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, full 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 <strong>no</strong>t, 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 e<strong>no</strong>ugh, 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 />
<strong>no</strong>w be adjusted and<br />
tilted to allow for low<br />
or high angle compositions.<br />
