@MissionMetallica Yes there is digital zoom. you go into menu settings and press digital zoom on the NEX 5. then you have zoom with the 16mm F2.8 its 10x zoom. I dont know why nobody knows about this...I havent bought any additional lenses. just have my 16mm and i zoom 10x easily and it looks pretty good. It helps to read the manuals that come with the cameras, but i understand youtube is the average manual these days. NEX 5 HAS BUILT IN ZOOM. TRY IT WITH YOUR 16mm or PRIMES. ;)
Was this video 'enhanced' in any way with software? It was filmed with the stock 18-55, but the film quality looks really good ('film like'). I also have the NEX-5 with the 18-55, but my 'raw' videos look nothing like this. What's the best way to shoot videos? Is it in manual mode and adjusting settings for each scene?
i have nex 5 and most of my videos are with nex 5 18-55mm lenses,, i want to buy the 16mm , someone can advice me if the16mm nex lens will couse any distortion when i make videos or pictures???
You know your reviews could be better if you did a side by side comparison with the stock lens vs the 16mm. I don't understand people that don't compare the lens. The same info that you gave is nothing different then what Sony has on their site. Rookies
@mohd4325 When you use the 16mm lens, there's not any optical or digital zoom :) I have both the 16mm and 18-55mm, and I use the 18-55mm all the time, I really like to have zoom

Is that camera on the side the nex 7? Looks damn similar to the rumors

Thinking to buy NEX3 or 5 for small scale video production (5 min clips). Do you recommend it for that? Does it have 720p in 30/60fps? Thanks!
