Sony NEX-7

An older camera with a lot of years left in it. This is easily one of the best bargains for a Sony APSC-sized sensor camera out there. It is 16 megapixels which seems low by todays standards, but keep in mind that many people are happy with 12 megapixel cameras on iPhones. The big difference is that different lenses can be used, noise suppression can be manipulated in RAW files and pixel peepers will get more detail. It is a Sony model so getting native lenses won't be a problem. Even old manual lenses from other cameras can be used with adapters. There is a zoom-to-focus button so when I use my old Zeiss knockoff Jupiter-8 lens, I can be sure that I'm getting the shot pin sharp. I like having more control over my camera than I could get with my iPhone and this is the perfect solution. Another important feature is that I can use almost any 3rd party remote shutter release with it. The NEX models before and after it didn't have that option included. NEX models that can be remotely shutter released are dependent on Sony support since it is a software-only option. The problem is as those models get older, Sony will stop supporting them and remote shutter release will stop working. Owners of those camera models won't have any other choices then. The 3N is future proof in that regard.Read full review

a very easy camera to us This is my 3 rd Nex it has taken 3 types to get it right. /Started with a C 3 and then a 5000. I also use a a Alpha a 57 and this camera is equal and as good as the Nex-7 ,but with the mechanics of the a 77. Picture quality is excellent for a used camera, and the feel is just fine and to use is just as great. I have 2 e mount lens a 18-55 mm and a 55-210 lens also. With my LA_EA 2 adapter all my other Sony and Minolta lens work also. I would say that Nex-7 is excellent camera and I would recommend it for any one who is a step away from the Sony a 7 series cameras. This how I plan on going in the near future.

This is definitely a great product for everyone to enjoy! 5/5 Great camera for beginners. I wanted to get a camera that I could make youtube videos with and do a little photography and this was perfect. The camera quality is absolutely stunning and the flash actually makes the quality better. Camera lightens up pictures even in dark areas, really really cool. I've tried a ton of nikon cameras and this is just a winner. Shoots 1080p for around 25-30 minutes and is really fast. The camera can be a little noisy when taking the pic but it's not that bad, just a normal click. It's a little top heavy ( because of the lens) which .. coming from point and shoots was definitely something I had to get used to. I am now! Starter lens is perfect. Battery lasts a really long time. Very happy with this product 5/5. Pros: Long lasting battery life, excellent photo/video quality, Perfect for beginners, fast shutter speed, starter lens is very very good Cons: Its not really a con just the weight of the lens is noticeable. I'm just starting out with the EVIL cameras before i move on to a dslr so.. with any camera with detachable lenses there's going to be some carry weight.Read full review
