You can actually try it out now with the NEX-7, it's the same placement.

agree with william... based on the online spec, the measurement is almost same with nex 7...

honestly speaking, i want to get the 24F18 so much... but when i think of the price can get me a Fuji X100 that come with a different experience and still got change for the price, i stop already ><

dont know why... maybe i still dunno how to appreciate the art of Carl Zeiss

When you have seen the sharpness and color of what a Zeiss can offer in comparison to others, you'll understand.

I know because I've been in those shoes before.. I used to ask "What for spend so much on a CZ when other lenses will give you the same image?" I still held my believes through many TTs and outings with friends with CZ - as I believe it's the peer pressure which could be causing me like the lens.

It's not until I itchy butt walked into a Sony store in Times Square to just have a look around and once again, itchy butt asked the sales person to let me test a 24-70Z (perfect definition of SELF POISONING).. and bam! I felt it. I had with me my old Sigma 24-70. There's no coming close. Long story short, I have the 24-70Z now.

i like the word SELF POISONING thumbup.gif reading review on the internet not really poisoning...
the main thing i consider is will the 35F18 come any closer to the 24F18Z...

24f18z = rm3500 (street price at least) = 35f18 + 1018f4 / Fuji X100 with balance rm500 / a obsolete Mac Mini + a obsolete New iPad

my pocket is tight, so many things come into my mind hmm.gif

ai... the wifi feature is very disappointing to me...
i tot can run via my handphone's hotspot/router support.. but can't! can only use other wifi around me for it to work... what if i need to transfer photo in places outside wifi area? using my one x's hotspot won't do! what if i need to use the remote control feature outside wifi areas? sigh...

at least auto focus is much much faster than my previous NEX5

i think it should run on your phone hotspot... maybe it is something to tweak with the setting...
as for remote control features with your phone, i not sure it need to work as "camera-router-phone" or "camera-phone"... if "c-r-p" then really besar kepala when outdoor sweat.gif

i also need to test it out once i collected my 6, anyhow... i assumed it can be connected to normal router modem right ???? sad.gif

wait for next firmware update?

No one wanna share some unboxing picture/video?  laugh.gif
btw how long is the warranty for sony camera? 1 year?
If i am not mistaken i've seen video on youtube showing it can work as "camera-phone"  hmm.gif
*
if camera-phone then is logically lor... but i know, you must install PlayMobile App in your phone... then open the app only can connect it with the nex, else it wont work when u try to connect it manually... (i read somewhere last time)

sony always offer 1yr warranty (non-promotion period), register online 15mths... wan more? extend with only SONY...

a lesson from me to all soon to be nex owner: DO NOT PURCHASE 3RD PARTY EW, ONLY FROM SONY CENTRE... bruce.gif

Here's the video showing the remote control feature. I think the phone is connected directly to the camera.
