It should be the same as the 5N, which is considerably better than the 5 due to the electronic first curtain shutter. All you hear now is the sound of the mechanical curtain closing (as opposed to opening AND closing). The sound seems to be dampened some as well.How loud was the shutter? I haven't been too interested in a NEX until this camera, but a friend with a NEX-5 told me the only thing he didn't like about it was the loud shutter.
The shutter is (slightly) quieter than the NEX-3&5. It's still louder than most M4/3 cameras and the X100, but much quieter than a traditional DSLR.How loud was the shutter?

Well Carlos - there are truths in the world, and one of them is that dealers don't seem to know about deliveries! (and reps aren't much better)I just got some bad news from my dealer. He just spoke to his Sony rep and the NEX-7 will be shipped in November, but the Zeiss 24mm f/1.8 has been pushed back to December. I guess I will just have to be patient...
There are lens adapters for M lenses but they are all third party. Nothing made by Sony.Does the lens adaptor for the Nex-7, include one for Leica "M" lenses?
Jono, I think you might change your mind once you receive the hawk's helicoidI have the metabones one, seems okay, and it's probably the most recommended.
I have mine sitting here on my desk waiting for the 7.Jono, I think you might change your mind once you receive the hawk's helicoid
Well, you may easily be right . . mind you, at the moment I don't have a camera to put an adapter on (5n has gone back to hong kong and the 7 hasn't arrived!)Jono, I think you might change your mind once you receive the hawk's helicoid
Not trying to be too negative as I also have a lens extender, the Leica OUFRO, for enabling M lenses to focus closer. Most M lenses, were designed to give optimal image quality within the designed focus range. A lens with a minimum focus distance of .7 meters will continue image degradation shorter than .7 meters with an extension. The only M lens I am aware of that is optimized for closer than infinity is the 90mm M macro. If one is looking for closer focusing with a M mount lens, the extenders like the hawks and OUFRO will work, but if one wanted to retain IQ at close focusing with a EVF/LCD Sony camera then why not look at a SLR macro lens with adapter?Jono, I think you might change your mind once you receive the hawk's helicoid
