HI Uwe>Surely you could use the LCD?
At this light yes, but in California sun?
>Still, catch me putting the NEX 5n on a tripod!
You better do as much as possible for video (this is a video head ). And even more so for tests.
HI TomI have one for the xz1 and EP2 and allways felt the form factor be pretty ugly, also making a small camera difficult to pack, and myself allways afraid that I would brake this thing off one day.
How do you feel about the Nex viewfinder. Does it feel "external" or "integrated"?
Well, darn it, you're right, Uwe. The tilt on my newly arrived EVF is nice and puts the camera in a nice position while even hand holding.Actually I think that once you like to use a swivel EVF you will miss it.
Actually if I wanted only to use the LCD I would need to ware glasses. Also with the EVF I can much better frame.
Well, darn it, you're right, Uwe. The tilt on my newly arrived EVF is nice and puts the camera in a nice position while even hand holding.
Yeah, I should have expected as much, seeing as I actually have the 45 degree finder that you're speaking of for my Hasselblads. Between the tilt LCD and tilt EVF, the NEX-5N really has the digital/future equivalents of both the Hassie waist level finder and 45 degree prism. Pretty cool. :thumbup:That's why the 45 degree viewfinder in Hasselblads were so popular. It is a very natural position to slightly lean the head. BTW, it makes some uneasy sitters feel more comfortable to be photographed this way.
