Probably a dumb question, but if I upgrade from Lightroom 3 to 4, will it retain all of my attributes/edits, or is there an easy way to import them?

Am I missing something? Everywhere I look- Sony, Amazon, etc…the a57 is $200 less than the a65…($699 vs $899 body)

Some really good stuff…I like to see people using their cameras for taking pictures on here instead of flaming this technology or that. There are obviously some very talented photographers on this blog, even if every one of them has probably been accused of “not knowing anything about photography” at some point because of an [...]

Seriously…do we need 8 zoom lenses for the NEX? Assuming the standard zoom will be a 17-50 2.8 (and probably the eventual kit lens for the 7 series), what exactly would be the specs of a “middle magnification zoom”?

Wtf…has Sony canned this lens or what? How did the original availability of 12/14/2011 become so wrong you can’t even pre-order it now. Sony’s site said December right until that date arrived, then nothing. Maybe they’ve moved it to the 2012 roadmap, and that’s why there’s going to be “several” NEX lenses this year.

Any news on the (2011) 50mm 1.8 availability? Sony store US still has no date for shipment listed, even when they list April for some things, like the A77 or NEX-7 body only. Does this mean we’re potentially talking summer before we see this lens stateside?

Not just for video, but for low-light stills as well…1.8 with no OSS gives no advantage over kit 4.5 with OSS. With OSS, such a lens would be a low-light beast on the 5n.

People make this comment a lot…the NEX cameras ARE part of the Alpha line. Sony alpha NEX. The website does not say “Sony A-mount Rumors.” I’m thankful for all of the news on this site!

Good point about the image stabilization. It makes a big difference, at least in my experience with the 5n- in low light, the kit lens gives me better pictures at 35mm f4.5 than when I use my 35mm 1.8 with an adapter wide open. The kit lens IS seems to give me more stops of [...]

Dang, if you put the Nex 5n next to the Fuji on that site, it makes the Fuji look ridiculously huge- its footprint looks bigger than Sony’s mid-rage SLTs. Is that accurate?

Wasn’t the original rumor about 3 FF cameras? Is the A99 the “affordable” one, or was that a third camera?

I thought Sony had price assurance or something…it was in that video that was posted yesterday, the Sony rep and B&H said no one could sell it for any different price than the one that Sony set. If it were an individual selling a used one, fine, but this looks like a store just jacking [...]

Guess its a 5n for me for Christmas then…

I noticed that my 5n felt hot to the touch after shooting stills for maybe 10 or 15 minutes, which I did not notice with my Nex 3 last year. It never turned off however, but it was hot enough that it made me concerned it could be an issue. (I was indoors at room [...]

Just got my new NEX 5n today! Already having buyer’s remorse though- I didn’t think that the lack of buttons and controls/feel in my hands would bother me as much as it did. At $700, I’m having second thoughts about how much I need this and thinking it’s going back and putting the money towards [...]

I thought that the level tool that was in all recent Sony cameras was in this one as well…

I ordered a NEX 5n as a more portable compliment to my a55, but with such high IQ, I’m wondering if there’s a point to even keeping the a55- should I sell it along with my modest collection of a-mount lenses to invest in more e-mounts and the EVF? Should I get the adapter for [...]

How does he consider the touch screen to be gimmicky? On a camera that has a limited number of buttons, the touch screen is a great idea to speed up the process of changing more detailed settings. Especially as he was fumbling with that control wheel– just touch it!

I wish I knew when Amazon would have them in stock, so whether or not to cancel my pre-order and just pay a few bucks for slow shipping.

Just saw that! Might have to cancel my Amazon pre-order and go SonyStore! Big news for US customers!
