Hmm the IR reviews sounds more balance and neutral. It list out the pros and cons candidly compared to the Dpreview ones.
Alot of cons listed , but not bad enough to stop me to get one haha. Cheers
Sony NEX announced ...

ability to do wireless with 42am 58am ll be really nice.. maybe in next generation
I also will skip the 1st version, waiting for the next version
Waiting also for Zeisses lenses readyness for these NEX
Almost buy a GF1 to accompany my A350 for their Leica Elmarit :devil:

compare ISO here..
http://www.imaging-resource.com/IMCOMP/COMPS01.HTM
i am really really impressed with high ISO..

I agreed. I also used this site to make comparisons with the high ISO kings like D700, D90, 550D, 5DM2, etc, and it seems NEX5 does not lose out a lot even at ISO3200 and 6400.
Compared to A550, it also seems to be a tad cleaner with NEX5.
Of course, m4/3 cameras are out of the league once ISO passes 1600. APS-C sensors by no surprise wins hands down.
As a low light camera, this little NEX is really exciting. Can't wait to be first in the queue to buy again. :sweat:
Not much specs/rumours on it yet right ? Think Nex 3/5 could be used to test the potential of the product , and then throw up a high end Nex 7 , along the prices of current m4/3 . To get back the margins haha .
To be fair , in terms of electronics ( not solely Imaging) , Sony has the bigger R&D muscle to draw on experts from cross functions/products engineers.
But the NEX is really out of the box , its really a bold step forward in terms of packing all the ingredients into one small chasis. And Kudos goes to them to throw away existing models design. I think thats the hard part as much people will think " if it aintbroken , then dont fix it and waste money" . Thats where innovation comes in.
For all you know , others will start to launch their prototypes soon . Then it will get even more interesting

Sony has always been an innovative company that comes out with their own design and specification rather than following the crowd.
Not all their products has been successful but lately they have been quite formidable and their pricing has come down to reasonable level as well.
Probably they have headhunted all the sensor/imaging designers from their competitors...

The body is so small but the lens is still same size. In fact the back of the lens where it connects with the body, protrudes.
To me it does not make sense. Either design smaller lenses to fit the smaller body or make something like the Oly or Panny sized mirrorless.
Do you even have a good grip and balance with this set up? To me it just looks weird and unbalanced.

If they could reduce the size of the lenses, they would have done so. Why make so much effort to reduce the body yet not the lenses right? It must have been the sensor size that is the limitation that governs the size of the lenses, esp when you need to pack OSS and AF motor in them.
If they give you a small sensor like m4/3, would you accept the IQ?
Comeon, let's be practical. You want good IQ yet small body, this is the best you can get.
Wait till you handle the real camera on your hands before commenting on it will be a fairer way to judge this new product.

I think the Hand grip looks deep enough for the thumb and fingers to have a firm grip. Let Zuikoku , give his comments on this . I am interested to find out too . heh

i wun discount the fact that 18-200 looks really big. but it doesn't make sense to make a bigger body Nex to make the setup so called more balanced..
it seems here the e-mount is meant for bigger development ahead.

video looks way cool. sony will generate more entertainment for 2010

Hmm indeed. Interchangeable lens consumer grade camcorder.
:thumbsup: Agree . 2010 will could be a Video/Still picture revolutionary year

When Olympus came out with the four-thirds concept integrating a smaller body, smaller sensor and smaller lens, it made sense. They wanted a small light weight camera for people to easily use.
While quality from those cameras are good, maybe they can’t compare to the bigger APS sensors. But the four-thirds quality has been improving in leaps and bounds.
Sony is now making an even smaller camera body, and I think using a APS sensor. But they are not making smaller lenses, i.e. a whole new breed of camera. To me that kinda defeats the purpose. You cannot use the NEX body alone. You need the lenses which are big compared to the body. So the goal of compactness is only half achieved.
If Sony or other manufacturers can make a smaller sized sensor with quality as good as current APS or four-thirds, together with corresponding smaller lenses then I think that would be more revolutionary.

If they can reduce the size of the sensor to 1/1.6 or better still 1/2.33 and still match M4/3 or APS ... in terms of high ISO resolution, that would be really ideal... But that may take many more years ....

but then the m4/3 or aps sensors would have improved as well, and the same argument again .. except people will be comparing at iso 51200 and beyond :bsmilie:
