"By far the most impressive entry-level Sony ILC (interchangeable lens camera) we've seen...It's a fantastically capable camera, and it looks great, too."

Large Sensor for Gorgeous Images

The NEX-3N features a large 16.1-Megapixel Exmor HD APS-C sensor – the same sensor format typically found in full-size DSLR cameras. Combined with premium Sony CMOS technology, the NEX-3N achieves high resolution with no penalty in low-light sensitivity or sensor noise. You'll achieve lavishly detailed photos that make lovely enlargements, not to mention Full HD video of incredible richness and clarity.

Smooth zoom.

The easily-accessible zoom lever on the body of the camera allows effortless one-handed operation and smooth zooming – even when shooting self-portraits – bringing compact camera convenience to the realm of interchangeable-lens models.

Self-Portraits Made Easy

Thanks to the NEX-3N's tiltable LCD screen, snapping self-portraits has never been easier – or more successful. Say goodbye to all those throwaways – since the LCD screen flips up a whole 180 degrees, you can make sure you're perfectly positioned in the frame before pressing the shutter. Include your friends for a group shot, experiment with interesting angles, or star in your own video clip.

Fantastic Full HD video.

Record stunning, high-quality movies at Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution in either 60i or 24p frames per second (records in 29-minute segments). Choose the AVCHD™ codec for exquisite Blu-ray Disc™ picture quality, or record in the PC-friendly MP4 format which lets you compress files for easy upload to sites like Facebook® and YouTube™.

Brighten Up

The NEX-3N offers the convenience of a built-in flash right at your fingertips. Perfect when an extra burst of light is needed to nail the shot, the powerful pop-up flash illuminates the frame so no detail is left in the dark. Combined with high ISO sensitivity, you'll be able to shoot in nearly any setting.
