Consumer Testimonials

So I purchased this camera last week and took it on a 5 day trip to Arches, Bryce Canyon, Canyonlands Nation Parks. It was terrific! We took video, pics, and everything. I sold my Nikon D80 and bought this and among the two, I consider the photos are significantly nicer on the NEX C3. My only gripe is that the battery could last a small longer. I purchased a massive 16GB card and I have to charge the battery about 3-four instances in order to fill the card now. So it would be great to have a small extra juice on the battery.
The camera is super smaller. I read all types of reviews, watched videos, etc.... but was not ready for how modest it was the moment I held it in my hands. I have pretty massive hands and it was a small weird to hold considering that of it. It wasn't a deal breaker by any signifies, but a thing to be conscious. It is tiny. The weight and most important bulk of the camera is the 18-55mm lens that comes with it, and not the camera body.
I've gone back and reviewed the video and photographs I took. I can't say any longer how significantly I have fallen in like with the camera. There is just so much good quality and value in this machine and I will advise it to anybody in the market place for some thing. I sold my HD camcorder and DSLR, then purchased this which replaces both with shining colors. I am fairly excited to continue utilizing it for the duration of the subsequent few weeks to understand even more and far more about it. Again, excellent buy and extremely encourage these who are thinking about it do just acquire it. They won't regret it.
