My Review 

I have used this camera with the E-35 -- 5.6 / 18-55mm OSS lens, although newer NEX-3 C cameras have come out, I am glad to have purchased this one. It has been as good or near perfect as any camera I have ever owned. I enjoy the performance and the good photos as well as many of the bad ones. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to take photos in low light, which this camera does an excellent job. Full sun, low light, high on a hill or a closeup, all done with ease.
