The new features consist of a optical zoom control surrounding the shutter button, familiar to those who once used the camera having compact zoom size, and very suitable for the existing electric zoom lens. A new improved feature is processing BOINZ images based on the level of image noise reduction to improve mage quality when shooting in low light. A new feature is image auto adjustment, which can automatically cut the images based on the object, shoot portrait automatically, auto macroscopic and adjust AF tracking automatically based on the 3rd rule.

OSS PZ 16-50mm lens has optical image stabilization feature, and as the name, electric zoom, expanded when turning on, it can be controlled by using the front ring of the lens, nearby zoom control, and with NEX-3N (the first NEX camera with this feature) using the zoom rotating ring on the top. 35mm lens is equivalent to 24mm to 75mm, giving a good wide-angled view.

Sony NEX-3N not only has rubberized ring on the front, but it also has a rubberized ring on the back for the finger, which is much more improved than NEX-F3, as well as an ISO branding on the right of the rotating ring to control/move the options. This can be customized if you want to change it from default setting, and once set it will allow you to access some different options. There’re 2 "soft" button on the back of the camera, one of the buttons on the top is used to access Menu, and the second can be customized to access to the options faster.

A memory card slot can be found on the left under the HDMI / USB button, which can use the Sony storage or SD card. The camera has low pricing, with rubberized ring helping to create a good impression, and the quality seem to be extraordinarily good.

Menu

The menus of Sony NEX is not the best for use (Sony Cyber-shot or Alpha menu is better), but after a while it becomes easier to use when you get familiar to the position of the option. It’s possible to adjust the ISO soft button and the second button (no labeled) which helps to access the options faster.

Sony NEX-3N has 3inch tilted screen with 460k dot, though it’s not a touch screen. Image processing is good. It’s convenient for hand-holding and extremely compact with 16-50mm electric zoom lens.

Battery

Camera battery

Battery life is rated at 480 shots according to the Sony / CIPA testing result, which is excellent because it lasts longer than most of other mirror less cameras. Besides, the camera uses Sony InfoLithium battery which means that the camera will let you know exactly how much battery life remains.

Speed

We have taken some images to test the response of the camera, switching from the first images, shot by shot, with focus speed etc. we take some images and use the average to make sure that the resting result is accurate and consistent, making it easy to compare with other cameras.

·         Shutter Response: <0.05

·         Wide - Focus / Shutter Response: 0.3

·         Full zoom - Focus / Shutter Response: 0.3

·         Switch on Time to Taking a Photo: 2.1

·         Shot to Shot without Flash: 0.8

·         Shot to Shot with Flash: 0.9

·         Continuous Shooting – JPEG: 4 fps (10 shots)

·         Continuous Shooting – Flash: 0.8 s

·         Continuous Shooting – RAW: 4 fps (5 shots)

Shutter response is incredible, and the focusing speed is good. Switching in time is a little slow for this kind of camera because the electric zoom lenses have to expand. Continuous shooting is reasonable at 4fps and the camera will take 10 shots at JPEG format before slowing down.
