Bought the NEX-F3 on eBay yesterday. I had this camera before in 2014, but it drowned in the Indian Ocean. I missed this camera so bad, I had to find it. I'm in love again.

I can't tell how much you've help me, i always look at the fancy, newest, expensives cameras, and here in Brazil an Sony A7iii it's over 15k reais (body only) the minimum wage its 1,2k, you have to work a full year and more to buy this camera, and i found it the sony nex c3 foi 600 reais, it's compact, mirroles aps-c, i shoot street photograpy for fun and this is camera has my heart for the price x benefit, thank you so much for showing me this camera!!!!

Now I feel good about taking 'that old camera' my dad gave me.

You're videos have been super helpful in figuring out which camera is which and which one does what. It's tough trying to buy them on eBay when the descriptions are vague and they lack photos. Now I know what I am looking for. Thank you!

Great video. Great information. Thanks

Great reviews! Thank you so much for providing these information. If you don't mind, may I know what camera did you use to record this KZfaq? The quality is so good

GREAT WORK ON THE REVIEW!

Very bright young man! Very informative videos! Thankyou. Subscribed:)

Thank you for your review!!

I love your videos! You help me a lot, greetings from argentina 🧡

Just picked one of these up for $75, including lens and accessories. Thanks for the video. Can’t wait to start using it.

Niceee... simple and straightforward. 👊👊

I was looking for a "new" camera as a wanted to get back into photography. I used to shoot with an SLR film camera from about 1980 until around 1998, I used to use a Cosina, fully manual, SLR for street shooting mainly. I loved that camera because it was so small and I could fit it in my pocket, it became an extension of me I didn't have to think about settings because there weren't any, as long as the shutter was over say 60 I could get a usable shot. Watching your videos where you talked about the NEX line of cameras reminded me of the way people thought of the Cosina cameras at the time, the people who knew how good they were kind of kept it quiet. Anyway, to cut a long story short I got the chance to have a Sony NEX 6 for a month and if I liked it then I could buy it. I have had it for two weeks now and I just went ahead and bought it, it is an astonishing little camera for photography as especially street work, I'm sure people think I am just using a mobile phone so ignore me, it perfect I cant wait to start using my old PK lenses on it, focus peaking ingenuine. Thank you for the recommendations for the NEX line and thanks for the great videos.

I can only agree with you. Especially using vintage lenses works great. I love the double tap function on the touch screen for focus magnification and pressing the shutter lighty to go back to the full Image - which strangely doesn't work on my A7iii. I'm happy with the images it produces up to ISO 800 (1600 is the limit in my opinion). If anyone is looking for a sharp vintage lens, I very much recommend the Pentax smc 50mm 1.7 for K-Mount which goes for around 30$ and performs great even wide open whilst being very compact. I mainly use it when going out, which let's me relax without having to worry about any expensive gear.

Great video. Wich camera you think would be better? The sony nex 5 or samsung nx2000?

Just purchased the Nex 5R, fun little camera.

I love your video. Great review!

I bought an NEX 6 this week. I'm super excited!

I just picked up a NEX 5 for like $20 i tried my konica vintage lenses on it. It's definitely has a different look than my other higher end modern cameras. The raw files produce some very cool images. I'm not impressed with the jpgs, just ok. But the raw files do develop nicely. The focus peaking is pretty good, i shoot aperture priority, i adjust the compensation, and it's very consistent. So once i get it dialed in I can mostly just shoot. It was not banged up but someone left it in a dusty box without a lens. I just wiped the dust of the sensor, and it's working fine.

Cinematic little beasts...i like that!

Got one last month after watching your video. SONY NEX-5K. PLEASE MAKE SOME MORE VIDEOS ON THIS TOPIC. INTERESTED TO WATCH.

Which one of those nex series camera would you recommend for live streaming and taking photos?

Got 2 (Nex5 + Nex5r) now with FD Lenses (Favorite 28mm & 35mm) - Awesome! Someone ruined my a65 and did not want to spend the cash. Thanks to your vid!

