Good morning,
after collecting some experience with the Nex (specially the 5n and 7 lately) I wondered which place this system has taken in your photography.
Where do you see the pluses and minuses for the system, does it replace a bigger camera (dslr) for you, for those using both a dslr (or a Leica M) when do you use the Nex and when other cameras, etc.
I will start with some comments - my plan is to use the Nex mainly for occasions where I want a less obstrusive camera than a dslr but have some flexibility to use a zoom and also for those occasions when I want a camera which does both still and video.
I prefer the larger sensor to m4/3 sensors, but then specially the lenses are considerably bigger than m4/3 AND the AF is slower and harder to control compared to Panasonic M4/3. (Specially in darker light when the Nex increases the AF point size to nearly the full sensor size).
Manual focus works better with the Nex in regards to focus peaking - but also here its not allways super accurate.
It seems that my keeper rate in reagards to focus is ok with the Nex but I get a better rate with my M9 and of course much better rate with a DSLR.
I am still debating with myself if I can "learn" the Nex better so that I might be able to give up my Nikon DSLR (I shoot sports only occasionally) - on the other side I am also not sure if a small dslr can not offer quite a bit better performance with much more lens options (as long as shooting AF).
So for what do you use your NEX and why?
