Picked up the Sony NEX-5

Teshi · 06-18-2010, 03:58 AM

Ok so I have read some reviews already and its not the nicest looking EVIL out there but damn does it pack a punch! Today, I bought the NEX-5K (18-55 OSS kit lens). Going to serve as a everyday body/combo and slowly move towards building up some nice Zeiss behind it.

So far, IQ has not been a let down at all! Nicely sharp overall and only seems to be a nit pick if you want to pixel peep so in that respect, very happy.

Spot metering, flexible AF points, thats me sorted!

Quick image for the day

And a quick video trying out a bit of MF to see if there was any issues with barrel noise

So far so good. Only gripe I have spotted, battery life seems a bit short. Maybe too much play time.

For now, I got a side my side comparison vs the Canon 85 1.8

Full review should be complete after this weekend is over.

I am in Taipei and I just ordered mine, getting it soon!

Finally I can put my 5D2 down on my casual outings... It's really too damn heavy to strap around my neck 24/7

NEX-5 ftw

Different ballgame with the NEX. I'm running with a standard APS-C sized sensor. Going to try getting my hands on their camcorder version now
