Sony Alpha NEX-3N with 16-50mm

[yioties]

This is my first post in this section of the forum. My second child is being baptized on Sunday and I decided to get this Camera as a gift for the godparents.
I already spoke to the god parents and they love the idea of a small mirrorless camera. My budget is around the $400 range and this camera fits my budget to a glove.
I added a Kata camera bag and have a 16gb high speed class 10 card to add to it.

I'm a Nikon shooter and had a hard time deciding what to buy. It was either the sony or the D3100 from Nikon.
I decided on the Sony and want to know if I made the right choice!

Thanks in advance for any responses.

I just recently bought a second hand Sony NEX-5 (similar to the 3N). For a point and shoot, it takes nice photos. However, for the money spent, I feel a second hand Nikon/Cannon is a better buy. Comparing new to new though, assuming the god parents aren't aspiring professional photographers, I would say you made a good choice.
