Thx for the reply bro. Yes I like the portability of Nex5. I m used to PnS but found the functions very limited. Yet I m not ready to carry a lot of equipments with me during overseas holiday. Also I m not used to DSLR yet. So by the time I m Done with the settings and ready to take pic my gf would be half asleep already. Hehe.
NEX5 is still new with limited gears but there should be more coming in the near future right?
Any bros got lubang to get NEX5 cheap cheap?
Also should I get the pancake first or 1855 or both. Please advise a noob to photography. Thanks hehe.
Added on July 18, 2010, 12:53 pmbro Ian. What's new in the firmware? Support for 3D panorama? Any improvement on the menu side? Hehe.
ur condition is similar as i am
nex is definitely an affordable upgrade for PnS, with good image quality
to me i am not a photo geek, so limited gears is not my concern... as i don plan to buy many gears also
nex Iauto mode is great, no nid manual setting also can get good pic (of course manual setting is a great option too)
pancake for landscape, good for scenery( if use pancake to shoot ppl, then u nid to very very close to her ==)
1855 for all purpose
btw, i always see taiwan nex user say that 16mm pancake is lousier a lot than 1855, donnoe true or not... hv to ask uncle Ianho, he got the both
firmware update is for : faster start up, and most importantly lower Battery consumption
