Sony NEX-3N. Any good ?

[timor]

Still fighting with the choice of compact camera. I am looking hard at Fuji X20 for its style, capabilities and convenience, but NEX-3N in my local store has much better price and much bigger sensor. I would love to hear of any experience with this camera from you guys.

I know you didn't ask for it but you might want to look at the Nikon J1 which is on sale right now for $150.

Thanks for pointer.

They're different beasts. One is a point and shoot with hotshoe and some nice features, the other is a ILC camera with no hotshoe and some Smart features (I believe wifi etc)

Don't get me wrong, I love my LX-5 (point and shoot) but I couldn't see using it as my primary. The M4/3 is the smallest sensor I would even considered.

I am not choosing my primary. Have K20. I am looking to fill in spot for p&s, for something with more fun to shoot. Thanks for your input.

Oh then by all means, go with the more pocketable one.

I used to have a NEX 5R and really didn't fill the small bill I was looking for. I really like my LX-5 and think the X20 would be pretty nice. Have you checked out the Panasonic LX-7?
