Yes!! i think so

NEX3 is not a DSLR because it doesn't have a mirror inside but you do get DSLR quality due to the APS-C sized sensor, commonly found in DSLRs

Mind you, NEX3's control sucks big time.There are hardly any buttons for dedicated control like aperture,shutter speed and ISO and the menu system isn't any of DSLR standards.This EVIL camera is targetted to those upgrading from a PnS camera who wants better picture quality but retaining the usual menu system/simple button layout.Thus, IMO those cybershot shooters wouldn't find it that hard but for manual PnS users like me, it's a definite NO NO

In conclusion:

Get it if
1)You want DSLR image quality and ISO performance
2)You want a compact sized camera which somewhat fits into your pockets(16mm pancake lens)
3)You want the similar menu system as those PnS cameras,button layout somewhat similar without those confusing dedicated buttons
