best Sony mirrorless cameras

While it looks almost identical to its predeccesor, faster focusing, less shutter lag, better video and stills, and an intuitive touchscreen interface are just some of the many improvements that have taken place under the hood, making this the best NEX camera and one of the best CSC's that we've reviewed.

I find the viewfinder to be remarkably good, better than optical viewfinders as I really see what I will get, and every time I look through it I am stunned at the fidelity.

I still have a soft spot for my Nikon, and greatly prefer the optical through-the-lens viewfinder to EVF or LCD, but objectively speaking, purely in terms of image quality per unit weight/size, there is no longer any real justification for DSLR.

The built-in flash also works well and can be angled.

Another new addition to the F3 is a built-in flash, so you no longer need to carry around Sony's small external flash.

The picture quality still delights me and the pink color is delightful!

Video is recorded in the high-quality AVCHD format, and both sound and picture quality are superb.

It shoots excellent video but the built in mic holes are on top of the camera, so they work well for picking up narration, not so well for external sound.
