Sony NEX-3N review – Our verdict
Sony has delivered a capable, pocketable camera with the convenience of a compact. While the Power Zoom control makes perfect sense when used with a compatible lens, only two such lenses exist. The lack of an accessory port also suggests that Sony is targeting the NEX-3N at a user with little intention of building up a system.
That user is unlikely to be concerned by the camera’s metering or white balance systems, or the detail produced by the lens, but may take umbrage at the lack of a more prominent indicator lamp and the lacklustre performance of the LCD screen. For this reason, the camera is perhaps best suited to those who won’t be using it often for burst shooting or in challenging shooting/lighting conditions.
