Small and lightweight, tilting screen, APSC sensor, impressive image quality
No dedicated mode dial, menu system is fiddly and needs getting used to
The NEX-3N is a great camera if you've outgrown your point-and-shoot, and it offers a superb blend of useful features and impressive performance at a price that won't make you sputter. You also have the flexibility of choosing from a vast range of E-mount...
Compact form factor, APS-C sensor for the price of a point and shoot, Fast AF, Amazing high ISO performance
Menu system is a little obtuse, Kit lens doesn't do macro
The Alpha NEX-3N is the best camera you can buy for under Rs. 30,000. If you were considering getting an advanced point and shoot, forget it. Get the Alpha NEX-3N instead for its bigger sensor, incredibly compact size and the versatility of being able to ...

Why drop the screen resolution to 460,000 dots?, Kit lens makes the camera slow to start up, No way to connect an external viewfinder
The Sony NEX-3N is our new star model in the entry-level mirrorless camera market. With the kind of quality and versatility you'd usually expect from an SLR all packed into a camera that's smaller than many expert compacts, this NEX has enormous potential...
