I got the F3 bout 1 week ago.

Been toying around with it and so far really satisfied. (I'm a 5D + 24-105L user btw).

The bounce-able built in GN13 flash is the killer feature for me.
And the tiltable LCD for cam-whoring with gf. tongue.gif
The sharpness is pretty good so far? Never pixel peep though.

Best thing is the portability, now I can have a good cam with me wherever I go.  thumbup.gif

Seriously, I'm dumping the 5D.  sweat.gif

Will post up a personal review of the F3 in a few days.  smile.gif

went to sony center to have a look on the nex F3, quite bulky compare to other nex series due to the 180 degree rotated screen~

btw would liek to ask any F3 user here, how is it compare to the nex 3(1st nex camera) ?
*
Just posted this earlier (vs C3) and almost convinced myself to get one.


QUOTE
The F3 size is now bigger and more balanced with the 18-55 lens.

Now got built-in flash.. no more carrying that external unit around or breaking the cover flap.

Now the internal flash can tilt for limited bounce when needed.

Now got electronic first curtain shutter --> less shutter lag

Now supports the electronic viewfinder --> increase zen level.

Now does lens correction at RAW level which is awesome --> instant augmented lens quality

Now with killer feature of 180 degree flip LCD so can camwh0re oneself or with a partner.

Edison should buy one.

Hi bro lwliam,

Nice photo! Before nex I shoot with my 4yrs old A200+1750, and had used to the IQ, I comparing the 1750, 17mm and nex 16mm, under similar condition, similar setting, 4yrs old a200+1750@17mm is much much at least 300% better than my 1.5yrs old nex5+16mm... In term if sharpness, details, colours, no fight at all... Only if that combination is too bulky... And to be frank, my LX-3 at 24mm seems to have better IQ than nex 16mm...

I might be unlucky and get an inferior copy, that's why looking for replacement to gain back my confidence with nex.

Hi jerm,

I'm gonna sell my 16mm, it might be a good lens only doesn't suit me, Im gonna replacing my camera cap to 19mm, my 16mm still in very mint condition, I think shutter count with this lens <1000 as my nex sc only 2200, and most of my time I shoot with my 50mm and 85mm.

My sample photo, instead of soft edge another reason to sell it is too wide for shooting in street, hehe. Just offer me a price if it's ok I will just sell it.

I'm planning to buy a NEX-5N for my coming trip on early Oct.

I've checked around and I found that the price for single lens(NEX-5NK) is around RM2150-2200 with the usual freebies(SD card, bag etc.)

I also understand there's a new NEX-F5 coming next month?

Is it a bad idea to buy it now? Do you guys think there'll be a significant price drop( >RM200? ) for the NEX-5N once the new NEX is announced?

Thanks~

Shot is underexposed a bit ... read up "metering"... reckon it needs another +2/3 EV

Like Ah hao said... the flower kinda messy. Maybe try another angle and/or more narrow dof to make isolate the flower that you want to use as the subject.

thanks for ur remind, i used to be fulltime photographer last few years... work in some models trainning center n agency...  under some beauty n slimming center... also take part in wedding shoot...
but since last year, i no more taking job, doing my own business... now just shoot for fun, so thinking of let go my sysytem n get a smaller camera...  blush.gif


Added on August 21, 2012, 12:34 amagain, do u think i should take nex 5n or f3? i heard new model launching end of this month, should i wait?
*
My dua sen.... I don't own either and experience with them is via collegues cameras. Usefulness may vary

NEX-5N got:
- Shoots faster @ 10fps vs 5.5fps on the F3.
- Magnesium body vs plastic on F3
- Downwards tilt LCD for overhead shot.... F3's down tilt more limited but it tilts 180degrees for camwh0ring rclxms.gif
- IR receiver for remote control and can plug remote cable while F3 don't have both and bulb mode's gonna be painful.

NEX-F3 got:
- Build in flash for fill flashing
- Accessory port supports electronic viewfinder just like 5N but 5N cannot use both fill flash and EVF together... so bright sunny day= not too great.
- Bigger body that's more balanced (weee bit) with the kit 18-55
- Better grip (personal opinion).

The rumours can be found in sonyalpharumors.com but rumor summary are:

- 5N replacement model out soon with Wifi, App support and faster hybrid autofocus.
- there's a NEX-6 coming which is like the diet coke cheaper version of NEX-7.. with lower res but build in electronic viewfinder but with 5N replacement's feature set.
- Full frame NEX that takes both Alpha A-mount and E-mount (dunno how) in crop mode just like FX / DX.

On the "NEX-6", do I see a double dial? One as a mode dial, the other larger ring as a normal thumb dial? Wonder how much tilt does the screen has.
*
Looks like a double dial there... should be cos the NEX-5R also got that tri-navi-like type of dial.

What a Nex, I rather invest on lens, as nex 6n, nex f6, nex c6 gonna launch within 2 yrs time...

Lens, wheres the better quality lenses ?

The rumor link also got say mar...

Coming soon

QUOTE
Sony 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6: It is a pancake zoom with OSS and power zoom.
Sony 11-18 f/4.0: Normal (non pancake) zoom.
Sony 35mm f/1.8: Fast non expensive prime lens as big as the Sigma 30mm lens.


Don't like power zoom but a 16-50 looks pretty darn useful with that 16 on the wide end... then got UWA coming with the 11-18... and a fast standard.

If this 3 is true and doesn't dissappoint... then m43 jalat jor.

NEX-6 + 35mm f1.8 + 16mm f2.8 for me enough jor.... most most add 50mm f1.8 OSS as optional.

if the rumours are true then NEX-5R will the the only NEX without built in flash

funny cause NEX-5 series is suppose to be higher end than NEX-3 series  laugh.gif

or maybe sony thinks that not everyone needs the built in flash  hmm.gif

NBTD so post crap here.... me thinks.

NEX-7
- King of the hill.

NEX-6
- I think this will be awesome street camera.. targeting enthuasiast with slightly deeper pocket and diehard traditionalist who die die must stick something to the eye else boh song. This I think is the real spiritual successor to the NEX-5 and NEX-5N
I think stevehuff will blah blah about how this is the next big thing and then biatch about how the EVF resolution not nice.

NEX-5R
- Target cheapfag camera geeks who dun wanna pay more for NEX-6 with new sensor, hybrid AF, control dial and most niceties found in entry DSLR's at that price point.. hope they improve on the bracketing options though


NEX-F3
- Target mainstream consumers... multi color IDs, camwh0re LCD, poppy flash.
- No hybrid AF cos consumer tak paham what's hybrid AF... mei mei's also don't run very fast otherwise sweat and ruin makeup.
- No remote shutter cable or IR remote cos consumers don't pakai bulb mode.

QUOTE(samsungfreak @ Aug 21 2012, 03:44 PM)
I think the total camera models released exceed the total number of lenses....
*
Boh pien la... since they target consumer and consumers cares more about how many creative filters the camera has rather than muck around with lens.

Chicken and egg situation.... no market share = many lens also no use. So better grab market share kau kau first by converting the biggest slice of the pie.
