and in Nex-C3 and Nex-5 no have this issue.

24-70 with crop sensor equivalent fov is actually my favourite focal length(36-105),it was my dream lens during my canon 7D ownership period,i don like wide angle,i mostly shot scene portrait and traditional portrait,but thats just me,and i guess sony would make something like 17-55 f2.8 instead,that would be awesome too

anyway,if u know me,i came from DSLR background and i'm the minority who go into mirrorless mainly for the accuracy and recent improvement in speed of CDAF,not entirely because of the reduce size

i don't like big body but don't mind big lens,big body don't necessary attribute to better image quality,but big lens usually do,after all image quality is the biggest reason ppl opting for any large sensor interchangeable lens camera,be it DSLR or m4/3,making a good camera body with great chunky sensor but spoil it with crappy girly pancake apple lens sounds like iphone marketing to me;making it a lifestyle product,not a photography tools

anyway if form is the major factor for you,why not getting a high end prosumer compact,it would be so much smaller,simpler,cheaper,cover even more focal length

yaaaahh .. me also very tempting with 2999 packages ... BUT overheard that with NEX 7 cmoing on the way .. !!!

$$$ will drop about 400 for nex 5ND by then .... !!!!


conclusion :: I will WAIT ... !!!! ( for the nex 5N to drop $$$ )

zircon, not yet pre order yet...wait for hands-on test...then buy for my other half

Dont need wait the test. Just order, the camera is damn good for sure, very good to carry for honeymoon

white NEX-5N is already available at selected Sony Centres!

your wish is granted, SONY released the new lens, go check it out
Sony Lens: Zooms - Sony 16-50mm f/2.8 DT SSM SAL1650

NEX is design as compact in mind, hence the small body. And have u put any big lens like ur 24-70 on NEX?
I tried some other lens, smaller than 24-70, and can feel that the NEX is inbalance due to the lens is big and long compare to the NEX small body.

16-50 is A mount lens. NEX uses E mount

there is a converter, i saw along with the release of NEX-7...

that's the LA-EA1 lens converter.

there's a new LA-EA2 converter which allows full time phase detection AF with alpha lenses and other screw driven a-mount lenses....

that A lens must be SAM / SSM only?

With LA-E2, I think all sony and minolta lens can use PDAF.

LA EA1 only AF with SAM/SSM lens, LA EA2 AF with ALL A mount lens

EA1 wtih SSM then do i get full time PDAF?

Mirrorless cameras are for people who want an interchangeable body but small in size, so they can pair it with their puny small lenses, not necessarily pancakes, there are many more small lenses that you don't know.
Big chunk of glass doesnt mean good image quality, if you have ever seen those M39 rangefinder lenses, those lenses are puny small, smaller than you think,
but the performance is much better than those big big big big pro zoom lenses

this is interesting =,

the LA EA2 cost around how much?
