So I've found myself looking at all the nex-5n images and thinking "A small camera like that could probably do everything I NEED a camera to do" and "If my a850 was smaller I WOULD take it with me more often".Dangerous thoughts I know.
I would love to hear what some of you with the nex-5n think of the files relative to the full frame sonys. For reference: the majority of my photos are landscape/scenic; I like lots of DOF with my wides and like to isolate subjects with my mid to longer lenses. I'm currently using the Sony 20/2.8, 50/1.4, and Tamron 90 Macro - these lenses are light enough and provide sufficient sharpness and the look I like. Smoothness in the gradients and the feel of an image are more important to me than technical perfection. A reasonable cross section of my work and style is on my website (linked in signature) and should provide some insight into the type of images I take and how I process them.
I would probably go with zeiss zm lenses (18/4, 35/2, 50/1.5 to start? maybe the 25/2.8?) if I were to go the nex route as they seem to have focal lengths and apertures that I would use and meet my desire to be smaller and lighter. So am I thinking that the nex is better than it is? or do those with it think it could reasonably work for my needs?
Thanks!
Simon
