A3000 hits the spot I was looking for
As long as you remember what the A3000 is (and is not) you will be very happy. I like the point and shoot ease. I am not very good at photography so I want technology to do it for me. At the same time, I like the feel of a full size camera, changing lenses, etc. The camera is incredibly fast. The salmon are running in Seattle so I went to a local creek. I was able to consistently catch fish jumping. That is pretty fast for the camera to figure out the settings and snap the shot. The picture ...

EXCEPTIONAL VALUE!
I have had my A3000 for a few weeks now and have used it daily. I am extremely impressed with the jpegs I get right out of the camera, usually needing little pp. The viewfinder is a bit low resolution, but very usable. The live view screen is bright and sharp. Focus is quick and accurate. With the 30mm/3.5 macro lens the focus is tack sharp with excellent bokeh. FOR THE MONEY, I do not know of any camera that can hold a light to the little A3000. Highly recommend.
SONY A3000 DIGITAL CAMERA W/18-55mm LENS
If all point-and-shoot cameras were as good as the SONY A3000 DIGITAL CAMERA W/18-55mm LENS, they might stop calling them point-and-shoot cameras. After all, the Sony A3000 Digital Camera is capable of so much more:
Product Highlights
- Stunning image quality can be found on a consistent basis here, thanks to the Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor with its 20.1 million effective resolution. If that sounds like a lot, it’s because it is.
- Features like Clear Image Zoom, Auto Object Framing, and Picture Effect add to your editorial capabilities in every aspect of the Sony A3000 DIG Camera.
- The Tru-Finder electronic viewfinder allows you to easily and accurate frame your pictures before you take them.
In short, what you’ll get out of this camera is much more than point-and-shoot: you’ll get an introduction into the world of high-quality photography.
Learn about the SONY A3000 DIGITAL CAMERA W/18-55mm LENS
Some cameras require a lot of thought, a lot of effort, and a lot of knowledge to get stunning, professional-looking shots. The SONY A3000 DIGITAL CAMERA W/18-55mm LENS is from a different breed. Not only does it work well with amateurs who simply want to take amazing photograph after amazing photograph, but it allows you to unlock your creative potential with a stunning list of features and top-of-the-line technical qualities that place it a cut above many of the all-in-one cameras you’ll find here at Adorama. If you you’re thinking about buying a camera to start pursuing photography as a real hobby, you might not find a better purchase.
- What goes into making a camera capable of producing these kinds of professional-quality photos? It starts with a high quality sensor. With some thirteen times the area of a typical “point and shoot” camera, the APS-C sensor on this Sony A3000 DIGITAL Camera puts it above the competition, allowing you to take high-contrast, high-clarity shots with nary a single thought except to frame and light your image properly. That gives you the flexibility to handle all sorts of live events with consistency in a more professional (or even social media) capacity.
- Lightweight enough to carry with you the entire night, the Sony A3000 DIGITAL Camera has the added advantage of being more mobile than many other DSLR-style photography cameras. Not only does the lightweight design allow you to easily tote it with you on a number of events, but you’ll find it easy to set up and frame shots exactly the way you want—even selfie-style portraits won’t be a problem.
- Capturing live events doesn’t have to be difficult even with a point-and-shoot style camera. In fact, you can capture amazing 20 megapixel images at up to 3.5 frames per second, continually shooting exactly what you want to capture and selecting the best-quality photo from each selection. This gives you editorial power over your own photographic work and puts you in the “director’s chair,” so to speak.
- Versatility won’t be a concern—especially since this Sony A3000 DIG Camera is compatible with the wide selection of E-mount lenses at Sony. These small, light lenses can easily be interchanged to add a professional flair to each photo. The more you can control over the quality of your own shots, the faster you’ll be on your way to achieving professional consistency, even if you’re working in an amateur capacity.
- And, seriously, did we mention the image quality? It warrants a second mention, because the Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor ISO 16000 may even surprise the battle-hardened photography professionals who are anxious to see what a point-and-shoot camera of this quality can produce. Heck, maybe we at Adorama shouldn’t even be calling it point-and-shoot, because it’s much, much more.
Acquire your own SONY A3000 DIG CAMERA W/18-55mm LENS if you want a fast introduction to the world of taking spectacular shots consistency. Whether you’re an established enthusiast or someone who simply wants to take better pictures, this is the camera for you.
