Customer Review

While I myself have been collected very little experience with DSLR cameras in the past, for some years I knipse me but across the portfolio of different brands and can at least an entire swing system camera offshoot (Samsung NX200, Nikon 1 S1, Panasonic G6 ) call my own and therefore compare them directly with the Sony ILCE-3000K. Just professionally I move - still - probably exactly at the same level, which try to address the various producers primarily with this type of system taking pictures - that is, I'm too stupid, too lazy and too stingy zuzulegen a complete SLR equipment, but would like to at the same time not give up the chance at least to create ambitious photographs for private use. And that it is also the mixture with which I always like to deal with new cameras and set apart with a lot of ambition, enthusiasm and, of course, a certain awe.

The symbiosis between ancient DSLR devices and system cameras progresses progressing steadily and is in practice nothing more than the refinement, consistent implementation and consolidation of the individual components "compact camera, DSLR bodies and interchangeable lens". In plain English - the ILCE-3000K relies on a simplified operating concept using regular sensor technology and provides this, far from the basic technical characteristics of an SLR - the additional option of selecting different lenses available. So more or less "reamed" basic properties as an option.

I think of with the camera can be neglected. In addition to the Body & lens we find commercial fuss as charger, USB cable, software, shoulder strap, instructions, etc. in the package.

Hardware impression:
The Sony is in a SLR camera body, the feel and the handling is accordingly well. Qualitatively, the camera is different here is not of comparable products of competitors. The body itself is handy and surprisingly lightweight, the lens screwed quickly and by unlocking even more quickly removable. Buttons and triggers are practically and provide a pleasant, popular, user-compatible pressure point. The rear LCD is secure and is (unfortunately) not swiveled still tilted, it has Sony - Respect - integrates a viewfinder.

Service:
Reminds me a bit of learning in doing, but is mostly fine. Each new camera requires more or less Teach - and acclimatization period, here is the ILCE no outstanding feature. The menu is typical Sony, ie somewhat convoluted and cryptic, fully comprehensive intuitive is probably different. That may be or may not be made at this point and therefore only mentioned relatively judgmental.

Camera users who - like me - like and often leave in focusing and image selection on the display can quickly and easily connect with the Sony friendship. It is more difficult to work with the viewfinder. I wear contact lenses and at first thought my lens has slipped, so the image looks blurred in some areas. And I like to have a jump in the dish, but no kink in the optics - here the focus position is a gamble and principle coincidence. That reminds me also helps the alleged 100% field of view coverage is not out of trouble.

Technology & Image Quality:
One can admire one page features, price and feel with every camera - ultimately counts in the end only the actual image quality. And even if this in some ways, to a significant extent on user behavior - is due and skill of the photographer, the corresponding hardware must deliver a good, perfect in the best case performance. Here a little separates the wheat from the chaff. Especially in daylight shots, the image quality is excellent, the images look tired color realistic and sharp.

This level is, however, difficult to sustain in difficult lighting conditions or at dusk and strong image noise sometimes clearly visible. This negative effect is certainly supported by the proverbial built and simply placed on the point Megapixelwahn Sony what sustainable is a mystery to me. The presses of 20 megapixels on the sensor so overburdened is also likely to be slow superfluous and meaningless even from advertising a strategic perspective, since this type of customer acquisition currently barely works. Thus, from "more is better" is a classic own goal.

In terms of completeness. Yes, of course, the camera also controls the video recording. Even in true HD format of 1920 x 1080. So much for the theory, I personally am concentrating only on every digital camera and solely on the photo features.

A final conclusion is difficult for me. Certainly, this new entry-level system from Sony ambitious amateur photographers a certain urge to buy. Using the Intelligent Auto succeed partly fantastic photos, also can be selectively measured using various interchangeable lenses and it can first positive / negative experiences in terms of "honest" manual photographing collected. However, should this not be forgotten that not to be underestimated Surcharges. More generally, the question arises to what extent such a system camera exceeds a really good compact camera or whether some low added value in the photo quality justifies the sometimes significantly higher purchase prices. In this respect, is the camera for me neither fish nor fowl. In any case, she loses in a direct exchange of blows with the beloved of my Panasonic Lumix DMC-G6KEG-K system camera (16 megapixels, 7.6 cm (3 inches) touch screen, WiFi, NFC) with lens Lumix G Vario F3,5-5, 6 / 14-42 ASPH. / MEGA OIS black considerable ground, although this comparison alone certainly does not seem justified in terms of the purchase price.

While the obvious misconstruction of the viewfinder is inevitably requires a devaluation of the price / performance ratio for what is offered, and taking into account the extent impeccable photo quality, a significant advantage. To prepare for full adulation is excluded, yet one moves at a relatively high level, which settles somewhere between three and four reviewer's stars. And according to the motto "the benefit of the doubt 'is then rounded up good-naturedly.

PS Parallel to the introduction of this camera is a growing family of lenses for the E-mount bayonet. In addition to a favorable portrait lens with 50mm focal length (SEL 50F18B) an objective of the reference class is offered with the SEL-1670Z NEX16-70mm, Zeiss, E-Mount - which will presumably apply more in the professional field.
