Sony NEX-7 is available here in Taipei. NTD39,990. Body only. Too bad the 18-55mm lens is of different color. The Carl Zeiss 24mm lens is NTD 33,550. Should I?

beautiful scene with national flower..symbol of happiness..

Different color? Do you mean Black, or Silver? People were clamoring for the black kit. RM4109 converted sounds good... since list price here is RM4899 with kit.

The lens is from 5N. There's no black 5N lens. Only silver.

I'm might just cave in and just get the Carl Zeiss lens. Tired of Sony's tardiness.

Yes, why not if you can afford Carl Zeiss lenses.

My relative's NEX 7 arriving tomorrow. He sounds so excited lulz

You should create an "accident" where the camera disappears.

then i also need to create another accident to make lenses appear at my side

Does anyone found FDA-SV1 useful rather than a LCD?

The SV1 is an overpriced, cold shoe fixed viewfinder at 16mm. You stand a better chance getting a cold shoe mount, and buying 3rd party viewfinders with adjustable focal ranges.

Most probably will be getting my Nex 5N by Tomorrow.

My wish atm would be to buy an EVF, if only the price wasn't so insanely high Kinda hard to view the LCD under broad daylight, sometimes have to agak-agak take shots.



Switch to contrast detection mode. Takes the pain out of everything. Works great with manual focus lens. Also set focus to Flexible Spot and you will be able to take the fuss out of getting the right object in focus. Even with EVF there is no guarantee you have hit the sweet spot.

welcome to the club!!!


don't. save some more money and sell your gear and get NEX 7!!!!

Yeah tnx..but actually buying more for my spoilt daughter haha. She into DSLR and I tumpang happy nia. She been asking me DSLR for 2 yrs now..and the best I go for this to avoid heavy equipemnt during Holiday.

I still will be using my own Nokia N8 compact haha

Anyone using manual focus lens with adapters? I've been thinking trying out M42 lenses with my NEX-3...

Wanna ask if it's worth spending on the more expensive adapters? Or are the cheaper ones fine?

The cheaper ones might have infinity focus issues, normally focusing past infinity. Some of it can be modified by shaving down the mount, but it'll take a bit of work.

Hi everybody, got my 5NK last week, the clicking sound is really obvious and i can feel parts moving inside the camera when i shake it horizontally, how do i get it fixed ? which sony center provide the service ? thanks.

are there any Macro ring lights available for the NEX system? note that im looking for a ring LIGHT not flash.

What colour? Personally, white looks "fresh" in comparison to our usual black... But I still went with black anyway for fear of white turning into pikachu

I thought 5N uses contrast detection since it is mirrorless Or do you mean peaking mode? Well, sometimes the scene calls for speed so no time to MF lor.

Wah, don't tempt me please NEX-7 is quite a significant investment, but I must admit I like the built-in EVF, built-in flash, hotshoe, and dials! Don't need the extra megapixels though

i use cheap one (FOTGA) on my MD Rokkor .. no problem to focus infinity ..
