Sony Alpha NEX-F3 (with 18-55mm lens, White) price range: $406.89
- Reviewed by: Lori Grunin
- Reviewed on: 05/16/2012
The good: The Sony Alpha NEX-F3 produces very nice low- to midrange sensitivity pictures, plus you can configure it for streamlined shooting, and delivers solid overall performance. The new automated self-portrait is also a boon for people who like to put themselves in the picture.
The bad: The LCD can be difficult to view in bright light, and the SD card slot is in a bad spot for tripod users.
The bottom line: Though it doesn't wow us for any particular aspect, the Sony Alpha NEX-F3 is a nice overall package for photographers looking for something with better photo quality and more flexible than a point-and-shoot.
