maybe u can start reading about composition, ur pic lack of that, so its kinda... normal

why is it lacking composition?

just my opinion, i think its quite messy, the center flower is not outstanding enough...

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.

1st image - Background too noisy, can't express out the flower.

2nd image - Color dull, look boring, cannot striking out the food taste.

Hi, i m thinking to let go my D700 n get a nex camera. How u guys think?
Btw, anyone try compare use adaptor+ normal dslr lens compare with nex kit? Do they a lot different? I means if like nikkor 18-55vr compare with thhe nex 18-55?
Thank for sharing...

Cause i considering to stick with my all nikkor lens by adaptor or just use the nex kit.

You're letting go a Full Frame for a APS-c???

Yes, i'm using an adapter. Can say that coming from a D700 you will feel shortchanged, cause manual focusing can be frustratingly slow and your subjects could lose patience. You also lose the VR VRII functions, no aperture control on some Nikkors and some EXIF data would not be available.

Makes more sense to keep your D700 and get the Nex just as a backup or when the situation is more suitable for it.

I see, cause my d700 is heavy for daily use... btw, i thought the new adaptor got auto focus?
Thinking to use with nikkor 12-24 n 70-300vr...

Adaptor no auto focus. It will be very front heavy also. Controls of D700 score 10 points. Control on NEX (except Nex 7) score 2 points only. Please don't simply sell before you play well with the NEX!!! There is also no wide angle options on NEX.

hi ya! am newbie with nex 5A. Try to upgrade firmware v 5 but failed. any quick thought?

How u update? How it failed? what error message? battery enough? USB connector ok?
pls be more specific when asking help, then only others can try to figure out the problem.

Huh, i thought LA-EA2 from sony can auto focus? Nikkor on it still manual focus?
Btw, here no ppl using dslr lens or prime lens with nex? I thinking get the kit or body only with the adaptor

LA-EA2 must use A mount lens to AF. It can't even take a Nikkor lens.

So far I guess it's only the Sony E-mount to canon EOS EF-mount, and Sony E-mount to Sony Amount adapters which are electronically connected. I haven't heard of an electronic one for Nikkor yet, so it's manual focus/manual aperture but i'm also hoping for an electronic one haha.

There are many that use manual lenses on the NEX. Leica lenses even.

Your 12-24 should work fine with the NEX+Adapter because it has an aperture lever behind the lens. VR is i guess not an issue at this focal length. So you must find an adapter that has an aperture ring as well.

The electronic adapter only support the change of aperture. All lenses still need to be focused manually. Have not seen any adapter that can AF. I guess probably won't have one due to the difficulties.

Ok, understand already...

hi guys, I want to buy NEX-5 body case: http://www.sony.com.my/product/lcs-emb1a. Anyone selling this online please?

Loon1983, not sure how serious you are about photography, but since you own a D700 and 2 other mentioned FF lenses, I believe you're not in this just for fun, so I'd recommend that you keep your D700 and get a backup from a NEX if you need one. Both are 2 different worlds apart. Even if you die die also want to change, get a NEX7. Tats your best bet. You can mount a proper flash at the very least.

At the end it's still up to you if you're to sell your entire system and jump mirrorless.
