Sony Alpha NEX-F3 (with 18-55mm lens, Black)

Pros: handling the camera has become very easy with the larger body yet sturdy. high-quality video, useful features and modern, large sensor provides an easy to dramatize the effect of DOF.

Cons: no OSS features on body.
lack a lens adapter for other vendor to set on such AF, AE, Manual Assists, and OSS features.
less than ideal for a marathon video capture related issues overheat.
LCD angle; less than ideal to framing from above.

Summary: I climbed the visual world with a major in visual communication design. I am interested in Cinematography got me looking for a camera with that ability. with a limited budget, I found Nex F3 as a starting place to create a footprint trail. interchangeable lens, big sensor, etc. .. with all its capabilities, this camera so far has helped me in the work. this is my camera number 1 at the moment. at least until I can buy professional video camera such as VG20.
