A camera which I used for less than a year. The Sony NEX-3. Although it was pretty much capable of producing some very nice pictures, it was a drag to manual focus (even with peaking focus). Plus, some of my pictures looked perfectly sharp on the screen (which is also terrible if you're used to a viewfinder. I even wished for my Canon 350D in low light scenery) but when viewed back on my computer screen the focus once so perfect was gone. But nevertheless, it served as a nice novice camera. Below are some pics shot with the NEX-3.
On this pic you can see the "out-of-focus" problem which I mentioned. And serious, on the screen it looked perfect.
I like this one. This was shot at Koog Zaandijk, near "De Zaansche Schans". Shot has been processed with Picasa.
One of my favorite settings. High contract B&W. Too bad about the subject. These are just a sample of the built-in fx. You can do it in most editors, like GIMP/Photo/Paintshop but working with built-in effects has something definite to it. To be clear, you select the picture effect and you shoot. Jpeg only :(
So if you have a great subject but your choice of effect doesn't add anything extra... Can't reset it.
Because of a malfunction of the AC, the fire-escape was open giving me a change to make this shot. Was taken with a really cool feature HDR. (Cool for me because it was the first time I used it)

Opposite to the built-in effects, this also shoots a normal unadjusted jpeg. Which is great if you've forgotten to turn it off. It renders the 3 bracket-shot by itself. Sony does a very nice job compared with other camera brands with the same feature.
Construction, construction. They're building a new place for a bank or something like that. No crisis at all.

Shot was taken with a very very nice feature from Sony, Handheld Twilight mode. 6 frames shot at ISO 6400 and camera generates 1 pic. Again, nice.
