Is this the 16/2.8 with a filter on it or a new version of that lens?

it doesn’t have to be small, that isn’t the point of the nex system at all. the point is you can make it small or big whereas a dslr can only be big.

most versatile and variable size system going and that’s the genius of it. means everybody has an option available that suits there needs.

You have no chance to survive make your time.

HA HA HA HA ….

>I personally don’t give rats about NEX line.

Well the NEX line is here to stay regardless of what you think of it

I agree, we really need a 300mm or a 400mm. 300mm is a basic and a must for interchangeable lenses system, it would be definitely marketable, most of the people grab a LA-EA is due to 200mm is not good enough for shooting wildlife or sports like soccer closed up.

Seeing the camera body now integrated in to the PZ lenses… God, 16-50mm is not a well received lens. I can’t imagine PZ18-200 will be a spectacular one.

Anywat, I was just dreaming if the nex6 and successor of nex7 actually came with the new SEL35f/1.8 as default.
Most of the nex6 reviewing websites using the PZ16-50 on their tests and not saying anything about the true performance of the camera with 35f/1.8 or 50f/1.8

What you say?

WTH you are hilarious. Keep up your humor brother, I am smiling

:0 -> BINGO!!!!!!!

I and I

Sometimes I feel sorry for myself.

However, to be a troll, I must be targeting someone in particular.
How is that “taking the piss” on other people?

Don’t even know why you might be annoyed at my post?

Unless you use the smile shutter featuere in your photography?!?!?

:O

The GF3/5 are the death of Panasonic, so Sony should not copy them.

I think I may get another Nex-f3 cause I cant really see the point of this new camera. I was able to use my nikon/any flash with my F3 but now without the smart port I wont be able to do that. I always buy cheap body and mid to pro quality lens because in the end it will look just as good as any of the higher end nex cameras. The good thing is the f3 price will drop even lower.

Point is that its not comfortable to use with such a lens. I personally don’t give rats about NEX line. They could release a telescope with E-mount for all I care….
For me, as long as A58 will perform well i’ll buy it, maybe even A78. I’m hoping for PDAF on sensor instead of SLT design, but thats probably wishful thinking.

I prefer to stick to one lens at all times and switch camera body depending on the circumstance. That way I can take advantage of different crop factors instead of bothering with zoom lenses.

Hurry up Sony and bring out a medium format nex so can use my 50mm lens for wide angle pics!

And the whole point of an interchangeable lens camera is to be able to change lenses to whatever suits your needs. Why have just small compact lenses? Sony should make faster bigger lenses as well. No one will force you to buy them, you can stick to your pancakes. Deal with it.

Changing the look and feel of a site is fraught with danger. From this end-user’s perspective it mostly works pretty well – although I miss the old ability to make small corrective edits in comments. It’s the flow of information that makes SAR so good!.

For me it is speed of autofocus. I need a system that works well as a kid chaser. The NEX-6 seems like an improvement but still falls short of an SLT. I have no doubt that the technology will eventually get there, but it may be a few more generations.

The ergonomics are also a factor. The little body + big lens dynamic of the NEX results in a system that isn’t comfortable for me to hold.

I took my a65 + 18-250 on last year’s family vacation (zoo and a couple of theme parks) and found that the size wasn’t bad given the flexibility that the package offered (great range, quick AF, burst shooting, GPS, etc). My wife also didn’t mind using it when my daughter and I were on a ride or something.

me and you

“you and me.”

Alpha menu system. Would be nice if the little cameras behaved somewhat similarly to the bigger ones. I’d still have both if they did.

Because zooming and shooting with one hand can be handy… even for professionals, in certain situations.

I agree on the big lenses part… The whole point in NEX is for it to be compact, which in turn means shooting with pancakes sized lenses. Whats the point in a NEX with its huge 18-200 lens? It defeats the whole point of a NEX camera and makes it not as comfortable as say even A33/A35/A37/A55, which have the smallest body out of all Alpha SLTs.
I find A57/A65 to be perfect in size, with A77 approaching “too big”.

Cool that Sony have etched ‘SonyAlphaRumours’ on the top of them.

how about instead of putting out body after body and replacing the 18-200 lens every year or blurring yet more prime focal lengths with similar new lenses they start doing unique focal lengths and creating the lenses they are still missing from the lineup?!

We NEED a 70-300 (or 400 if possible) ASAP!
We need a decent 18-105mm type lens (like the Canon and Nikon SLR lenses)
85mm (ish) macro?!

Or how about just some actually wide aperture lenses?! You can’t go round bragging about a system with just 2 wide-aperture lenses available after 3 years!

Lenses create the system, not the bodies! We have the bodies already!!!!

WTH is trolling and taking sarcastic piss on people here to have a laugh. I feel sorry for him.

even the original nex-5 has it, i don’t see why the newer 3n won’t have it?

I just had to ask you if you got the name from Opeth?

It is difficult to find a good replacement of WordPress. Simple CAPTCHA is another option.

Does anyone know if it will have the Smile Shutter feature?

All too often I forget to take the portrait shot when the model is smiling.

This is going to be a deal breaker for me!

Totally sold on the zoom lever!!!

Sony shut up and take my hard earned money already!

As a photographer who is looking for some PROFESSIONAL equipment to learn, this is a must buy for my Facebook cat photography fetish!

By using the same sensor as last generation, we can expect lower prices, if not, then Sony is playing with their user base and potential buyers.

So, looking at this, we can confirm Sony wouldn’t offer their accesories for the NEX-3N, even the larger flash unit. This means either, they’re going to drop a little more the introduction price for this camera or they don’t have a clue what to do for a new model. Hope that zoom lever doesn’t come for higher end models unless you can customize it and set it to change aperture or shutter speed or something like that.

Personally I found NEX-F3 to be not exactly pretty, but the grip was more important to me than the looks. NEX-3N is a small step backwards IMHO.
I dont get the infatuation with designing the smallest mirrorless body (like the GF3/5 and EPL/EPM).
With exchangable lenses you need a bit of grip, and the lens plus body does not become much bigger when there is a bit of grip.
And …. a grip makes room for a bigger battery.

Just seems like more of the same — but a little different. No big deal until they announce another — cheaper — 24mp sensor camera like the c3 but with a 24mp sensor and a good remote shutter release control.

The code for this site is hardly bug free. I get the odd message that disappears into the aether, too. It’s annoying when it’s a long one.

What did you miss?

Andrea, is there some reason why some comments get posted while others don’t? On some threads I can post once just fine, and then if I try to reply to someone it never posts.

I like how the have gone a little back to the old C3 design. I didnn’t like the appearance of the F3.

The zoom lever is most welcome especially if it is programmable, then suddenly you have to more button.

I hope Sony will give the menu and interfacing a good overhaul.

might engage Clear Image Zoom (TM)!

Looking at the elevated ridge above the LCD, this version seems also a little bit bigger than the previous C3, though I hope not.

Just sharing my opinion regarding the NEX 3/5 cameras. I really wish Sony keeps these models lean, neat and modular, just as they were from the beginning. Even if it means you will have to add flash and EVF on your own. The NEX 6/7 should be the ones that have this onboard. That ought to be the differentiation within the NEX family.

are we even gonna see a next gen sensor in a NEX this year???? please say yes:)

This is the cheapest NEX, what do you expect?

it is the future of P&S.

Ugly

wow! zoom lever!
