I finally got a new camera, after a few years of shooting with the Sony NEX-5
I broke down and bought the most recent version, the Sony NEX-5N. What
can I say, it takes great pictures and it’s super easy, and super light.
I -was- considering changing to Canon (because my friend uses it and his
pictures are fantastic) but camera, lenses, etc = way too much money.
Then I thought about the NEX-7, but there were a few reasons that I
changed my mind about it.
First, it’s not really available yet unless you want to buy one from a scalper.
No thanks.
Also, I belive that the 5N images are better. Simple as that.
The focus system is super, and fast, and I just get the shots I want.
See for yourself.
