8tvt : You do not really need stabilization for a fish-eye lens. Remember the rule for stable shots? 1/focal length shutter speed or higher. A fisheye is rarely (or can I say never) more than 16mm in focal length, so achieving a 1/16 shutter speed or higher is very, very doable in almost all conditions.

Interestingly, one of the consequences of Sony's drive to make the NEX-3 and NEX-5 as small as possible has been to remove the space required for a sensor-based image stabilization system. The NEX-3 and 5 are the first Sony Alpha cameras, in fact, not to feature a variant of Sony's Super SteadyShot stabilization system. Instead stabilization is supplied by Optical SteadyShot units inside some E-mount lenses, including the 18-55mm kit lens, and the forthcoming 18-200mm superzoom.

When was the roadshow? I never notice the roadshow when im at 1U last weekend. Or I have missed out?

I really dont understand y so many ppl complaining about the menu. We're basically changing Aperture n ISO only most of the time. Aperture is damn easy by just turning the thumbwheel. ISO is just a few clicks but the Auto ISO from 200-1600 is more than enuf for most situations anyway. The only thing I really dont like about NEX is base ISO of 200. Makes a hell lot of diff when at bright places like the beach.

The Fisheye selling like hotcakes. US oso all sold out.
What other toys they got for the NEX there?

The battery is terrible. My 1st charge went to PD. After about 40 shots dropped to 50%! it really chews battery like mad.

Cheh! Lousy promotion. Who wanna see 40" TV? So small.........

ianho : Just when I thought of getting a fisheye. NEX 3 + FE adapter seems nice too. SIGH!
