NEX-5 and NEX-3 ultra compact digital cameras by Sony

[bysabrinart]

i dont know much about cameras. should i get the sony 3 or 5...

[Gsmack1794]

I am thinking about getting an NEX-5 but i cant decide whether to get the NEX-5K or NEX-5H. I mainly shoot urban/architectual style photos with a few still life close ups in between. I'm very into using full manual mode and want to know if its worth to upgrade to the 5H for the extra length. Help me out guys.

[LariiLvMa]

as the name of that song?

[jonnykurz666]

Can i use an sd-card and a memorystick pro dou both at the same time in my nex 3? if i do so, how do i get both in the slot?

[bymacorg]

well i found the best custom BAG for sony NEX 3/5. It has an aluminium frame inside so you can drop it and sit on it :) And on the ouside, looks like a regular small wallet bag. So nooen gonna steal your camera. Check it out at: NEXbag.bymac.org

[agentelectric]

When i select playback in the histrogram mode, i notice that the image starts to blink (in form of white patches) in dark areas & bright areas. I wonder if this is normal. Previously i dont think i encounter this before. If this is normal, are there any way to disable this blinking function? thanks!

[jonnykurz666]

Is the smaller lens better for vids or the 18-55 mm One?

[yin222]

@jonnykurz666 I was told the 16mm is better. I just got a nex which am selling on ebay because I just cant stand silver cameras so I am getting the black one. In the booklet that came with the camera it says the larger lens is suitable for video but for the 16mm it says its optimized for video so that would make it better.

[vegetoe01]

@yin222

Despite the aperture being able to go down to F2.8 on the 16mm, I find the 18-55mm F3.5 lens brighter and better for video.

[fluortablett]

Is this a good camera?

[sheldonlt]

I am planning on asking for this for my birthday as my first DSLR camera, and I would like to know what 3D capabilities it has as it says '3D Ready'

[guerrilla25real]

@sheldonlt It can shoot in 3D panorama mode for viewing on 3D capable TVs.

[thegreenpikmin]

Hey guys, should I get the nex 3 or save up for the 5? I want a small compact Dale camera that can shoot great video and pics. So I wanna ask Qs, 1st, can both cameras connect to a wireless remote, is it worth the upgrade between the two, and would the nex 3 be just fine for hd video for after effects, final cut and etc.

[mrgranturismo121]

@thegreenpikmin nex 3 the nex 5 is only better because it shoots in 1080p video and the grip is bigger but the video on the nex 3 is still hd at 720p so unless you really care about VIDEO qaulity just get the nex 3

[xxDothemonkeyDancexx]

ooh I want this so bad!

but it so expensive :( ...

[88t3mpt4tions]

got the nex3 88 15. I am looking for a fish eye for it, but can't find any online. Tell me if they make that for my model or not. Thanks.

[SONYUK]

@88t3mpt4tions Thanks for your query, you can buy a Sony NEX Fish-eye converter (VCL-ECF1), which has to be attached to the 16mm ‘pancake’ lens (SEL16F28) to increase your field of view. Please be aware the the fish-eye converter is NOT compatible with the standard zoom lens SEL1855.

[88t3mpt4tions]

@SONYUK is there any kind of adapter or something that I can buy so I can use the 88 15 with a fish eye? Thanks!

[AnthonyGoncharov]

Say, me please, what music is playing in this advertisement??? And can i download it???)))

[1109Jr]

that looks so cool , wow i just ordered it yesterday, im so geeked about it!... i've been trying 2 ask people certain things about it.. like with the macro lens.. does anybody know if u need the Sony Alpha LAEA1 Mount Adaptor to use the macro lens..?

It'd be great if someone could answer that for me. but thankz.

-William

[jiten327]

I got mine nex5 today with both 18-55 and 16mm @820 CHF

[jw3319]

I'm so getting it!

[IzyStoned]

I got myself the NEX-3 with the pancake lens...I was wondering ...will there be extra lenses coming out soon? :D

extremely love my NEX

[SonyEurope]

@IzyStoned Thanks for your query, there will indeed! Sony just previewed the prototypes of seven new NEX-compatible E-mount lenses at this year’s Photokina trade show and they are due to be released during 2011 and 2012.

[dcrinz]

@SonyEurope Hey sony may i ask you somthing? Sorry I very poor in cameras. The pancake lens, can it zoom?

[SONYUK]

@dcrinz Hi there, the ‘pancake’ 16mm is a wide angle rather than zoom lens, which means it’s great for landscape photography, getting wide panoramic shots, city landscapes, or even group shots indoors. The zoom lenses start at 18-55mm is a multifunctional lens from wide angle to short telephoto and can cover most of subjects and better for close-up and portraits than the 16mm.

[ah57lb]

What's the name of the song , and is it possible to down load it?

[SonyEurope]

@ah57lb Thanks for your query, as the music is original and was made specifically for this video, it isn’t possible to download.

