wat? till now still no vid spam?

Being able to afford a camera or not is just one part of the equation, and not the full measure Of course, I do agree somewhat with that statement. Sometimes, budgets do hold some buyers back from what they really want.

I've barely touched flash photography, since I use the camera mostly for street shots. I carry it with me all the time, as long as I'm out. Adding a flash unit will compound that weight considerably. Think it's rude to flash strangers, or maybe, I'm not daring enough to? I have to say though, that flash photography is definitely one thing that I must pick up in the future.

Do remember that the 5N body is also of magnesium alloy, as was the original 5. One of the main things that drew me to the 5 instead of the 3 last time, along with the grip.

On the topic of the MP, my statement was based on the image quality. Like I said earlier, I'm waiting for the actual production shots to base on that. The stirrings right now are that it's a "noisy" sensor. If the production shots are fantastic / not what they are right now, then this point can just go away and disappear quietly.

I'll toy around with the 5N's touchscreen first before I actually buy it. To see until what extent it can help with interface usability. I'm hoping I can tap the shutter speed display, change it with the jog dial, then tap the aperture display, and do the same. Gotta go and read up and see if there's any information on that. If it's just for the basic "tap to focus", that would be awful. And then it can also go away and disappear.

Yes, i think that's the only function of the touch screen.

So how sniper? Got Zen or not?

hi fellas,
two prong question i have for you.
does nex 5 work with rmt-dslr1?
if it does, can rmt-dslr1 do interval auto shot like intervalometer with nex 5?
thank you.

The remote works with the NEX-5, but unfortunately you cannot use it as an intervalometer. Googling for NEX-5 intervalometer yields a bunch of DIY hack saw versions though.

Thanks for the info, saves me the RM of buying the remote when i want it to do something it cant.
Googled away and found this:
gentLED-Auto
Anyone tried this with their nex? I'm sure it'll work just abit iffy with the manual twisting of screw to set the interval between shots.

Just looked at the manual for that gentLED and wow, setting longer intervals really is pretty iffy.

The NEX 5n should have been what the C3 is, I am sure many people who bought the C3 are disappointed. Or Sony should have release the C3 together with the 5n to let people choose between both when they want to purchase it, like the Nex 3 and 5 simultaneously.

you mean the C3 should have been what the 5N is......?
I dont feel disappointed at all with my C3, even after having seen 5N. The 5N doesnt do a thing for me.
Anyway before buying C3 we already had so many accurate rumors about Nex7 and 5N even down to the specs. But I dont know why, when I saw the Nex7 rumored picture, it was butt ugly. Now seeing the high rez pictures, I am wowed! I thought the rumored pics was so fake as well. Turns out its pretty accurate, andt now it looks so sexy...
But I do wish they - nex7, 5N, C3 were all release at the same time .....like you said, for a better decision making

despite the iffy-ness, i decided to give it a try, ordered one, will report on how it works when i get it.

I dun think C3 should be like 5N since C3 is the replacement of Nex3 not Nex5....
