First Blood? I don’t know why i’m getting into this.
Seriously, you should go see a doctor right now.
a3000 with the kit 18-55 was selling for $300 for ages, right from the beginning. Nothing new here.

226€ in europe. but sub pair camera quality as expected but for that price it’s indeed amazing, specially when included a lens. kudos to sony
Well, at that price its still MUCH better than any point and shoot at the same price.
well comparing to samsung nx deals it’s not that good. nx 2000 with kit lens goes for 198€ and it has wifi and other better things.
Samsung NX is a system camera. Not a point and shoot.
o’really sherlock?
haha yeah, and it totally wasn’t obvious to anyone that there are better deals in system cameras than the A3000. You started the saying-the-obvious game so please stick to the rules 😉
I should edit my comment. A3000 is shit. you can get a nex-3 for the same price.
nex-3 is better and same price.
The A3000 is a decent buy for the money but the LCD is horrendously poor at showing detail and the viewfinder is even worse and always has a blurry feel compared to the viewfinder of the A mount and FE models. Still it can produce images that are just fine and I guess you can get used to it or be blissfully ignorant of what your stuck with.
I like the A3000/3500 form factors but would be nice with A7000 or something higher end model in this form factor. With weather seals and simmilar flippable screen to A77/A99.
I guess you can say the A7 series fills that high end “DSLR” style need. Personally I was interested in seeing where the A3000 would lead since I like the idea of having a DSLR type camera to complement my discreet 5n and act as the workhorse body.
I am really hoping Sony has the intention to bring out an APSC version of the A7. Incorporate the A6000 AF and everything else is fine with me. That would make a fantastic top model APSC model! Then again, like you Andy, I do really like the look of the A3000 too. But maybe it’s just because I’m American and have a bias towards big, “Professional-looking” DSLR bodies lol.
If they could at least give A3000 successor an EVF akin to A35 along with Alpha UI controls then it would be a great backup camera for me
Sony should have a dedicated camera division for their sensors. It is about time. They should not be making “cameras” in their mobile division, churning out models like A3000, A7 and the like with paper thin plastics.
E 50mm f1.8 price dropped in many countries. Do you think a replacement is on its way?