[lepaters]

this camera can take lens from sony a dslr?

[MrWalterShow]

@lepaters you will need a small addaptor but with that addoptor it will take all the lenses that fit the dslr

[tlabuscagne]

I want to get this camera for the arrival of our first child in a couple of months, and as a general use camera (holiday snaps, family get togethers etc.) and particularly like its ability to take HD video. What lense/lenses do you suggest I get with it? I'm inexperienced when it comes to photography.

[LOVEMiruku]

I want to ask whats the difference between the 16mm F2.8 lens and the 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 lens? Because I'm planning to get the camera but don't know which one to choose. Thanks!!

[SonyEurope]

@LOVEMiruku The 16mm lens is quite thin and sits close to the body of the camera (it is also known as a ‘pancake’ lens). The 18-55mm lens is larger and sticks out of the front of the camera further as it includes an optical zoom, twist the lens and zoom in on your subject without losing any quality. The ‘pancake’ lens is more general purpose and great for shots of family and friends. The 18-55mm is the ideal travel companion, great for capturing open landscapes as well as up close portraits.

[politicoloog]

@LOVEMiruku Also the pancake is a much FASTER lens F2.8<F3.5, Meaning it needs less light for a good picture. Perfect for evening pictures without flash

[Mischor]

@politicoloog

Faster... *Facepalm*

[politicoloog]

@LOVEMiruku The 16 mm lens is also much faster since it catches more light (lower F). Perfect for inside low light family pictures without flash....since you haven't got one

[021679]

@LOVEMiruku yeah, i bought the one with the 16mm lense first and returned it because I wanted the option to zoom. I think you should go with that one unless you will never want to zoom. For a camera that price you may as well get the lense for zooming. If you have the budget...get both lenses.

[Mikenopolis]

@LOVEMiruku @SonyEurope the 16mm lens gets you a TINY bit wider of an angle and better low light performance due to the larger aperture of f/2.8, however you would have to move closer to the subject you are photographing since there is no zoom. I would suggest you start off with the 18-55mm.

[mikulot]

Does this have "vibration issues" just like Sony's Digital Cameras?

[Stormpowner]

whats the name of the song?

[SonyEurope]

@Stormpowner The music is original and was made specifically for this video.

[ah57lb]

@SonyEurope is it possible to down load this song?

[Mikenopolis]

@ah57lb there are ways to pull audio tracks off of YouTube Videos, google it

[Papillonista]

I'm a Canon DSLR fan but I might hav to switch. Hope Nex has good image stability...

[losmasbuscaos]

buenisima la camara y el video con la cancion es buenisiiiimaaa. donde la podemos conseguir la cancion entera??? gracias

[utgfilms]

[Mr3000Spartan]

[ArkinaVo]

[SonyEurope]

[AWarlordsView]

[sxiangmiro]

[SonyEurope]

@sxiangmiro We can now confirm that the NEX cameras were launched in Malaysia on 4th June and will be available to buy this month. The pricing announced is as follows: the NEX-3 starts from RM1,999; and the NEX-5 starts from RM2,499.

[spongebob537]

a few reports on the web regarding the NEX cameras and the VERY FRUSTRATING user interface. Any plans for Sony to update this via a firmware upgrade?

Awaiting your reply Sony!

[Dollaboy667]

Release Date for USA please.

[SonyEurope]

@Dollaboy667 Thanks for your query. The NEX-3 and NEX-5 will be on sale in America from mid June.

[evilthought]

@SonyEurope Please do something. Get these cameras listed on Amazon. Talk to people who can fix that problem

[Groovnstar]

wait i just read about a nex7..google it!

[chocoabuddha]

*droooool* Oh god. Now I'm dying to get this! Can't believe the cheapest package starts at $550!!! Maybe a poor student like me can even purchase one now. :]

[Lubmachine1]

What about release date? When are they available?

Im going for the NEX5 and 18-200 (I think) lens.

[SonyEurope]

@Lubmachine1 Thanks for your query. Please let us know which country you are based in so that we can provide you with the correct dates.

[Lubmachine1]

@SonyEurope

I am in Australia...Land of the Kangaroo and Koalas!!

[SonyEurope]

@Lubmachine1 The NEX-3 and NEX-5 launched in Australia on May 11 and will be available to buy from mid June.

[Lubmachine1]

Im sold......Does anyone have any idea of a street sale date in Australia please.

I want to be one of the first to own one!!!!

[sonyalphamale]

@Lubmachine1 for the nex 3 the prices range from AUD $849-$999 and the nex 5 the prices range from AUD $1199-1699 depending on what kit you get but these prices are from the aus sonystyle site so you can probably get them cheaper from a different camera store

[FmBm2]

Do you know what the zoom length is without any lens attached?

[SonyEurope]

@FmBm2

The NEX-3 and NEX-5 come with optical rather than digital zoom. There are three optical lenses to choose from 16mm, 18-55mm and 18 -200mm with more to come.

