Great for streaming live I'm using this compact zoom for a dedicated camera for providing telemedicine to my patients. Paired with a Sony NEX 7. It has a just right range of focal lengths. The power zoom makes it easy to reach up to the tripod for framing the view. Clear high quality video conferencing.
Good basic lens for your sony not a high end lens, this was a replacement for a broken original lens, Be careful these are very easy to break . Not so durable they will break if you drop and fixing cost as much as replacing so be careful with this lens. It is a good overall lens for the Sony e-mount Sony Alpha NEX‑3N 16.1 MP Mirrorless Digital camera but not recommended on the High end full frame such as a 7s Sony,
Not bad! If money is an issue, and you mainly shoot "snapshots" or need a pocket type of system for that easy to go to, the best camera I have is the that I have with me, then this is a good little lens. Folds into your axxx and will fit in a large pocket or a small side bag. RAW images need a lot more correction, where the JPEGS are corrected in camera. Food vacation type of lens to have.
