Oh, maybe you can buy the e mount adapter and use the Minolta lens.

Y dont u head over Sony Center and play with NEX that attached with 18-55mm lens and only decide?

To all sifu out there I just sold my d3100 because i am not pro and no time to learn for it so wanna get nex , any sifu can recommen ? I like to take picture with blur effect and potrait photo

welcome to the orange side! i sold my a300 last time and upgraded/downgraded to NEX5 and i've never regretted it

very nice bro, mine to share where i can buy it?

thanks bro , mind to share which kit should i buy ? nice to take blur and potrait photo thanks

Since I got my NEX... sell of my D60 and 90 muahahaha... now fully with NEX-5 no regret and no turning back...

NEX is the best thing!!! performance of nikon D90 and so easssssy to use also small

Another macro-in week..BTW, I hv a quick comparison wth Ragnox 250 macro filter Vs My Hoya +4 & Ilens +10 combined. Well, the +14 given closer image but the quality, I hv to admit Ragnox better. Upon zooming, the _14 macro filter having outer yellowish lines whereas, Ragnox no yellowish lines..

yo fellowship of the Orange side! I always recommend my friends to buy one NEX camera whenever they ask me for opinion on getting a entry level dslr, I'd recommend them to get a Nex camera, though I've not really use one for myself, HAHA.

I got the chance to try the C3 at a store and dug some info out of the Internet and coming from the user of Nikon and Canon DSLR myself, I have to admit that the Nex series cameras do have a serious pack of performance in such a camera body and capable of out-performing the "Rebel" (Well depending on the situation and I dont wanna butthurt those DSLR users, just simply my own opinion anyway.)

Surely I'll get one NEX camera for myself in the future.

Raynox is only +8, of course cannot compare with your +14 Hmm, focusing seems to be somewhat off with those ants of yours though...

yes sifu there which lens should i get with nex 5 for bokeh and potrait thanks

even the 18-55 kit lens can produce the bokeh and nice portrait shots with the right control of aperture, object and background distance.
after u get the NEX, there are frequent free Sony Lifestyle workshop to get you right on track.
Yesterday i just join the Home Portrait shot with NEX workshop, it is really nice to get you hands on with the basic NEX kit lens and lighting u can get at home.

In future, then u can invest the SEL50F18 for portrait, i just tested it at the workshop. Really easy to use AF, fast and sharp!
If have low budget, can try to get those legacy lens like minolta 50/1.7, Konica Hexanon 50/1.7, etc which just cost few hundreds but with nice optic. but then u need to get used to Manual Focus!

Shaking hand mah at this max F5.6 _ macro haha..furthermore the focusing area getting super narrow at this max zoom range. If using Raynox, the focusing area slightly bigger and more area to focus.. Yeah you can see the tail part abit out of focus fo sure and if you DL & zoom-in further, you can see the yellowish lines. Raynox- no yellow-yellow wan haha...hand gatal abit wanna get a raynox liao but dunno how to sell these overpriced maro filters..

how do we clean the image sensor of the NEX C3?
thanks

Getting a 5N soon, does the "clicking" noise still exist on new batch of this camera? If I noticed it while purchasing, shall I just ignore it or insist to get a no noise unit?

for macro it's best if you use a smaller aperture to get more depth of field (or more things in focus)... especially when you are using a filter to achieve macro.. don't be afraid to boost your ISO to raise the shutter speed to freeze the ants..

tnx for the tip..but normally I set everything to auto except to the macro scn mode haha..should I go for M mode?

If you got time to experiment then by all means go ahead see how aperture changes affect your pictures.
