex 3 a flat grip -.- just to give consumers a reason to buy the more expensive nex5? <.< . . ill buy the nex 5 though

  • I want to buy this camera. Shall I buy the one that comes with only 18-200mm lens or shall I buy the one that comes with 18-55mm and a 16mm kit.
