Made the decision to sell my NEX3 w/ 18-55mm kit lens

Really is in mint condition, comes with an 8Gb SD card, sony screen protector, sony case with room for additional 16mm pancake lens / accessories, as well as all the items that came in the box (lens hood, hotshoe flash, charger), will also throw in an M42 adapter

It's a very capable camera and the Sony NEX lenses review very well, I'd happily argue that it is comparable to an entry level dslr in most scenarios and you get the weight/size bonus too.

The NEX cameras are a brave and interesting attempt to redefine the camera. We weren't impressed with the cameras when we first encountered them but an unexpectedly significant firmware update has dramatically improved the shooting experience for enthusiast users.

For users hoping to point-and-shoot, the NEX cameras do pretty well, if not brilliantly. The 'Bkground Defocus' option in iAuto mode gives easy access to one of the main advantages of a large sensor - the ability to control depth-of-field. Disappointingly it doesn't make clear what it's doing (changing aperture) and risks being actively unhelpful in some circumstances (using F22-F32 won't yield the 'crisp' images the interface promises,, for instance). Being restricted to AutoISO, and hence a maximum of ISO 1600, reduces the advantage these cameras should offer over a good compact.

Battery life is closer to that of a compact camera than anything a DSLR user will be used to, so how much of a problem you find it will depend on your expectations.

Where the NEXs really impress is the PASM modes where you can take full advantage of the large, very capable sensor. The feature sets are impressive, as are the NEX's portability and flexibility. They don't render the DSLR obsolete by any means, but they present one of the most compelling options for someone wanting DSLR image quality without the bulk.

I completely agree with the above, if you're after getting into photography a little more than a compact will allow but don't really want the bulk and price of a dslr this is definitely a contender, in the manual modes I've been pleasantly impressed how well I've been able to match my friend's Canon 550D

This owes me an easy £450 given the accessories with it, so I'm going to ask for £250 but always open to sensible offers

Located in Coventry and I'd be happy to let you have a play with it, if not I can post for £10 extra.

would you take £210 for it.

Hi, looking at the other items on eBay this is currently the cheapest of this camera with the 18-55 lens, the other is listed at £275 and does not come with an SD card, so for this reason I am not ready to lower the price yet, apologies!

Is this still available?

Sorry I hadn't got round to updating

Now sold, mods please lock!
