WTF ?
Already, he should call 3100, then its lens is rotten and it is not even officially announced !
in the Nikon tradition, junk by steps of 100
They should of at least updated the viewfinder and LCD resolution. I meant I get that the EVF/LCD on the a3000 are bad because it’s cheap, but trust me when I say it was really REALLY bad.
“When using phase-detection AF, limited lenses will be compatible initially. Expansion is planned by body firmware update”
In other words, it will have OSPDAF.
Most probably just another Sony spec error.
But holy cow, this piece of shit is really expensive for what it is…
A- MOUNT IS DEAD.
EIGHT New E-mount cameras and counting in the last 12 months.
ZERO A-mount cameras in that time.
HOW CAN ANYONE POSSIBLY ARGUE THIS STATEMENT ANYMORE?!
LOL Shut up this is just a weak re hash .A77II On the way .
I can, just read my answer on this copied post in the previous topic.
In addition, the quick release of E-mount bodies is clearly a sign of a growing, immature system. A-mount is more stable thus models don’t need replacing every 6 months.
Good lord, what a piece of shit.
Interesting how they keep that nonsense “ISO16000” from the OLD SLT times.
Reminds me of: http://www.theonion.com/video/sony-releases-new-stupid-piece-of-shit-that-doesnt,14309/
It’s actually amazing how they managed to put out such a piece of shit. If I remember correctly, the D3200 kit was introduced at 600$ which is just 100$ more. If you consider how much more effort is required to build real SLR (or heck, even SLT), this dress-up NEX thing is utterly surreal.
D3200 was $699 at launch with kit lens in USA. I bought it, I know.
Hopefully soon we’ll hear about more interesting cameras and lenses.
It still has the crappy 230,400 dots screen, what a joke!
Serious question: what has changed in the camera body? The lens, I can see that. (and maybe it’s not even that bad) but the body seems identical or am I missing sth?
Not really regretting getting out of my sony gear. Got my D610 and 50mm 1.8. Sorry to see sony dumping a mount and updating low end e-mount bodies.
