This is a nice camcorder for the money. It has a good 20X zoom, takes nice pictures and has great features. 
It does not do to well in low light as all 1/3 sensor cams don't. If your subject has a lot of back lighting it does well

The batteries last a long time and the recording media is a lot cheaper than SxS cards. But does not record at the bit rate others do.

Nice for the money

having used the predecessor to this camera, the Sony NX5, the NX3 fixes some of the issues from that camera, and adds a few new notable features. We shoot mainly auto racing and sporting events, and having a 20X and now a 40X Clear Image Zoom were huge selling points. Finding a good quality HD camera of any kind with a 20X lens is Not easy. Sony added to the detail and vibrance of this camera by adding the (3) EXMOR 2/3 inch sensors that all of our B cameras utilize for great picture quality. Plenty of flexibility for the Novice and Pro Videographer to capture amazing images. Many people have complained about the camera Not coming with a Sony battery, but previously having (3) VX-2000 cameras that used the same NP-970 batteries, we had a few extra still in use. One other big change was adding the old style Sony power supply connection on the camera vs. the NX5's ridiculous power supply adapter in place of a battery. Now with the NX3, we can run on power and have the battery as a backup when the power goes out. All in ALL, this is a great replacement for anyone who used (3) Chip cameras in the past.
Negatives on this camera so far:
-Lack of Internal Flash memory would have been another great addition.
-Inability to Dim the onboard LCD Light (which is quite bright)
Lack of supplied onboard Shotgun Microphone, Sony got cheap here to save money.

Great purchase for the Novice to Professional Shooter.