I impulse grabbed a 5r used w/ nikon case + stock lens + flash, from a pawn shop few months ago (180 CAD I believe, about 140 USD, knowing sony made killer mirrorless from the original A7 I owned years ago (with zeiss lenses.. fking amazing but $$$$). I didn't expect it to be incredible, but did expect it to be solid. However, this camera is friggin nuts, it actually is incredible! I was surprised by the clarity and colour from what I guess is the stock tele lens it came with. The 35 or 55mm zeiss + a7 beats it, as it should obviously, but this thing is no joke, and doesn't cost like $800-1100 CAD for the zeiss lens and hundreds for the body. It's insanely good value. For like 10% of the price of an A7 setup, you're getting probably 75-85% of the quality I'd say, maybe higher with better lenses even. Thats definitely no joke. Even a camera 75% as good as a $1500-2000 setup is pretttty fucking good still lol. Agree with this video for sure, the 5R at least is an insanely good cam for the age, size, and price.

First time I see your channel Continue doing this , you will be big in no time , just send me a camera of your choice when you hit the one million mark

Yeah! I agree. I just bought a 5N with a lens for $200 AU

I have a Sony Nex-6, purchased in 2013. Took great pictures of many hiking trips. Have always had issues with moisture affecting functionality. Then had a bad battery issue which seemed to mess up the menu functioning. Replaced batteries and seemed to work properly again. Then, took it on a recent backpacking trip where it was very moist. Menu functions started automatically running through various menu settings, and couldn't really stop things. Still, I got some fantastic photos from the hike with my Nex-6. However, I'm thinking that it may be time to replace the camera, because on the trail, 5-7 days out at a time, reliability is critical. So, any recommendation on a different camera or upgrade? Do any cameras still use these lenses? I do have a nice telephoto lens for the Nex-6. I like the size and handling of the Nex-6. I hope to advance my skills to time-lapse and other videos for vlogging. What is the best water-resistant camera, possible extra housing for water-tightness? Maybe you have addressed these issues in other videos. If so, please point me to them.

I ordered myself a Sony NEX 5n this week it should arrive before Tuesday. I'm super hyped :D

I'm crazy. Since I couldn't decide, so I finally bought two systems: Sony Nex and Canon M. I found a good deal on a Canon M100 with the kit lens for $250usd and found a Sony Nex 3 with the 16mm and 18-55mm for $125usd, used but like new, with the sony bag.

My Nex 6 still takes great pictures and decent video's.

I totally agree with your words. I bought a Nex 5R, learned how to shoot video and now I'm thinking about upgrading, but the lenses will be the same. Nice camera, ideal for beginners. For photography it's just perfect for this price. The video is not that great, but still, this is a great starter camera.

I bought the nex f-3 in december for $200 with the kit lens. I was using the nikon D90, and definitely it was a huuuge upgrade on my photography level. For it's price, it's an excellent camera.

Thank you

I returned to this video just to comment that I've bought an Nex F3. I'm super excited to test it.

Thanks to you I'm gonna get an NEX 6. I've found that i don't really need all the features of the a6000

use nex 6 still working & great 1080 video decent for my needs. cool stil worth it compared to new camera nowadays..

Going to get the nex vg20

Thanks

Hi I have an NEX 5n, here's a question: Is it possible to use my 2014 Macbook Pro as a video monitor using a cable from the camera? Do I need to install some kind of software or app to make this happen? Or is it possible at all? Thanks and let me know if you know

Just found a nex 5 plus two lens for 59 euro . Great camera ,, highly recommended

I will buy a Sony Nex F3 for a photography beginner do you consider its better the Sony Nex 5N than Nex F3? Thanks

What do you thinking about sony nex 7 ?

Hah. Of course, now I can't find any of these for under 150-200usd.

If I found this video earlier then I would be able to make a better decision. I should pay more in accessories rather than buying a expensive camera body. I have buy sony a6400 body with kit lens recently. With that amount I would be able to collect all those youtube gear. But now... there is nothing to do.... Thanks for your nice video... Greetings from Bangladesh. Love you man...

