First Impressions: Sony NEX 3N


This is a brief excerpt from thePhoBlographer




Sony recently announced the NEX 3N in the US and we were fortunate enough to join the company at the Museum of Natural History on a little tour of the area as well as some personal hands on time. The 3N and 3 series in general have always been amazingly great when it comes to ergonomics and the 3N is no exception. But the weird thing is the zoom lever now added in around the shutter release. Otherwise, the camera was very comfortable to hold and shoot with–though sometimes limiting. Despite that, this is one stylish looking camera.

We tested a pre-production version and our copy was literally right out of Japan. In fact, the menus were all in Japanese and I had to use my knowledge to try to navigate around. I was able to shoot some JPEG files but for some odd reason, the camera mostly saved the RAWs instead. However, the JPEG files I shot were final production quality–which tells us that Sony is using a previous sensor in this camera.
