Should You Buy an 11-Year Old Mirrorless Sony NEX-3 Camera?

The Sony NEX-3 mirrorless camera was released all the way back in 2010. How does it hold up 11 years later? Should you buy one? In this video we take a look at the camera and some photo samples.

Thank you so much ... Your video answered many questions that i wish to know... Especially the photo sample fm this model... I found someone comments on it weak flash... Any ideas if i even want to photo the firework... Obviously this is a beginner level quiz🙉

For this model Sony has a proprietary accessories port, which means that you're stuck with the flash module that Sony made for this, and they can be a bit difficult to track down. I haven't really found the need for a flash, just play around with some of the settings in different lighting scenarios (more comprehensive KZbin photography tutorials might help you here). Good luck and thanks for watching!

flash is bad. flash is evil ! just grab a maglite led to lit the scene or something so you adjust the tone , but remove flash.

me: no, but i saw a c3 on leboncoin for 50eu and a 16mm prime, i'm now genuinely curious how it is as a pocket to replace my cybershot, or make a gift.

Got one last year for under 50,- and it works top. Mostly I put my old manual lenses from analog times on it. Big fun! By the way if there's no focus peaking in your specimen, get the latest firmware update and you'll have it. 🙋‍♂️

I'm glad you're enjoying the camera! I really like to give older tech a new lease on life, so it's great to hear that you're utilising your lenses. Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching!

There a great street camera for photography, but with todays tech on vids they suck, I use mine for street photography and maybe some macro,

NEX3 released 2010, but I don't have money to buy it yet. Got it today for less than $60. I feel good. I want to collect. Next queue NEX5 to collect.

[@GizmoJoeReviewsTech]

Awesome price! Thanks for watching!

exactly, it's a good thing to being compact but it's not a dslr with big lenses and pro gear. i still carry a pocket camera with me cause i can't stand phone pics, it's always a good compromise.
