Ma new toy

Finally, I get to rub off one of my wishlist. Guess what? If u read my blog previously I have mentioned something that I would want after I got my first salary but unfortunately I wasn't able to get it when I got my salary as it wasn't enough. That's why it has been delayed till now and I've done a lot of research about it before I decide to get it. Know what is it by now? It is getting my own camera!

You can skip this part if you want. I'm just telling how I finally decide on a camera. I was first aiming on Casio ZR1000 but after researching and asking around, I made the decision of not getting it because it's just a compact camera and image quality doesn't seem to have a quality image but only good for self shooting as I wanted a camera with quality image which can bring around. Adding to it, the camera is only available through online, there are no shop here selling ready stock for it and I could not test the functions so that's why I decided to give up on it. Then I saw Canon 100D (the smallest DSLR), looked at the price and think I should wait for it to drop as I wasn't aiming for camera of more than 2k for that moment. Then, I came to know about Sony Nex 3N through advertisement in fb. I can say this is what I want! Compact size with quality image and affordable price too! But then I came to know Sony Nex 5R which one of my friend has bought it. I tried it and quite like it. It was just like 3N but with wifi and touch screen. I used to think wifi and touch screen wasn't a big deal but after I used it, I felt it was quite convenient and more easier to think photo so decided to get it. I went around to few Sony shop and asked about the price. It was 2399 with one lens. But recently they have raya sales and it was 1999 in one of the Sony shop and I felt that it was time for me to get it. Then the sad news came. They have no more stock for it and won't be getting new stock of it. The sales promoter then recommended me to get the one with 2 lens which cost 2699 after discount. I didn't want to get 2 lens as I think I wont use much of the zoom lens which was only to shoot far distance things. So, I went off and went to other Sony shop to see whether they have stock. In the end, only those selling 2199 have stock and my last hope was the other branch of that same Sony shop that sell at 1999 have stock. So, today I went with a little hope but get to know they will not get stock for that camera anymore as the model was a bit older then 3N. So, in the end I have decided to get 3N as it was cheaper and have the same function just without wifi and touch screen.


So, present to u my new toy Sony Nex 3N!!

All the photos of this camera were taken by my Sony Xperia phone. I got it for RM1499 as it was given RM300 for this Raya Sales and original price of it was RM1799. Thinking of it Casio ZR1000 was RM1399 and I got this just for RM1499, it was just RM100 difference where this got interchangeable lens while ZR1000 doesn't have and luckily I didn't get ZR1000 last time.

One of the best reason that I chose this over Canon 100D was because Sony Nex 3N can tilt it LCD lens 180 degree so we girls can do self shoot easily. Heeee~ xD   
Besides that, it has a built-in flash. My first time seeing flash like this. A bit cute tho..haha..
The back side view of it.
 Here's the view from top. We have the on off switch, preview photo button, shutter button, etc. There's the record video button with the red dot. It can record HD videos.
I felt so happy for getting this camera! Although it does not have wifi or touch screen, I think it fits all my needs and I'm not regret getting it. One of the cons that I find is sometimes you might not be able to see the LCD screen perfectly when you are under the hot sun but that's normal since it's a LCD screen just like our smartphones. 

So to conclude, I would recommend this Sony Nex 3N to my friends. It really light and compact and easy to bring around. You can shoot like a pro just with this camera. Trust me, you'll love it.

I will be updating my photos taken by this camera soon. So stay tune~
