[devilmaycry383]

I'm getting my Sony NEX-5 sometime next month ^^ does it shoot full 1080p video? what lens to go for the 16mm or the 18mm

[dinnerandashow]

Best freaken compact camera I ever bought.

Sony, please make a prime and powerful zoom lens for this.

[dramagrl1996]

i just got the red nex 3 i love it but i need to learn how to use it haha

[Yumeria88]

i bought the red nex 3 and its pretty good

[GabrielNEX7]

Dreaming of the NEX-7, it will be perfect!

[nononame2008]

good !

[COLDBEARD]

What is going to be the point of photography after this releases?

Take a picture of a shit you took this morning with this camera and you get a MASTERPIECE.

Honestly, photography has become a hobby where, the more money you throw at it, the more likely your pictures are to be amazing, simply because of the quality of the technology you paid for.

[AMonteverdi]

@COLDBEARD thats no bad thats amazing

[AWarlordsView]

Wow that red nex-3 is so sexy I want it !!!

[ugaldeee396]

It seeems like a good camera for beginners, maybe

[candywrapp]

Can you manually change the depth of field??

[toocoolforu]

I hope they'll release an m-mount and canon mount adapter for this new e-mount.

Because otherwise it's pretty useless.

[Ultimateracepro]

You can buy canon mount adapter. I sold my 550D to buy NEX 5. I bought a 550D again, but I think I also will buy a NEX 5 or NEX 3.

[toocoolforu]

@Ultimateracepro I heard that it isn't compatible for m-mount lenses (the best, leica lenses) because the distance between the sensor and the glass would be too long.

[jerseyrbkid]

how much is this gonna be in north america?

[HatroVille]

80,000 yen and 65,000 yen

Converstion USA? how much

[amicusnemini]

@HatroVille google it cunt

[ladicius777]

@HatroVille $872.41=80,000 yen

[toocoolforu]

@HatroVille 800$ ugh.

[HatroVille]

@toocoolforu

man that's expensive. Hmm, I guess all I'm paying here is for compactness which I don't need.

I guess I'll be buying Canon 550D.

[KingGillyMan]

[threefourninetyfour]

[chikotube]

FINALLY MIRRORLESS

[kmarinas86]

Mirrorless SLR = oxymoron

Proper term = Mirrorless interchangeable lens camera

"A mirrorless interchangeable lens camera (also EVIL camera, Micro, or Digital Interchangeable Lens system camera) is an emerging class of digital cameras, intermediate between compact digital cameras and digital single-lens reflex cameras (DSLRs)."

"As of 2010, the market is immature and rapidly developing, so terminology, designs, and the market have not stabilized." - Wikipedia

[danopd]

Why is this an SLR? It's a digital compact with an interchangeable lens mount.

[aznflayva]

do want!!!

[poopaholictar]

mmmmm kay seems like a standard digital camera to me

[kamevalley1510]

hum cool

[pokethekat1]

It's NOT suppose to be an SLR. It's marketed towards non professionals (mom & dad) who want a better point and shoot. Don't think, just point and shoot. It's looks awesome.

[g00dsir555]

@pokethekat1 lol no its not and youre gay+retarded. slr sensor and interchangeable lenses are geared towards mom and dad, ahha stop huffing paint

[ar4216]

@g00dsir555

He's right. The folks from Sony who designed this have said as much.

"this camera is aimed at the current DSC (digital still camera) step-up users"

If you want a more sophisticated camera Sony recommends a DSLR:

"Today's A mount Alpha range is targeting creative people that are using the manual settings who want a variety of lenses and other system accessories. We're going to continue to make this high end type of camera on top of the NEX range."

[pewse]

Just another expensive toy.

[mate2000]

SLR = Single Lens Reflex. There is no viewfinder in this camera, thus no mirror, thus no reflex, thus it is not an SLR, just another lame point-and shoot camera with a larger sensor. Imagine the distortion the lens causes when the APS-C sensor is THAT close to the freaking rear element! Another of SONY-s consumer toys...

[RyokoHametsu]

i want the red one! wait no the gray! no the red!

ahhh both!!!

[LikeAVideo]

@RyokoHametsu You mean the color...get the RED One.....

[RyokoHametsu]

[ViewedVideo]
