ILC (Interchangeable-lens compact camera), is not a new term. Many manufacturer have comes out with compact camera with interchangeable lens, example Panasonic and Samsung. But the newly launch NEX-3 Alpha sure is the talk of the town here. Recently launch by Sony, this is nice little camera with interchangeable lens.
What makes it special is the full APS-C sensor, with 14.3 Mega-pixel, and HD video capability. Well not really full HD, its 720p HD. This machine gives superb image quality with the size of compact camera. Plus it have nice appearance too, personally I love the red one. In our country it comes with 18-55 lens and also 16mm f/2.8 lens. With the capabilities matching DSLR, the price is not cheap too; costing RM2199 for the one with 18-55mm lens, near to price of an entry level DSLR. The lens choice is not much too, with the newly design “e-mount”.
This machine score pretty high score on color accuracy test and noise test, according to Popular Photography (August 2010 issue, pg. 69). It has overall rating of 4 and ½ stars out of 5 stars on PC Magazine (July 2010 issue, pg. 16).
Overall this is a camera for those who looking at superb image quality, with the size of compact camera. This is for those who wants manual control, interchangeable lens, yet have the portability of compact camera.
Cool!
ReplyDeleteIt's indeed perfect for those who want good photo quality, a little bit of bokeh, good video, small size and easy to carry.
perfect for those who likes to travel
