Sony Alpha NEX3 ISO Performance

While us Malaysian is still eagerly awaiting the availability of our Pre-booked NEX3 and NEX5, some of the fortunately users around the world is already producing stunning images from this camera. I personally saw some foreigners using the NEX5 at Japan GT Malaysia round to take photos at the paddocks.



So to those of you who would wonders what kinda capability this little wonders have, here is a sample photos i took from the Sony NEX3 and NEX5 pre-launch media/pro-photographers evaluation session organised by Sony Malaysia at their HQ in Mid Valley on May 2010. All photographs in this article were taken with either NEX3 or NEX5 camera.

The first thing i noticed about the NEX3 i been testing is how clean the iso is for a unit as small as this. So much so that i decided to do few similar shots under Aperture mode in different ISO so to show how suerb is this little wonder in its noise handling. All photos are not editing, only resize.
