The Sony Memory Stick Pro-HG Duo HX is actually pretty fast!

http://www.dpreview.com/news/1005/10051303...tickhx30mbs.asp

Read 30MB/s, write 15MB/s.

A Class 10 SD card promises a write speed of 10MB/s (with the read speeds usually being the x multiplier... but often not too impressively 150x which is 22.5MB/s read only.) And this is sold as the advanced class SD card.

By comparison, a consumer CF card is already doing 133x in 2007 like it was nothing.

That said, I have gotten a Sandisk Extreme Pro UHS-1 SDHC card - this promises 45MB/s read and write which is 300x. Still slow compared to the CF cards. This card is not for my NEX-5 as my MSPD HX will do 5 bursts of 7 FPS just fine, and I don't use it for any more than that. This card is for the A77.

thx for great info

just bought NEX5 with 1855 lens today for rm1900 at desa home theatre lowyat plaza. Survey Nex5N price at sony centre, 2999 for twin lens kit. Other shop still didnt have stock for nex5N

Possible to add macro lens to nex-5k?

Any recommendation and price range?

Thanks!!!

Wait next month the 30mm f3.5 macro shud arrive here.

Read on dpreview's forum that NEX-5 need to set Exposure Compensation to -0.3 ...is it true ?

Just toying with the snapsort.com comparison.
Why on earth an early version of Nex 5 is better than the newer 5n?
Really pening.

some random PnS NEX5N shots

-quality FINE, straight JPEG output
-iAuto mode and some Aperture Priority mode
-no post processing/editing (just resize to 800x532 @ Photoshop, save as Very High JPEG)






















my feedback :
-very light camera and suitable for traveling
-shooting is fun and very easy with this camera (aka Point and Shoot and Tilting LCD)
-no hassles in low light environment (with iAuto mode or Handheld Twilight Mode / Good Lowlight ISO performance)
-viewing the LCD under direct sunlight is challenging
-touch screen focus is always helpful
-video recording is easy (and clicking noise? not an issue in standard ambient/atmospheric environment unless u wanna shake/dance with ur cam)

Please read carefully each line of comparison.
Some of the features is UNKNOWN when they do the comparison, so it is 0 point for that!!
If u read feature by feature sure 5N better!!!!

WiND: the night shot look very clean! like itttt

HAHA i like the no.5 - return the NEX5N right now.

ask around puchong & mv area (beside sony), no stock yet on NEX5N.

C.Garrard: Sony is aware that we need pancakes for the NEX system.



The latest Sony ENX lens roadmap shows the three upcoming new lenses, the G standard zoom, the die angle zoom and mid telephoto lens. Those are lenses that will appeal consumers more than enthusiast or professionists. But I am still hoping Sony will also announce some fast lens and panckes as soon as possible. Carl Garrard has a small talk with Sony and told them: “I let Sony know there is a big desire for smaller lenses for the NEX system, and in the end of that conversation I came to the conclusion that it’s not like they aren’t aware of this desire/need. I was told that their lens engineers are at full throttle trying to keep up with designing lenses for both the Alpha and NEX systems. “That’s fine” I said, “But the consumer wants smaller lenses now- maybe Sony ought to think about prioritizing that demand” I added.” (Source: Dpreview forum).

good news lets hope for more pancake lenses
