19 picture`s A3000 & ZEISS16-70 F4

a week ago i had the chance to try this combination for two day`s.
normal i photograph with the A77 & A99 .
but i can say now........i want one , and hope that sony read this to :):)

the camera has no movable screen , and the EVF is 200.000 dots
the camera feels very well , good in your hand and weight not much
have a pretty good AF
i photograph in RAW and in JPEG , but the latest version of LIGHTROOM 5 cannot see the RAW-files , so i use the JPEG`S
SONY place in this camera the same noise-reduction as in the A99 , it`s very good , and you keep a lot of detail.

the 16-70 is a superb lens ,its build very well , not to big and heavy , and with the A3000 or a NEXcamera a must-have-combination.

the picture`s that i take is NOT a LAB-TEST , but only the result from two day`s playing with it.

1 ISO400 F4 1/500



2 ISO400 F5 1/160



3 ISO400 F4 1/640



4 IS A CROP OF 3



5 ISO100 F4 1/100


6 ISO400 F5 1/1250



7 ISO100 F4 1/320



8 ISO100 F4 1/80



9 ISO100 F6.3 1/125



10 ISO200 F4 1/400



11 IS A CROP OF 10



12 ISO200 F5.6 1/160



13 IS A CROP OF 12



14 ISO800 F4 1/1250


15 ISO800 F4 1/200


the next picture`s are taken with a model and with a flash on a trypod

16 ISO100 F4 1/200



17 the same picture as 16 but in HIGH-KEY



18 ISO100 F4 1/200



19 same picture as 18 but little crop


ALL SPECS are in the picture`s

conlusion for me , A3000 is a very nice camera for his price (350 euro)
ofcourse it has also his negatives , but for this price you get a very nice camera with a very very good sensor , and for me personal is that the most important.

ZEIS 16-70 F4 OSS , not to big , not to small very good build , perfect combination at the A3000 and all NEX-camera`s , very good with the lens wide open (F4) , only negative is the price (1000 euro)but it is a "must have lens"

thanks for looking , and if you have questions (i dont now everything) please ask and i shall try to answer them

Thanks, Gustav. A "must have" for me indeed, the Zeiss is...

A breathtaking amount of detail and genuine palpability -- the cat and model shots are three dimensional.

I am getting lens lust again.

Hi Gustav, are you sure about the resolution of the EVF?

Dpreview is stating 201,600 dots EVF...(as with the HX300)
Also, looking from the rear of the A3000, the EVF has the same small viewfinder hole as the HX300...which also explains the absence of the IR detector on the viewfinder...
