Pros: Câmera pequena, bateria de boa duração, foco preciso, bom desempenho de ISO até 3200, imagens nítidas com cores bonitas e preto & branco bem contrastado, botões externos permitem acesso fácil a configurações.

Cons: Não tem visor.

Opinion: Tenho a Sony Nex F3 desde 2012 e ainda a utilizo em 2022, como segunda câmera, mas usando-a com frequência. É uma câmera pequena e leve, principalmente se utilizarmos uma lente prime, e o manuseio dela é agradável. A bateria tem boa duração. Os menus da Sony não eram muito apreciados, porém essa câmera tem alguns botões que permitem acesso fácil a determinadas funções. As filmagens são boas. O LCD móvel permite selfies. A lente zoom que acompanhava a câmera é apenas razoável. Utilizo nela a Sigma 30mm 2.8, a Zeiss Sonar 35mm 2.8 e a Sigma 18-50mm 2.8, com resultados muito satisfatórios. Gosto muito das fotografias em preto e branco que essa câmera faz. Com dez anos de uso, ela não apresenta sinais de desgates nem teve defeitos.

Pros: Very small luminaire in size. Excellent sensor yield. Many lenses available, including Sony originals and third parties.

Cons: The lack of viewfinder, in certain light conditions, is really annoying and forces you to shoot practically blindly

Opinion: I bought this used car in 2023, paying it 90 €, including the 18-55 lens, so the considerations must be made taking into account these aspects. I needed a "spare wheel" for my A7II that would allow me to mount all Sony E lenses. The 16 megapixel sensor performs well, at least up to 3200 ISO, besides I try not to go. The focus is quite responsive, despite the camera being technically outdated. I also tried it with several recent FE lenses and it does not show problems, perhaps just a little slow to focus with the 70-300 Tamron, but given the device, very small and not stabilized, I think I will hardly use it with this lens. The biggest limitation is the lack of viewfinder, because in bright light, it can be very difficult to see something in the display. The battery, the same as other ML Sony APSC and also the first series of A7, is small, but all in all, given the lack of viewfinder, which consumes a lot, it is more than acceptable. With my A7II I have never been able to make an output with a battery, but I have always had to mount the second, and sometimes even the third, with this Nex I can go home without changing battery. The menus are the usual Sony ones, cumbersome and quite uncomfortable, but since I'm already used to it, it was not a trauma for me.

Pros: Portable, sensor, MAF points, vertically oriented screen, video, object tracking, MAF speed, ISO sensitivity, energy saving.

Cons: View view sold separately, cumbersome menus, screen brightness, display meter, battery life, does not have sensor cleaning.

Opinion: I have owned it for about 6 months, the use mainly to make landscapes, with the 18-55 kit is quite cumbersome, the thing I like about this machine is the sensor that for the age it has, and still great, gives beautiful colors and a lot of detail. Convenient selection of the MAF point that covers about 80% of the display, brightness' display good as long as there is not much sun, in this case you can't see and you can't rely on the display that is slightly stared, tends to lightly underexpose. The MAF in optimal light conditions is lightning, a little less in low light conditions, but you can help with the assisted focus, that is, after the machine has focused, you can make micro adjustments through the MAF ring. Very comfortable the dial that also has the function of keys and allows us to move very quickly in the menu' which is complex and cumbersome. Excellent key customization that the machine offers you, to speed up all selections (ISO, MAF Point, Exposure Measurement and more). At the level of sensitivity iso, the lowest and 200, and reaches 16000, but you can use only up to 6400, so as to overexpane slightly and do a great processing in the post, the sensitivity' 12800 and 16000 are unusable. As for the video sector, I tried l, tracking the subject and I have to say that it works well. It has the power-saving function that you can manage as you want, the battery does not last much, especially if you use it with the energy saving turned off and the screen brightness to the maximum. Another negative note, it does not have sensor cleaning and does not even have the function, that when you change lens or turn off, the shutter tendons do not lower, so the sensor always stays in the open. As an overall rating I give 8/10. If you find it at about 150 euros used and with a few shots and a great toy to carry always with you and never miss a moment especially when combined with the 16-50. Great for those who do
