Sony NEX-5N video quality reviews.

EosHD (Click here) posted the video on top and a short NEX-5n review: “There is absolutely no doubt that Sony have produced a dark horse here, at this price and position in the range. It offers the biggest amount of bang per square inch and per dollar that I have ever seen. Due to it’s size and compatibility out of the box with PL mount lenses, it could also replace a director’s viewfinder with a digital equivalent.

Sony NEX-5n tested with two ultraspeed lenses (Leica and Noktor).

The fastes lens we have for our NEX systems are the just announced Zeiss 24mm (Click here to preorder) and the 50mm (Click here to preorder), both having f/1.8 aperture. But what to do if you need faster lenses? Steve Huff (Click here) tested two 50mm f/0.95 lenses on the new Sony NEX-5n.
1) The expensive Leica Noctilux 50mm f/0.95 ([shoplink 8696 ebay]Click here to see that on eBay[/shoplink]).
2) The new Noktor 50mm f/0.95 with E-mount (!) which is now available on [shoplink 8695 ebay]eBay (Click here)[/shoplink].

Steve says: “For the last two shots I focused on different points so I did not put up a crop. The one thing we can say for certain is that the Leica is sharper not only on the focus point but at the edges as well. I guess we are paying for something huh? The Noktor is built VERY well, almost Leica like but it is a bit bigger. Then again, it is a f/0.95 lens. With the EVF and focus peaking, these lenses are a breeze and joy to manual focus.” Read the full test with image sampels at Steve Huff (Click here).

Double Sony A35 review.

[shoplink 7419][/shoplink]

There is a new double [shoplink 7419]Sony A35[/shoplink] review:

Photographyblog (Click here) says: “The area that we’re most impressed with is the noise performance. It’s a pet peeve so we were gushing over the higher ISO settings which showed little or no noise at all. The EXMOR sensor gives punchy primary colours but not so much that they look unrealistic. In fact, in some cases, we preferred how the Sony recorded the colours to what was in front of our eyes.

AVhub (Click here) said about the A35: “It’s better featured than many of its rivals, nicely compact and hugely capable. The plus points are things Sony can obviously do well like the LCD monitor screen and the quality of the video recording, but from a photographic point-of-view this is a very likeable camera. It’s undoubtedly going to help Sony boost its market share.

Sony NEX-5n first look and image samples. It is the most sold Sony camera and in Stock now at Amazon!

The video on top belongs to Steve Huff (Click here) that just posted a new Sony NEX-5n preview: “The one thing I noticed when I started shooting the 5N is the color is greatly improved. Also, higher ISO all the way up to 12800 is improved with this new sensor so Sony has done it yet again in regards to low light performance in a tiny body. The shutter sound has improved and we now get a solid and quick snick compared to the sloppy thunk of the NEX-5. The 5N seems like a great BANG FOR THE BUCK kind of camera.“. You can also see some image samples on his website. Another two website posted a set of image samples, Dpnow (Click here) and Fotopolis (Click here).

And as you see from the latest Amazon ranking (Click here to see them) the Sony NEX-5n is the best sold (or preordered) Sony camera (Position 13).  Also because it is in Stock now (Click here)! The two NEX-7 kits (Click here to preorder) are on position 19 and 20.

Sony NEX-FS100 review at Engadget.

[viddler id=cf71bbcc&w=545&h=307]

Engadget (Click here) tested the Sony NEX-FS100: “Some gadgets are worth making sacrifices for, however, and this is one of them. It delivers the raw cinematic beauty permitted by a large sensor, along with a smart lens platform and all the essential video and audio controls and I/O options required by any professional shooter. Muscling through on a DSLR or VG10 does not even compare.“. You can get the NEX-FS100 at BHphpoto (Click here).

Sony NEX-C3 review at Soundimagesplus (Click here): “While I’m still not convinced that the NEX system, as it currently stands, is for me, there is no doubt that you get an awful lot of good things for your money. First and foremost here is the file size and image quality. Top quality and certainly equal to and in many cases better than a DSLR.“. The NEC-C3 is in Stock at [shopcountry 7207].
