Digitalrev tested which mirrorless camera is the best for manual focusing with third party lenses. They compared the new [shoplink 7207]Sony NEX-C3[/shoplink] with the Olympus E-P3 and Panasonic GF3. Just look at the video to see the winner!
Sony will soon announce the NEX-7 and NEX-5N but as I have already told you those cameras will be in Stock in October only. So if you need a NEX camera now take a look at the NEX-C3 which is now in Stock in most stores. Here is the US-Europe Stock status check:
The Black NEX-C3 with 18-55mm lens is now in Stock in US at Amazon (Click here) and [shoplink 7207 ebay]eBay (via european/asian resellers)[/shoplink]
Almost all different NEX-C3 kits and color options are in Stock in Europe at Amazon.de, Amazon.uk, Redcoon.pl, Redcoon.es, and [shoplink 7207 ebay]eBay[/shoplink].

Don’t expect any serious comparison though …
That guy is so annoying…
I really like that guy
hahahaha… people complained when he reviewed the NEX-C3, he just trolled back… hahahaha…
Same here. He just seems like he’s doing a second rate impression of Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear.
+1
I love him.
Kai is a Nikon fanboi. What do you expect?
just relax and take it as entertainment, like its meant to be.
For me digitalrev does a really convincing connection of fun and information.
And in the review of the C§ he was right, there isn’t anything revolutionary in the C3 over the old Nex-3.
Let’s wait what they say about the Nex 7 and the Alpha 77
My problem is not that he’s trying to be entertaining. My problem is he fails miserably at it by being completely unoriginal. To each his own, if some people like him then great, but every time I see a video review for a product posted I get excited and click to watch, then he pops up on the screen and he annoys me so much within 30 seconds I have to stop watching.
Ditto.
I am waiting how his review would be about the NEX-7 and a77 ?
Sorry, for some reason wordpress refused to post the embedded youtube code. It works now!
I LOVE SONYYYYYYYYYY
No, it’s
I LOVE $ONY…
haha.
did they even use peaking??? that’s the biggest help for manual focusing..
“manual focus with a Sony is dream, if you are dreaming about manual focusing” 🙂
Yes, since dreaming about video bokeh with pumping autofocus would be a nightmare 😛
I find him quite amusing, but in this video he was intentionally misleading about how hard it is to find the peaking level setting.
As early as the 5:57 point in the video the “Peaking Level” menu item is clearly visible on the screen but he continues to “look” for it. He then pretends to have finally found it at 6:21.
so you guys haven’t heard about sarcasm, no 🙂 ?
He can be funny at times. What I think is most funny is that the people in the video are well underexposed. It’s like they are exposing for the bright colored lights behind the bar. They should not be poking fun at Sony if they don’t even know how to properly expose their videos.
Yeah not the best natural lighting, but would you rather have the lights behind the bar like supernovas?
If I in the movie biz, and was casting a James Bond film, or any action film set in HK that needs a gizmo guy, I’d be hiring him.
I originally watched his first review on the C3 and found myself kinda ticked off and annoyed at that guy. I came for a serious review, but found him talking the majority of the time about things around him and not the camera.
This time around, I still find him annoying but he did have some better info.
Kai is awesome!! I love his reviews.
Wow, what a douche bag he is. He’s also pretty misleading about the ISO setting – doesn’t he know you can set it to a one-touch button?
It’s tongue in cheek guys, laugh at his accent and be on your way.
I like Kai. That was a funny review.
Dont worry he will be struck by the awesomeness that is NEX-7
The female model is smoking hot!
I just love getting to see what Hong Kong is like! (I’m deducing it is hong king since he’s asian and speaking with a british accent and the areas looks more “chinese” than I guess singapore would look.)
DigitalRev is based in HK. Yes. The scenes are all HK..
It was a pretty funny review. He was being sarcastic because he was criticized for being too harsh on another Sony product (or was it the C3?). Some of you guys really need to take a chill pill.
where he got that shirt from?
i <3 sony
lol! (i was thinking 'i <3 HongKong)
OLYMPUS!! add peaking mode in the next firmware updates.
PLEASE
i hate this guy but he is very funny 🙂
Loved watching this. Kai is hilarious!
What you need people is a bit of caviar and champagne rose and then just sit down and relax while watching the video.
He can be funny some times, but he did mention good features and other cameras too. As well he did complain about the NEX-C3 with bigger lens which doesn’t wright on a small camera but he said everything has to do with people choice.
In all the cameras there is bad and good, unfortunately I already sold my NEX-5 this week, before the NEX-5N comes out and people give me less money for the camera, now waiting for NEX-7.
For me is just another 2 or 3 months waiting. 🙂
Nx11 do not exists for these guys?
Well that his part why he made that video, or why people “complained” in fist place.
Their reviews are Canon, Nikon and 4/3rs mostly.
The original NEX review wasn’t too bad but they spend more time to cover all Olympus, Panasonic stuff.
And the A33 review isn’t too great as well.
They had the Samsung NX100 tested, but again the product doesn’t score to well in that review ;o)
That is why people commented the Show is biased or at least ignoring anything but the C&N&43s.
But none should take it too serious.
Ne is never extremely biased, more just giving a personal opinion that can oversee aspects important to other people…
It’s busy Causeway Bay in Hong Kong! 😀
How much do Sony paid him ?
Ok, so you *REALLY* didn’t get the sarcasm did you?
Anyone that doesn’t get Kai’s humor is a tool. That is a hilarious video and he’s poking fun at the serious ding dong Sony fans that always think anything said negative about a Sony camera is over the top wrong.
Loved it, loved it loved it. Read between the lines get some common sense of humor.
B
Lol, love this guy
But I have to say, I’ve got an NEX5, and the lenses are a bit of a disappointment
hello there and thank you for your info – I have definitely
picked up something new from right here. I did however expertise several technical issues using this web site,
as I experienced to reload the web site a lot of times previous to
I could get it to load correctly. I had been wondering if your web

Anyway I am adding this RSS to my email and can look out for much more of your respective fascinating content. Make sure you update this again soon.
