Eisa (The European Imaging and Sound Association) has choosen the Sony NEX-5 as best mirrorless camera 2010-2011. I believe nobody here will disagree with that decision 
In the meanwhile one of our prefered websites Kurtmunger.com tested the NEX cameras (and compared the NEX-5 with the A700). Also Amateur Photographer posted a NEX-5 review.
As you know we started a new SonyAlphaRumors section. Many manufactors are building more and more adapters for E-mount cameras. And we want to see how those third-party lenses do work on our NEX cameras! I would be happy if you send me your images taken with third party lenses and also some nice cameraporn pictures
Today we show you the Voigländer 35mm and 40mm f/1.4 lenses. They are both M-mount lenses so you need to use the Leica M-mount to E-mount adapter (just click here to check out the whole list of available adapters on eBay)
The Voigtländer 35mm f/1.4 lens
Let’s start with the cameraporn: An image of the Sony NEX-5 + 35mm lens is available here at Flickr and here again at Flickr. As you can see it’s a pretty compact and nice combination!
Image samples are available at Flickr.
To buy the lens and for price informations just check out for current eBay auctions (click here).
The Voigtländer 35mm f/1.4 lens
We found some nice images on Clubsnap. Pictures were taken handheld, edited but without noise reduction done. All taken at f/2-2.8 aperture. There is also one image on Flickr
To buy the 40mm lens and for price informations just check out for current eBay auctions (click here).
Do you have some more image samples or camerporn pics to share? Comment this post or send us an email!

Everyone from Dpreview to Lumnous Landscape likes the new Sony cameras (epsecially the Translucent A55/A33 pair). But not everyone seems to be happy with the new products. I thought it is good for our readers to read the “different” opinions and arguments. So take it with a grain of salt ok?
The first negative post is from EosHD -> “Dear Sony… The A55 is just not good enough”.
The second is from Sony lover and hacker Vitaly Kiselev on DVXuser -> Sony a33/a55/a569/a580 disaster
They both follow our website so feel free to add your opinion by commenting this post!
The lens review website Photozone tested the new E-mount 16mm and 18-55mm lenses. According to their tests the 16mm lens “technically it isn’t really an impressive lens“. They liked the 18-55mm which “is a very decent kit zoom lens“.

Sony NEX-VG10 AVCHD E-Mount Lens Camcorder
Luminous Landscape tested the camera and explained why it has a “fake” 60i: “in brief, what’s going on is that the AVCHD standard doesn’t include 30P, but it does include 60i. Most Sony’s AVCHD cameras (including the VG10) capture 30P, but make it appear to other devices as 60i. Most non-linear editors, such as Final Cut, figure this out by themselves, and when you check the Info screen will confirm that the footage is 30P.“.
Luminous Landscape also talked about the missing 24p feature: “I asked the question of why 24P is missing of Sony’s marketing people and didn’t get a satisfactory answer. No Sony camcorders below their pro and semi-pro models have 24P. Many prosumer cameras from Canon, Panasonic and others do offer 24P, so it seems that this is simply a market segmentation strategy on Sony’s part. High-end cameras get it, lower end cameras don’t. Which means that in Sony’s marketing mind the VG10 is a low-end camera.”
A Sony NEX-VG10 First Look Review has been posted at Digitalcamerareview and at Sonyinsider.
Alister Chpaman tested the NEX-VG10 and makes RAW files available for download! He is also sure that “this camera will be popular with those that are seeking the filmic look.”
