I still can't make up my mind to get 5r or 6 yet

After reading bunch of reviews it seems the main advantage of 6 over 5r is

(i) handling
(ii) hotshoe
(iii) dual dial

but performance wise they are about the same? So is it worth it to pay extra rm500 for 6?

Also i really liked the 180 degrees flip of the 5r's screen, hard choice argh!

Btw i'm going to travel on the first of Dec, think the 5r and 6 will be in before that?


Thanks sifus for comments!

do you guys know where can get sony nex-5n 2 years installment package with hsbc bank? i ask liao few sony center near my house only with hong leong bank......

p.s. i at pj area

I think there are two other big differences, NEX 6 has the OLED EVF, 5R doesn't.... and also 6 has the built in flash, 5R doesn't...

For NEX6 even in US Sony Store, shipping will only start on 11 Nov 2012. Don't know whether available in Malaysia by 1/12....

I have see for HSBC installment for 1 years at Sony center KLCC maybe you can try call them ..

hi folks.. just want to do a random survey.. what could be the lowest price for SEL24F18Z ya?

any buyer before?

thanks.

Is there anyone can help advise whether NEX 6 with auto ISO still gives priority to ISO first, then other values (Shutter for Smode or Aperture in Amode)?

Thanks

the main difference is that 6 has the EVF, buildin flash and standard hotshoe,
5R has the touchscreen and 180 degree LCD

so see which features you require

maybe you can download the user manual and see if it can answer your question -

NEX6 and 5R confirm will be here either mid/end of nov...

Hmmm i'm just worried the EVF will not be very comfortable to use given the size of the camera, hopefully both will be in before i travel so can try first.

Thanks alot!

In fact, i did a search from the Nex6 manual but its not really explaining it clearly. Thats the reason i am asking is there anyone who experiencing this.

Thx

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

Or if you can get your hands on any rangefinder cameras, then that will be the same as well.

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

by the way, try look for studio zaloon fb... they have an alpha day in coming weekend... u can test out all the brand new release by sony like a99, nex 5r and 6 !!!

Tentatively 7th with B&H photos

Around 3k+

Go call up Studio Zaloon and ask. Spoon feeding for prices ain't good!

Does it really matter?

If you don't want your camera to exceed certain ISO, might as well lock the ISO at the desired setting and tweak around with the SS nia right?

rangefinder focusing is very different la
besides rangefinder is OVF not EVF

yeah, but he was asking whether comfortable or not with respect to the size... not E/OVF or focusing style.

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

got the same dilemma as well

coming from a point and shoot I'm used to taking picture through the screen, but sometimes under bright sunlight it's really hard to take picture. So spending the extra RM600 for the NEX-6 to get the EVF seems worth it

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.

Go spend more, than you will appreciate the art of Carl Zeiss

I think the 600 bucks is definitely worth it.
