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) video sample : This post has been edited by wiNd: Sep 18 2011, 04:18 PM |

QUOTE(jimlim007 @ Sep 18 2011, 09:45 PM) C.Garrard: Sony is aware that we need pancakes for the NEX system. good news ![]() 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). |

QUOTE(teikwing @ Sep 21 2011, 12:19 PM) just registered the 5N's warranty and the default is a year but do give Sony a call to get it extended to 18 months. same here, from DSLR to EVIL will be attending Oktoberfest this weekend and gonna utilise the 5N to the max. coming from a old A300, the controls on the 5N are pretty hard to get used to, esp without the control dial for shooting modes and dedicated ISO buttons with now everything on the touchscreen. after afew days of shooting, you will be familiar with the buttons/menus... |

there's a WIND NOISE REDUCTION option, but not sure how good is it.
anyway, if some1 is serious about video shooting, they should invest in an external microphone (with better, crisp and clear audio capture) This post has been edited by wiNd: Sep 22 2011, 04:29 PM |

QUOTE(axii @ Sep 22 2011, 05:32 PM) The clicking noise will only be apparent in a calm and quiet area, amplified by the processors dynamic boost. In noisy areas (everywhere else), you won't be able to hear it, even if you do, very low. there will be "clicking noise" if u shake it, doesnt matter quiet or noisy environmentWind, you think you can go to a noisy area and give the cam a vigorous shake while recording? same for other cameras, like 550D and GF3 (may be lens, etc) This post has been edited by wiNd: Sep 22 2011, 05:47 PM |

some positive news...but its from Sony US
Performance Improvement for Video Capture Posted: 9/23/2011 Thank you for your support of Sony products. We have received reports of a "clicking" sound which may be heard in the audio playback of movies recorded by the NEX-5N camera. This phenomenon occurs if the camera undergoes sudden motion while recording; motion generally inconsistent with smooth video recording. The video is unaffected by this sound. In accordance with Sony's policy of continuous product improvement, an adjustment has been developed to reduce the clicking sound resulting from sudden motion during movie recording. Sony will offer this performance improvement to NEX-5N end users during the period of its limited warranty accompanying the product. Please call 888-868-7392 to arrange for this improvement. |

QUOTE(idoblu @ Sep 24 2011, 04:46 PM) What about Sony Malaysia? What will they do? i have submitted my case to them and will see how they going to address this Sending it back is a b****. There is no body cap, so are you expected to send in together with a lens attached? The way they answered sounds like they won't be fixing their current stock or even whether they will put this fix to their assembly line. My bet is that 90 percent won't send it back, at least that's what they are hoping. |
