“$398 A3000 with lens […]”
It’s either “great deal” or “what’s the catch.”
Considering that the A3000 would be pitched against the prev-gen Panasonic G5, “the price is right” anyhow. IMO.
I would say, with the price it would also have no problem going against the 1100D and D3200. Even the lens catalog is irrelevant here, since the potential target audience predominantly shoots with the kit lenses.
$400 for the A3000 with a viewfinder and 20MP sensor, or $700 for the NEX-5T with no viewfinder and the same old 16MP sensor.
Yeah, I know there’s other differences (like the LCD), but the price premium for compact mirrorless cameras still makes me sigh. And they wonder why these things aren’t catching on in the US?
If the FF NEX rumor turns out to be smoke, I have to wonder what plan Sony has for their cameras.
