Much better than you think

I bought the 3000 as a second camera for NEX 5N because this is the perfect complement:
- It can use the existing lenses
- Viewfinder and ISO hotshoe available
That you get otherwise only in the NEX 6, which costs twice as much.

When I read my previous recessions, I have two thoughts on the authors:
1) An entry-level camera may / may not be good
2) make only once with the functions and options familiar and then scold

Of course, the scope of equipment and the price is entry accordingly. Sony would indeed certainly can sell a 5000 and 7000 in the coming months. A folding screen would be fine and bla and blubb, but really as a defect list ??? Ne.

The electronic viewfinder is much criticized by the way, in my view top! Because they thereby directly see the result and not, as has an optical viewfinder, imagine. The image taken you can then also be show. The picture is not really out of focus or the like. And who can not see the focus, you can focus the area display color. White, red, yellow available, with different strength. So read a lot about manual. Who does not know: when something is framed in the viewfinder / display with the color corresponding to the set, it is sharp. Similar to the red point in the EOS. Easy does it really hard ...

From me, therefore, an absolute buy recommendation as a second camera for NEX.
If it should be the only one, then definitely lacks the folding screen!
