Sony Nex 5 or Samsung NX10


nowadays I see xmms carrying heavy and bulky dslr. Think that times are changing :):)

LOL sooner or later they'll start carrying monster lenses too.

when that happens, there's no more excuses for men to carry the shopping bags :bsmilie:

Forget about Samsung! Go for the Nex5, top selling and backed by a solid brand in camera and video technology. Also beter resale value for Sony.


Hi All,

I have sold my DSLR A700 as I seldom use due to weight and size ..since I mainly go for business traveling..still heart-pain about selling that one away..sighz..got to be practical and let go

Would like to seek professional advise on comparing Nex 5 and NX10

Initially thinking of getting Nex 5 but after trying NX10.. the feel seem to be more solid (maybe i so used to DSLR) but Samsung this brand seem not "camera brand" and very little user as compare to Sony..

After extensive search in web.. there is mixed reviewed..some say NX10 better and vice versa.. Since I always in this thread with all professional around...

Can give me some professional advise..especially Minolta old Bird... I am still a Minolta fan in heart! ;)

Thank

Rdgs

I ageee. Im a fan of Samsung too. I like the design. My fridge, TV, HP, washing machine, all Samsung. But if it's come to video & photography, I prefer Sony without a doubt (despite Nikon & Canon of coz)..
 

was about to buy Nikon D3100 but was told A33 or Nx10 is much better by Sales-guy.
Don't Believe him, thus did some research for 1 day and realised the following:

1) Ben Heine's photostream

2) Gensu's photostream

Amazingly beautiful.

Woah ! :bigeyes: ...never thought I'll live to see the day somebody proclaims this ! :bsmilie:
 

sorry to intrude...
does anyone know any significant difference between NEX-5 (sold in Singapore)
and NEX-5C (for China market) ?

Nope. Just the Language I think.
 

thanks for reply.
just checked, the lens and body is made in thailand.
maybe it's the same as the Singapore version.
price with a 18-55mm lens is about S$800.
except for the chinese manual, everything else is the same I hope.
 

overall, Nx10 not bad. Would upload my pix soon.

one more.. NEX-5C have no Eye-Fi support.
can anyone verify the NEX-5 sold in Singapore have this feature ?
(I'm in Shanghai now, and contemplating whether to buy it here or in Singapore when I'm back for CNY)
 

nex5 rely on software / menu to change settings. some find this cumbersome to navigate, especially you too familiar with manual controls. nx10 does provide the compactness + full manual controls. for street photography, it quite a good camera (for its size).

hmm was at China Land just now and ALL of the EVIL/MIL cameras were NEX-5 and NEX-3.

i suppose it's the form factor that's not scary to people on the streets

the NEX's pet peeve is more usable now, thanks to their v3 fw.
