I don’t know how much longer this deal will last but the Sony NEX 3 is $289 on  Amazon  right now!  I recommend this camera for anyone wanting to downsize their DSLR or for those who want to get into the DSLR market but don’t like the heft of a DSLR.  Actually, at this price, I recommend this camera for anyone wanting to buy a new camera.  This all the camera you’ll ever need and more.  I’ve got the Sony NEX 6 and I’m loving it.  It rivals my Canon 60d in low light situations and because it’s not as BIG as my DSLR with it’s battery grip I take it with me wherever I go.  The lens is interchangeable and every time you get a new lens it’s like getting a new camera.  What’s really cool about these NEX cameras is that the flash articulates so much that you can aim it up to the ceiling and make it a bounce flash. Engadget has a great review of it here.
