Sony of our readers will remember the Sony Ultra Compact DSLR concept camera that we showed you a while back. Well, it looks like Sony has finally released some details about it, and it is now called the Sony EVIL Nex 3.
The Sony EVIL Nex 3 features a 14.2 megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor, and a Sony E series lens mount, plus a 7.5 cm LCD screen, and an ISO sensitivity of 200 to 12,800. This impressive range of ISO sensitivity allows photographers to capture images in various lighting conditions, from bright daylight to dimly lit environments, ensuring versatility and high-quality results.
Compact Design and Build
The Sony Nex 3 measures 117.2mm by 62.6mm by 33.4mm and weighs in at just 297g. This compact and lightweight design makes it an ideal choice for photographers who need a portable yet powerful camera. Despite its small size, the Nex 3 does not compromise on performance, offering features typically found in larger DSLR cameras.
The camera is capable of recording HD video in 720p at 30 frames per second. This video capability is perfect for capturing high-definition memories, whether you’re filming a family event or creating content for social media. The combination of high-resolution stills and HD video makes the Nex 3 a versatile tool for both photographers and videographers.
LCD Display and User Interface
One thing that seems to be different from what we heard before is that the LCD display is not a touchscreen, something which looked amazing when the original user interface photos were revealed. While the lack of a touchscreen might be a disappointment for some, the LCD screen still offers clear and vibrant display quality, making it easy to review photos and navigate the camera’s settings.
The user interface of the Nex 3 is designed to be intuitive, allowing users to quickly access and adjust settings. This ease of use is particularly beneficial for beginners who are new to photography, as well as for experienced photographers who need to make quick adjustments on the go.
As soon as we get some more details on the Sony NEX 3 and something official from Sony, we will let you guys know.
