I used to use touch screen as I can faster turn to my prefer mode . We pay for what we going to get, anyhow, F3 good for self portrait, should be targeting for girl segment(I think so ).
*
If I got $$$ I will get both LOL.
I am facing hard decision for 5N or F3 too.

F3 having 180 degree flipping preview, build in flash,
better kit lens 18-55mm and 55-200mm combination.

I had choose 5N, due to smaller n compact size and touch screen.

Basically NEX camera is very good in low light, I am not bringing the flash out.

The 16mm f2.8 is useless unless u wana mount a fisheyes or super wide (i might try it in future).

most of the time I am using 18-55mm without flash, focus using touch screen smile.gif

So Sharp, amazing...when n where you bought the lens? What will be the pricing?
*
The NEX twin lens plus 2 marumi filter, plus sony 16gb, plus extra battery rm3010 and e to a mount adaptor rm 550, just bough 1 month ago.
Sal50f18 bought 2 years ago for my alpha, rm 500 I thinks. Prime lens usually sharp but I have to do manual focus because the lens SAM focus very slow. Good combination for product shooting under low light....

it is SAL lens... guess you are on a LA-EA2 adapter... correct me if i'm wrong...
nice pic  brows.gif

La-ea 1 haha...version 2 is too expensive, I can get a better lens. But la-ea 2 is superb in focusing, very very fast with 100 % success rate. for la-ea1 , it will be like zeee......zaaaaaa......zeee.....zaaa....extreme hard to focus with 90% fail on 50mm. slightly better with Sal 18-55 , usually I usemanual focus.

Hi all,

Just stepped into NEX world with a NEX-C3. Wow, I love the panorama function.

A question - is anyone here using Canon EF/EFS lens with their NEX? using the EOS-E mount adapter? I have a Canon EF 50mm 1.8 and was thinking to try it with my NEX... but just wonder if the image quality can be close to the Sony SEL50F18?

Anyone tried? Thanks!

U will hate the focusing/without focus feature if using adaptor. I am using Sony alpha lens with original adaptor, but auto focusing is hell if u wana shot something move very fast

your statement means SEL is better than EF in 50F18?
*
When the time I get adapter, only one thinking in mind, make all my old lens compatible with nex. Not hopping much, I think better get original e mout lens, not because of quality. If using adapter, u need to manual focus while Ur walking, original lens is much more faster performance.

For rm120, i can buy 2 x 32gb kingston sd class 4, making it a whopping 64gb in total.  hmm.gif

Haha I was thinking exactly same like u b4 I get eyefi, I hear the eyefi name many months ago but I think it is too expensive and never try. but now I love that eyefi card more then everything else. Sometimes 4gb or 64gb no diff. I can't finish 4gb in one shooting sessions. And I always have 16gb backup in my bag which I never use. The good of eyefi, if u in home with wifi, u can directly view picture right after shoot, and later the photo will reach FB. You just need to change the permission from private to public. No need takeout card or plug in plug out cable, no need card reader, no need copy and wait, no need build Ur own folder...

If u have no wifi internet, but got smartphone installed eyefi apps, every shoot will send to your phone instantly (few sec). My eyefi card will always remains 90% free space at anytime.

Work perfect with NEX

Can give a try. smile.gif the price actually rm200 plus if buy from Malaysia seller. And please dun buy flu-card rm150 8gb singapore brand which is a crap product.

I guess you never use RAW... smile.gif If you do, 4GB tadak cukup man!! smile.gif

but it does sound interesting how it works, sounds very easy and convenient to use but for me, i'm still a traditional person smile.gif haha

U right, I use jpg only, raw will be problem if no wifi and no handphone nearby (can't upload to phone).

For normal use okey, got 8gb but the price is extreme expensive totally not worth.

i thought u r using SAL lens to take the picture?
SAL stands for Sony alpha lens... for dslr used  blush.gif

Sal is A mount for Sony / Minolta dslr, while la-ea 2 is the adaptor to convert it to E mount, if u got other brand of lens like canon/Nikon, try other adaptor which is cheaper. Not worth to invest la-ea2 unless u got very good Sony alpha lens and wana plug it to Nex and enjoy fast auto focus....

CPL filter is like when we go to fishing's time wear sun glasses which can see through the surface of water to look at the fish is it??
and can make sky more blue and sharp correct??

if i buy back a Hoya UV Filter is it ok?? how about Kenko brand? B+W is too expensive for me

thanks
*
Quite true if the water is clear enough u can see fish, but I think without that u also can see fish. One thing about cpl, I blive it using same technology on our LCD watch screen, u try turn Ur cpl while look into Ur electronic watch, it turn full black. It limit the direction of light, so reflection at diff direction will be blocked. I got a hoya cpl also, but very less use it

so solid example between F3 vs 5N of low light pictures.
But the significant difference is that F3
is bigger in size, built in tilt-able flash, 180 degree screen to let you "SS" with your friends or family  tongue.gif

5N is built with metal though
*
I myself choose 5n becus of solid body and no flash attach, and smaller, but sometimes will miss f3, because of the flipping preview screen and flash when I do BBQ with friend at night, overall feel same, and they have better twin lens combination. That 16mm is useless unless u want to play fisheyes. So go for f3.

Goto dpreview, then do a high ISO compare for 5n and mark ii, hehe no lose everything, this tiny aps-c sensor can defeat mark ii with same quality.

Hi,

Newbie here. Want to ask about NEX F3, it can only fit the Sony Lenses? If can fit others, what are the choices? Or all can? Kindly advise ><
*
U just need adaptor to fit most of the branded lens, price from few hundred to thousand, LA-EA2 auto focus is fast but Somesaid its translucent mirror will reduce pict quality
