I bought two NEX-F3s at Best Buy years (and years) ago on a closeout sale for like $175 each (with lens). Still have them. The flip screen is nicer than my Sony NEX-5Ns that I have.

I use this as secondary camera to my a6000. The photos are great. The video performance are just okay but for the price around 80$, i still consider it as a good option since it can record for 20 minutes. It's weird that i find it hard to find a review for this camera, so thank you👍

Can not tell you how much I appreciate your videos. You really found your niche while staying straight to the point. Great resource. Sadly however, I find that KZbin does not show me any of your other videos which even includes gear-related videos like the latest on the RGB. Hope that will change, want to support everything after all without the extra hustle of regularly having to check your account for new, unrecommended videos. Cheers

Thanks for the love! Yeah I have noticed that most of my subscribers only get recommended Sony camera content (which is why I try to do more of that), and don't see a lot of my other stuff. Hopefully that changes overtime. We will keep grinding though! Thanks again for the comment.

I never miss one of these Nex series videos anymore, such a joy to watch every time. Most people just don't realize how good photos can be made using equipment that's 20 times cheaper than the newest full frame mirrorless. And by the way, I completely dig your opinion about that "iPhone vs real camera" debate: there's always something in photos taken with these old APS C sensors which I cannot really describe, but that gives them a more natural, pleasant and "genuine" look. I cannot find the same feeling looking at the photos taken even with the latest and greatest Cupertino phone. Maybe it's just my personal view, but for me it's just like that. :)

I had the 5 and it blew me away. I used it professionally for video and stills. I ended up sellling it to get the then-new Omd-em5 because I needed a viewfinder. It was great, but the images and speed never impressed me like that Sony.

Hey Kraig! I have the Nex-5 and I want that newer 16MP with the 5N. Would you recommend the 5N over the F3? Are both of them a big jump from the 5? Thanks:)
@transf1x6 ай бұрын
Crazy fact, but I owned the 5N and the NEX-6 (never the 7). I shot the F3 every now and then (had someone to borrow it from for a day at a time). Either I am going crazy, or the F3 has more creamy colours and especially skintones. the 5N adds the great FN button for quick setting changes (flash, WB, etc), but I would very well appreciate an F3 as of 2024. Will reply back when I have more cameras for a side-by-side comparison in terms of real life, not charts.

Hi!! I have a Sony Nex F3 and would like to upgrade it. I use the lens that originally came from it, I would like one with more zoom and more "quality" so to speak... Would you, or those of you in the comments, have any tips on which lenses to buy? If an adapter would be needed, etc.. I live in Brazil, and here it is a little difficult to easily find this equipment.. Thank you in advance, I loved the video!
@kraigpruett9 ай бұрын
Thanks for the comment. If you could find a Sony 24-105 f/4 G that would be an outstanding option. Other options would be a Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8. Or a Sony 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6 lens. All of these would be better than the standard kit lens of the F3 👍

I would snag a 24-70mm lens which will cover most of your bases. That, or a 16-50mm lens because you’re on a crop sensor. Since you already have a good prime, I’d go with a quality zoom and you’ll be set for shooting all sorts of content.
