Sony Alpha NEX-F3

Small and light weight camera means its a joy to take out for the day. Sony 16MP APS-C sensor offers excellent Image Quality even with kit lens. The build quality is feel great too. The battery life is really great for all day use, very good to traveling with it. Problems: The menu access is really slow down our performance.

Picture - 4 stars (I'm comparing images I shot on this to images shot with my Canon 5dII) Design - 4 stars (fits in hand well, build of lens is solid but body feels a bit too plastic in hand) User interface - 3 stars (dumbed down icons and layout but still hard to get to vital items like Manual focus) Portability - 2.5 stars (only comes with large zoom lens) Overall the best buy for an APS-C camera right now.
