Interest in getting Sony DSC-V3

Rui · 30th May 2005

Hihi,

I'm quite interested in getting Sony V3 and Dpreview gave very good ratings on it. However, i will really appreciate if you guys can offer some opinions on this camera esp the hands on experience you have with it.

And if possible, post some sample shots taken using the V3.

Thanks in advance!!

Hi,

Yes, I would like to know too. Reading alot of mixed reviews on the web. Good fast camera, focusing and snapping. But has some inherent design problems like the flash, dials and so on.

I guess the best is to go down to the shops and try. If really kiasu, bring a laptop and check the pictures.

Thanks for the advice KingPrawn!

Actually, i ended buying an F828 today though i had V3 in mind initially. (Very much thanks to the recent price drop that Sony introduced.)

Of course that wasn't the only consideration. More important was that i already have a ultra compact camera, Pentax Optio S for the last 1year plus and so decided to have a go at the prosumer cameras.

Still thanks again KingPrawn.

Hihi Bianzi,

since you started a new thread on V3, i'll close the thread and we can continue our earlier discussions through PM or the new thread you made.
