...let's start by saying the Sony ILCE-3000 ( a3000) will be the bloggers fodder for 2013 ... it is a 'marked man'... but, let me take it from the TOP ! ...bottom feeders beware !
Sony announced a few months ago that the SLT technology was going away...that means the beloved a33, a55, a58, a65, a77 and a99's were going to be replaced with some new version of technology...and behold it is called mirrorless. The ILCE-3000 (a3000) is the first of a series of these cameras. Simply put, Sony has taken the electronics of the NEX series, coupled a NEX E-mount lens bayonet and slammed the contraption into a DSLR style body... a NOT-A-Bad idea.
...so what we have here is a 20MP sensor (brand new chip), coupled with the admirably rated 18-50mm (27-83mm FOV ) kit lens and retailing for $400. I mean, we can stop right here ! The intricacies of the functions can be debated at will, and will-be... But you are looking at a 20mp Sony with full E-mount lens capability for under 400 bucks... (as photographed with the 50mm f1.8 prime E-mount lens)
...the drawback of the a3000 is that it is a 3000 series Sony, and is priced waaay accordingly and with a feature set typical of that series...including an EVF and LCD with adequate but not stellar resolution...but let me assure you that it DID NOT stop me from doing studio shoots straight out of the box (50mm f1.8 Prime).
Check the pix and you decide ??? (no post-processing)... I already have !!!
