I tried the A3000 in a store, and it had an awful EVF--worse than my ancient PowerShot. Some sort of LCD. I don't remember if it was field sequential like the A57. It feels much cheaper than the A58.

It’s not my opinion, but David Kilpatrick did an extensive review of the A3000 here. This kept me away from the camera, even when it was only £100 or so, but he saw a lot of merits despite the big failings. I have a QX1 and the sensor is a big improvement on the NEX-7.
I think the A3000 is an interesting curio, and it would be fun to try one out if it’s not too pricey - sub-£100? (I assume the A3500 is near identical.) |

Yes, sub-£100. Thanks for the link - it's a really interesting review and more than confirms the suspicions I had about it - an unusual combination of good and poor features. We'll have to see how it is in use.
Hmm, thinking about it, it could be the ideal old guy's camera: - simple operation and few buttons, to avoid taxing fading memory cells; - big grip easy for arthritic fingers to hold; - light body for those weakening arm muscles; - low res EVF and LCD to suit failing eyesight; - accurate AF (see above); - very good sensor (for its time) to allow PP on a big bright screen at home. - and of course plenty of cheap OSS lenses for the growing hand tremor. ![]() ![]() ![]() Edited by Miranda F - 19 February 2022 at 10:48 |

I was wondering why you didn't just buy a used A6000, but I noticed that the prices of those have an upward trend and the A3000 is less then half price.
