Hey Matt, You do realise that if you get one of these cameras, you''ll be a Pro who shoots with Sony. You only said a few weeks ago, you didn't know of any Pro's that shoot with Sony, but seriously, I have the same dilemma, but I also have the answer. We need a Nex 6 that has the 7's body, control and features, but with the 16mp sensor. Please Lean on Sony to do this Matt.

@swoody42 LOL... yes, I'll be a Pro who shoots with Sony. :-) Apparently I stand corrected though. Quite a few viewers have posted about lots of Pros who shoot Sony. I agree with you though... an NEX-6 sounds great! :-)

Hey Matt I'm gonna check out your work! I'm an educator for an elementary school here in Texas and love it! My kids love the "Diary of a Wimpy Kid." It's the series they fight over lol. Anyway just wanted to say love your videos and I'm excited to see the new Sony A77 I got twin D7000 and I'm like you I shoot weddings and I'm waiting for the D400 ::P

@FlamingShutter - Thanks! Please let me know how your kids like the "Diary of a Nerd King." I'm considering the Sony a77, but like you, I think I'm going to wait to see what the Nikon D400.

The 5N best small camera for video?  No. Absolutely not. That would be the Panasonic GH2 without a doubt. Besides, like some above, I want to like this camera. It really has some excellent features like focus peaking, and great sensor. But the native Sony lenses will always be large because the body is so slim, Sony has to essentially put a spacer in the lens so it can focus at infinity. Notice that the 50 1.8 is longer than mostly all other 50's. This is why.

Lenses, lenses, lenses. The Sony NEX-5N just doesn't have any good lenses right now. Shame.

I was thinking about getting one of these but discovered it doesn't have stabilization. There is only one lens that I’ve seen that has it, but not for the focal length I want.

Nice review!

@ArtoftheImage hi, can you give your point on the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX9V, or a vid on it. i might be to late for that, but heard goods things about it, that's why

[PaulRonald]

alright but what about the flash you have to get a stupid addon to have flash on the Nex 5n is`nt that a disappointment?

[fly2dasky]

Boring

[bthemedia]

This is a bad ass camera... I think this is what my buddy was shooting with the other day and it is just unreal... especially the HDR!!

Also check out pro photographer Matthew Jordan Smith just did a CreativeLIVE fashion and beauty photography workshop session.

Can you compare 5n with the new GX1?
