*pancut*

Anyone had idea what ND filter to be more common use?

ND2, 4 , 8 or those adjustable ND filter??

What is the pro & con from Fix & Adjustable?

wow..... nice.... wonder how good this cam will be....
If it is worth it, i might as well put my canon 7d aside and carry this outside

Depends on what you are using for. Different ND ratings for different lighting conditions. The variable NDs are great because they normally cover from ND2 up to ND400, so no need to pack several filters. If you're getting a screw-in filter, go for the variable ones for flexibility. One thing to avoid for ND screw in filters are ND grads, where it goes from dark to light. ND Grads you should get a slot-in system like Cokin. This way, you can adjust where you want the gradation to fall off, instead of being stuck in place by the screw-in.

Taking slow shutter during daytime will need a lot of experimentation to find out how many stops you need, but once you're experienced you can calculate the exposure in your head!

Looks like Nex-5N and Nex-C3 not much difference


Sony NEX-5N specs:
16.1 MP Exmor senor
Bionz processor
max shutter speed; 1/4000
ISO range: 100-25600
1920×1080 60p/60i/24p AVCHD video recording
10 fps
10x digital zoom
3D sweep panorama
Anti dust system
Programmable buttons
Battery life: over 430 shots
Weight: around 200 g

and use what lens? Just the Zeiss? Or play pusing pusing focus ring?

Just the Zeiss is more than enough for daily use.

NEX-7 with CZ 24mm f/2 will be a great combo.... EXPENSIVE too

they have a e mount 24mm,50mm f1.8(with OSS!!)and couple other zoom lens in the pipeline,supposedly to be launch together with the nex-7
this can be my complete dslr substitute

I like this combo.... + CZ 24mm

that CZ lens will cost more than the Nex-7 body and the body alone is already expensive so total that up, and you will get a lot of non-buyers. They should just sell the Nex-7 body alone with no kit lens. If not you will end up like this again -

Nex-7 + SEL16F28 + SEL1855

I'm sure the NEX7 could make an interesting toy when coupled with the Zeiss but as the only camera, I don't think my level of zen (also a lot of people) is high enough to just live with only a 24mm lor.

There is a E-mount converter to A-mount, so you can buy A-mount and attach it to the Nex.

Not sure its work for Nex7 but it works for Nex5N~"

CZ 24mm is 36mm (35mm standard)... quite ok range. Natural eye-level range.

Hi guys. I am interested to get hybrid/mirrorless camera but Google around does not get me information that I need. Last week I went to Sony Center and tried NEX-3 and NEX-5. But I still have some questions in my mind that I need clarification:

1. Is NEX is the smallest in size compared to other hybrid/mirrorless cameras in the market?
2. Is there any underwater case for NEX?
3. How is the picture quality? I owned a Sony a550, is it comparable?
4. How is the shooting experience, is it as good as DSLR, allow you to adjust settings such as ISO, aperture and etc?
5. How about taking picture at night, is the bundled flash good enough?

Appreciate if you guys could help me clarify questions above.

1. Well, smallest? Doubt it. I daresay there is smaller ones but Nex has an Aps-C size sensor.

2. Not sure. But a quick google should be enlightening. From google, it is said that there is underwater casings, but the pricing is uncertain.

3. Nex 5 should be similar to A550 if not, slightly better.

4. Yea, you can adjust most perimeters.

5. Bundled flash is quite.. erm.. Well, insufficient~" Sony Nex 7 might come with a sony mount to fit a F43 though lol~"

And make the system even more front heavy?

Yes... but only if zen level is there. I tried running around europe with just a 30mm. Got some nice shots and missed a lot of shot.

I am looking for NEX-3. With its price tag around RM1600, NEX-3 should be the best choice for its category, is it?