[SonyEurope]

@FmBm2

The NEX-3 and NEX-5 come with optical rather than digital zoom. There are three optical lenses to choose from for now 16mm, 18-55mm and 18 -200mm.

[bobo10hk]

hi this new baby is fabulous! totally in love with it.

but i wonder without an inbuild flash, is it hard to take clear pictures at night or indoor? sorry for the stupid question but i'm new to this :P

[bobo10hk]

[virtuehero]

yah, the music really fits the video

[sirbargearse]

Sorry Canon... but I think I've just found my next camera! I'm in love!

[hsin54]

Anyone know who sang this song?

[kockgunner]

How did that guy pull out that giant lens from his back pocket lol.

[rithoo56]

Micro fourthirds better watchout

[coolyuan]

awesome..btw anyone know what is this song? thanks :)

[GadgetTrish]

This is going to be the product of the year.

[havro]

I love it!

[FirstImages]

Hi!, When will the nex-5 ship in the UK and Europe? I would be very keen to know accurate dates as I have to fly away to Greenland. Thanks!

[spongebob537]

when he changed the lens did he take the 18-55mm out of his back pocket or from the ladies backpack!!?? must of been a tight squeeze in his back pocket! and he's gone and stuffed the pancake lens in his front pocket, i hope he put a lens cap on? This could well be a micro four thirds killer but what are Sonys plans for other lenses...55-200? macro? then i might be tempted.

[Mikenopolis]

@spongebob537 only option as of NOV-2010 is an 18-200.....at $700. sold out. ebay prices are higher. Firmware v.3 finally allows the use of A-mount with focus motors to auto focus. however the E to A Mount cost $200

[mrgranturismo121]

@spongebob537 they have an 18-200 lens out

[bradclarkuk]

I think im in Love. I haven't considered Sony for cameras for a long time and use Canon SLR's but this has brought me straight back to Sony..... I may even sell my Canon 500D to pay for it! Hope the range of accessories grows! When can we expect it in the UK?

[SonyEurope]

@bradclarkuk

Hi there! NEX will be available in-store from the beginning of June. But you can pre-order right now via the Sony UK website.

[Lubmachine1]

@bradclarkuk

[ar4216]

The camera body looks too small for the lenses. They need to improve the ergonomics- something more like a GF1 but with more of a grip. And oh yeah, it also needs a viewfinder so you can put it up to your eye.

[zerosumgamez]

I always like Sony products, but this is too much, they can only create wants, not needs.

[pervertsalmanac]

I plan on getting one and shooting tons of ass. Yeah...

[TheMrhatpino]

I'M GONNA BUY 1 but i got 1 question in this vid he puts on a second lens but do you get it with the camera?

[SonyEurope]

@TheMrhatpino Thanks for your comment. Just to clarify, the cameras come with a standard 'pancake' lens and the zoom lens is an additional purchase

[SonyEurope]

@TheMrhatpino Just to confirm, the included lenses will depend upon the package you choose. Please see your local Sony Style site for details of available packages

[abcd321839955]

always running free... :D ...i love my sony!!

[dreamfordream]

what is this song called?

[wolfwihj]

Does anyone have the information about the music?

[SonyEurope]

@wolfwihj Thanks for your comment. The music track is original and was made specifically for this video.

[dreamfordream]

@SonyEurope may i know who is the singer and the name of the song? and will it be released on an album?

[wolfwihj]

@SonyEurope ok i got it. this song is awesome! u have to publish this song.

[FuzzyLogicxxx]

@SonyEurope What's the name of the band / performer. Must be more songs / music from her.

Sony BMG should give her a contract ;p

[htsea]

cam so small, lens so big (other than the pancake), egornomically it's a joke. Imagine putting a 300mm on it, you'll be more like holding the lens than the camera. With the pancake this cam looks cool and is undoubtedly useful, but still, I'd just get a regular DSLR.

[tbcass]

@htsea While I agree that I'd rather have a DSLR I disagree that Ergonomically it's a joke. Just hold on to the lens The same as you do with a telephoto on a DSLR.

[LTF85199]

compare it to a Nikon D90, D90 will look prehistoric

[qincheyne]

smart and small

[95redtegls]

I want one

[jimmyfelix8005]

Ohh...... I'm loving it.!

[discovery531]

what is it at the end of this clip??  Those lenses WERE NOT support AF in this kind of NEX adaptor! All my alpha mount lenses useless in NEX system...

[tbcass]

@discovery531 Not useless. I have no problem with manual focus. They are coming out with an 18-200 NEX mount.

[jackytiao]

damn i like it

[silverstorm848]

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!

Not too impressed with Sony compact cameras, their DSLR's are OK after using Minolta tech, but this is just... did I say it already?... Awesome!!

[adai69]

good sony~!

[cuhiep]

Thích cái cảnh anh kia lôi ống kính từ trong túi quần ra. Thật gọn nhẹ.

Awesome ........ i want it toooo
