Sony NEX-F3<br />

The camera-King-to-be!<br />

Price: $498<br />

CAMERA<br />

�Sony NEX-F3 is in the same line as its mirror less camera predecessors.<br />

Sony, as we all agree, has astounded us again with this new product.<br />

Though you will find some people carping about it, it does have some<br />

special features that are considerable. Successor to NEX-C3 model<br />

it features a 16.1 megapixel Exmor sensor, <strong>full</strong> HD (50i/25p) video recording,<br />

burst shooting, real flash, 25 point contrast-defect autofocus<br />

system, 3-inch 180° tilting LCD panel, built-in-flash and what not, it’s<br />

a lot to take in !<br />

Along with the features, NEX-F3 comes with an impressive<br />

design, a little austere compared to the competitors,<br />

particularly from the front. All we find<br />

on the faceplate is a small porthole-shaped<br />

window for the self timer lamp, curved<br />

battery-sized and a dimpled surface for<br />

a firmer hold. Placed atop the camera,<br />

is the new integrated pop-up<br />

flash.<br />

Surprisingly enough, despite<br />

weighing only 225g, Sony NEX-F3<br />

still feels solid gripped in the palm.<br />

The new shutter location is much an<br />

improvement, falling quite naturally<br />

under the right fore-finger<br />

whilst supporting the<br />

rest of the camera. The<br />

3D LCD screen can<br />

now be adjusted and<br />

tilted to allow for low<br />

or high angle compositions.<br />