The only think that is disapointing , is that their is no silent shutter until A61000, but i really like my A6000 with sel18105 and my nikkor 50mm 1.8. I just bought an "old " GX7 micro 4/3 as second camera hope it will enjoy me like the A6000, and i will have silent shutter , that important for me now.

Is nex 5r can be use for live streaming?

Can also be used in astrophotography 🌠

I would recommend Sony Alpha NEX-7 it has HDR Video And 60fps and high resolution video

Hi my friend,I live in turkey and i want to buy Sony nex3,what can you say about

can you make a video how to use nex cameras a webcam

Can you compare Sony Nex 5R with any iphone.

What is the most compact Sony e mount lense

Do you know of a cage that fits the nex 5n

I’ll post a review when I receive mine.

I own a NEX-5N. Which macro lens would you recommend for shooting pictures of watches?

Just bought a NEX 3N Body for 89€ in very good condition. I think it is still a pretty good deal without a lens.

I hate videos with way too many ads. This okay video is one of them.

Why nex 5t is not included?

is sony nex 5 video better than modern flagships (iPhone 11 pro max)

Do you know what the letters refer to in the model names? (N… T… R…)

what about Sony NEX 7 ?

- Size - Choice of lenses - Price - Video quality - Upgrade-ability I saved you 10 minutes.

Shame that these great cameras have a hybrid metal/plastic lens mount bayonet that gets wobbly and loose overtime. The simple fix is buying the Tough E-mount lens mount conversion kit which is a full metal bayonet like the Sony a6300 and later cameras.

Would work as a webcam?

Hi why if i uploaded the video in FB the resolution and outcome of the video is not good.CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW CAN IUPLOAD video in FB with same quality.im using nex 5r

I just purchased the NEX 5N at a Pawn shop for 120.00. Remains to be seen if it's a sweet deal or not.

Sony nex5r/6/7. Which sony nex will be the best for video with good autofocus and manual control in iso, shutter, white balance, best image quality?

i have on of these you can can add flash or even a boom mic or other type of mic. flip the tab on the top open

They were the best cameras on the market 10 years ago and still they are great Now in these days in 2023 there were only improvements with tracking and.other things so yeah it is up to you to upgrade but I will not maybe later

No joke, NEX is the best cheap mirrorless ever, even nex1, video quality is super, I used nex 5n , want to upgrade for nex6/7 😁, nex is underrated with super power camera ,hahahaha, just one problem, over heat 🤣

What’s up. I have the NEX 5T Witch one is better out of the nex 5 lineup?

Any of them have clean HDMI out to use as a webcam with something like an elgato cam link?

you should of got the NEX 6... body sooo close to the a6000

I always wonder how the cheap prices you announce (around 70 bucks) turn into more than 200 euros when we are in Europe... :-(

can Sony Nex 5 ( not the N or R) do 1080 60fps?

What Sony camera would you recommend that’s under 1000$ the has a shoe port

Who got the settings for this camera?

I'm getting a NEX 5R, just the body (mint) in just $55 USD.

I found another hack for my Sony Nex5n 😅🔥🔥😅 hohem isteady multi gimbal for $100 has max payload of 400grams... with my Sony Nex5n weight being only 265grams and 390grams with the sel1855 lens .... make it perfect for this cheap 3 in 1 gimbal with 400grams payload support and it has mirrorless camera plate on it

You gotta Sub! and a Like I have a 5R now I don't wanna sell it! I had a 5100 and sold that instead. Just bought a Ring to Pentax as my uncle has a lot of K mount.

E mount? You mean I can mount even full frame lenses?

The c3 for its TINY size

Had to turn the music down ! Then couldn't hear the vioce !

I got a NEX 5N and NEX 6. Great for video! 60fps 1080p. Also I got a 50mm 1.8 lens, great photos! Check my NEX 6 photos at IG @eduardo_araki

Sony nex 5t is good in 20,000 Pakistani rupees without touch

If you think about it, technically Samsung phones and iPhones are Sony mirrorless cameras because Sony makes their cameras.

Can you sell me one

No thanks, I just got an A6400 for Christmas.
