Sony NEX users of TMIP!

Image quality, particularly at the lower ISO range, is much better than I had expected. It's hard to compare an $800 Sony to a $6800 Canon and be objective, but I am extremely pleased with my Sony so far.

Since I got the Sony, my canon has not even made it out of the bag. I take it everywhere and really enjoy it. Like you said, the camera is just "fun" to use. I need to post some sample images, because I have gotten very lax on that week.

 

While it's not as good with action as a DSLR/SLT, you can still use it, even indoors with the slow telephoto lens!



FB strips the EXIF. ; That is ISO 3200.

 

I'm holding out to see how much the Zeiss zoom is going to cost before I buy a new lens. Although there is a Contax lens locally that I should grab ;-)

 

I got the Opteka RC-3 Wireless Remote and figured, $7 can't hurt.

Switch the NEX to IR shutter mode, it works like a charm. ; Haven't tested the distance yet but bulb mode worked perfectly. ; One push open. ; Second push close.

 

The Sony 10-18 Amazon Link -- ; B&H Link came yesterday. ; Will play with it a bit and post some samples. ;

 

Cool! I cant wait to see some 10mm stuff!

 

Harry, I'm not a big fan of fisheyes. ; The 10-18 is a little pricey but it is built like a tank. ; Solid.

 

Plus it has OSS.

 

That's the nicest sell for me - stabilized UWA. ; It's why I love my Alpha series because noone ever made stabilized short fast primes or ultrawides, but Sony and Pentax users have always had them because the stabilization was in-body. ; So it was a pleasant surprise with the NEX lenses to see the 30mm, 50mm, and 10-18mm all come out with stabilization in the lens!

 

Excellent points, Justin and Roger.

 

Yeah even though it doesn't have the *exact* same range as Nikon's 16-35 f/4 VR, it's an awfully close competitor.

It's also close to the m4/3 lens made by Panasonic, which is a 7-14mm f/4. ; (14-28) ; The Panny doesn't have IS though; but Olympus bodies would have in-body stabilization.

 

I just ordered the nex6 with the 16-50 kit lens! I will try out this combo before venturing into other lenses.

 

Welcome to the club Craig!

What Roger and Tim said!

 

thanks!
I dug out my old 2gb sd cards this morning too! They still have pictures from 2008 on them.

 

Looks like the 18-200 PZ got pushed back another 3 weeks or so...

This one is compatible with the NEX-6, etc. ; All new Sony cameras from the NEX-5R/NEX-6 on have switched to the new "standard" hotshoe (multi interface).
