I love how the power key looks like a film loader.

[@AaliyahMiller]

Recently bought this camera and found this video very helpful in understanding the functions and features of the camera.

[@bordignonjunior]

No mention of how long the exposure time can go. Does it have bulb mode? does the ISO is limited at longer exposures? And a few image samples of low light would help a lot with your review.

[@moanakeikii]

Question: On the bulb setting, how do I keep the shutter open until I decide to close it?Is there a cable release like older SLR's? Thanks.

[@MedySiregar]

Thank for the review. Do you have reflector or other light to fill in from the viewer angle? Too dark.

[@nadiahughes5944]

thanks for sharing this helped me a lot

[@ongxeno]

Can you give me the link to the video that you mentioned? I can't find it

[@pipsqueakism]

can you shoot overhead shots- if you shoot with it upside down with the screen facing downwards?

[@michelsvideos]

no touch screen, but, is it faster autofocus than nex5n, like the panasonic and nikon v1, the very quick focus and shooting.

[@onQQuincy]

Couldn't you just hold the camera upside down to get the overhead shot? with the flip out screen?

[@AnthonyPtak]

Micro hdmi or mini hdmi?

[@TheCruizer]

European models shoot vids in 25p or 50i. Weird (yes, I know PAL/NTSC), but why can't I choose the framerate myself, if both are native on the cam?

[@nathaliejohnson4811]

HELLO PLEASE RESPOND BACK....I CAN'T AUTO-FOCUS ON MY SONY NEX F3. EVEN WHEN I HAVE THE LENS ATTACHED, IT SAYS IT CAN'T RECOGNIZE MY LENS...I DON"T UNDERSTAND WHY IT'S DOING THAT.

[@AnthonyPtak]

Do a reset for the camera settings

[@s13n1]

Hey Jim, we need you to record a video of the NEX-F3. "Sure i can do that. Any guidelines?" Nah not really, just the usual youtube video stuff. "Okay, cool i can do that" Oh just one more thing, you have to wear this peg on your nose and your budget is $3. "Oh.."

Mind blowing that this camera had Full HMDI out lol

[@jhaig101]

His voice makes me want to stomp kittens....

[@9400917]

I love mine. I like to learn to use it better

[@VaFreeways]

So you must like your cameras extremely front-heavy? Just saying this camera is inferior just because it's a little bigger doesn't really tell the entire story. I handled the C3 and hated how out of balance it felt even with the kit lens. The F3 is a much more comfortable camera to shoot with overall.

[@forme4us]

Hey there, do you know "MagicSFXphoto" (do a Google search for it)? There you can watch a good free video showing the way to take outstanding photos. It made it possible for Joe to create photos that have that wow-effect any time you look at them. It might help you also...

[@TheGrandBrand]

Why not care to show the manual freaking mode

[@judck]

Imho the biggest letdown on NEX 3 series... It does not have any kind of remote shutter.

[@poiXquared]

11:09

[@siliconwitch]

As in the joke was dead before it started :P

[@rosalynecarter148]

Hello, have you heard about "Photo SFXart Tricks" (just google it)? On their website you can watch a useful free video demonstrating the right way to create outstanding photos. It made it easier for Joe to take photos that have a jaw-dropping-effect while you look at them. It might help you too...

[@gc8972b]

It's probably hard to accept .... you'll be fine

[@vincentgordon97]

@ 03:40 he is lying, watch any other review video and you will see that the screen pulls out more and you can tilt it up and down. it is the same on all Sony NEX camera's!!!!

[@fernandokreutz03]

This is not a review. It's more a comparison.

[@ExistedUsername]

14th comment

[@marksaal]

You kind of look like E.T.

[@flog3rt]

Fifth comment, smurfs.

[@hemantnoval]

lol.... way to not talk ANYTHING about the picture quality in a damn CAMERA!!! I think it's a way more proportionate camera. C3 looks like it has a down syndrom!! secondly, why would you ever pick a camera that doesn't have in-built flash?

[@megabojan1993]

Hehe I hope he does not LOOK like E.T. :D

[@siliconwitch]

12th comment... STFU THE JOKE DIED 13 COMMENTS AGO!

[@TheCruizer]

FU!!!

[@junfence]

What kind of review is this. The video is 12 minutes and he managed to spend 4 minutes just talking about the tilting screen and not mentioning anything about the picture quality....

[@aulia0114]

the way he says "NEX" is so annoying

[@sanjeevmraman]

blah, blah, blah

[@toasterdance]

This is beyond boring.
