Full Review Sony NEX C3

A compact system camera with more than 16 million pixels is not in itself of overwhelming significance, after all Panasonic has achieved this using a smaller Micro Four Thirds size sensor. Instead, it is the technology behind the sensor that will be of great interest to many photographers. That is because the NEX-C3's sensor is a tweaked version of the one used in the Sony Alpha 55, which means it also shares much of the same technology as the base Sony sensor found in the Nikon D7000 and the Pentax K-5. As we explored in our feature on the Alpha 55, D300 and K-5 and our article on ISO sensitivity in AP 30 April, this 16.2-million-pixel sensor has excellent noise control and a good dynamic range. Using it in a compact system camera shows how seriously Sony is about this area of the market, and if the sensor performs as it does in the other cameras, the NEX-C3 could offer some serious competition to the Samsung NX100 and Panasonic DMC Lumix DMC-GF2. However, the original NEX cameras don't handle particularly well if you make regular adjustments to the shooting settings. And while this was partially rectified with the introduction of new firmware for both cameras, if the NEX-C3 wants to be taken seriously by enthusiast photographers it needs to handle better than the two predecessor NEX cameras.

Nikon D300 User's Guide Book Download

This Nikon D300 User's Guide Book will make you an expert and teach you every possible nuance of using the Nikon D300. It includes lots of tips, tricks, secrets and the settings I prefer to use. It does not include my examples, photographs and general information – for this, you will have to visit specific pages on my web site. Links to those pages are provided throughout this Guide.

This Guide Book alone will not help you take great pictures To get great photos you will still need to get yourself to the right place at the right time and point the camera in the right direction, which is a lot harder than mastering the D300. Right out of the box at its default settings, the D300 does a great job.

Making a great photo involves knowing what makes a great photo, knowing how to get great exposure, knowing when to use the D300's adjustments, knowing how to get great color, locations, timing, patience and a whole lot more.
