My Sony A6300 Review >>
Sony A5000
The Sony A5000 is very similar to the A5100 in body design, but it doesn't have the same power. The A5000 has the older sensor that doesn't have the super fast Hybrid AF like the A5100 and A6000. It only has contrast AF which isn't as fast or accurate as the new hybrid AF. The 20mp sensor however has excellent image quality and for the price it's hard to beat the A5000. The A5000 also comes standard with the 16-50mm zoom kit lens.

Sony A3000
The Sony A3000 mirrorless camera offers more of a traditional DSLR body design, which is great for ergonomics! This provides a more comfortable experience when using larger e-mount lenses and/or holding the camera for long periods of time. A great option that is also extremely affordable!

Sony Nex-7
Nex-7 – Body Only
the
Sony Nex-7
is the most powerful mirrorless camera on the market!! I own one, but unfortunately broke it when I fell on the ice.
Check it out:
Naked Nex-7 >>
if you want to see what the inside looks like!
The Nex-7 offers a very high resolution APS-C sized sensor packing 24mp! The huge sensor also offers excellent depth of field characteristics which make the camera really ideal for portraits and dramatic video effects. The build quality of the Nex-7 is stepped up over other Sony Nex models by offering a metal skin and a DSLR-style grip. The biggest advantage of the Nex-7 over other Nex models is the built-in accessory shoe, which makes it easier to use off-camera flash and more!!

Sony Nex-6
Sony Nex-6 – Body Only
the
Nex-6
is a slightly refined and cheaper version of the Sony Nex-7. It has a built-in viewfinder which is a must for daylight shooting, and a killer swivel screen. It doesn't rotate 180 degrees like the Nex-5r, but unlike the Nex-5r it faces downward for easy overhead shooting.
The Nex-6 features a new 16mp sensor with in phase detection AF sensors. This enhances the native contrast autofocus by speeding things up considerably. It's great for video and regular photography!! The Sony Nex-6 also has a standard hot shoe, which will make it easy to use with studio lights, regular flashes or other hot shoe mountable devices!
My opinion on the Sony Nex-6 >>
Main Features:
Pocket camera with pro-grade performance
16MP APS-C sensor with up to 10fps shooting and Full HD video
Fast hybrid autofocus includes phase detection for DSLR-like focusing
Bright XGA OLED viewfinder for 100% coverage

The Sony Nex-5R is very similar to the Sony Ne x-5T, except it has the same updated 16mp sensor as the Sony Nex-6. The Nex-5R also features a special 180 degree flip-up touchscreen. This is perfect for taking self-portraits or video recordings where viewing the screen is essential. Reviewers like me will find this incredibly helpful!! The Sony Nex-F3 also has this 180 degree flip screen and I used it a lot while I had the camera in the lab. The Nex-5R does not have a built-in viewfinder like the Nex-6, except for the
OLED viewfinder accessory
which is ideal if you need it.

Sony Nex-5n
The Sony Nex-5n is technically the previous generation 5-series model, but it still has the huge APS-C sized sensor and almost all the other features of the newer models. It continues to sell like wildfire on Amazon and tops the charts of
Best Selling Compact Cameras
. The Sony Nex-5n features the previous generation 16MP sensor which offers excellent image quality and noise control. It also has a touchscreen which some people really like for flexible focus and menu access. The Nex-5n does not have a built-in viewfinder, but it does support the OLED accessory viewfinder.

Sony Nex-F3
The Sony Nex-F3 is currently the introductory model of the Nex family. It has a 180 degree swivel screen which is again ideal for reviewers and self-photographs etc. The 3-inch LCD screen is not a touch screen like the Nex-5R and Nex-5N cameras. It has pretty much all the same features as the Nex-5n for the photography side. On the video side, the Nex-F3 offers 720p HD video while the Nex-5n offers Full 1080P. Be sure to check out my hands-on review of the Nex-F3 using a variety of lenses!

Sony Nex-C3
Sony Nex-C3
The Nex-C3 is the previous generation Nex 3-series camera, but it's still a bargain if you can find one!! I did a thorough review of the Nex-C3 and loved it!!
The Sony Alpha NEX-C3 camera is a very capable camera. Adjust the tilting 3.0 LCD screen to review your shots or use it to frame your next shot with the camera low to the ground or high above your head at a concert. Tons of modes including Sweep Panorama in 2D and 3D, Auto HDR, Handheld Twilight and Anti Motion Blur. Killer 720/30p HD to play and share later.
