Sony 5n also has a great touchscreen to focus. Tap area you want in focus and it automatically adjusts. http://snapsort.com/compare/Sony-NEX-5N-vs-Sony_Alpha_NEX-5 Above will give you a good comparison. Any questions bout the 5n i'll try and answer. I got mine for £600 with 2 lenes and £50...

I've just bought the nex 5n and although I'm new to 'proper' photography the pictures it takes are amazing. Been testing it loads in really low light and the picture quality is just bloody brilliant. :-) The adaptor for the camera is about £200, but there are other adaptors available. Nex7...

Well I now have Sony nex 5n in hand. Had a play with it inside taking pictures of daughter and wife with little light and its great. Got daughter spinning around and it was brilliant. Compared it to the Panasonic tz and it light years better. No lag when pressing shutter and no blur. Clear...

Cheers for the comments, but what about the lens options? Tried the Sony and like it - didnt like the viewfinder on DSLR's and the Sony focused as quick as the Canon 550d when tried in the shop (im sure it may be marginally quicker, but i cant tell).

So now i have made my mind up on the Nex 5N..... do i buy it with the 16mm 1.8 or the 55-210mm zoom. And anyone bought from UK Digital

Hi Anthony, Apologies for me probably being a bit dumb here, the Nex 7 is way over budget and looking at the spec's i cannot see why i would go with it? Same sensor (higher resolution though), shutter speed, screen, worse ISO. The extra money gets me a pop up flash (although the 5N has...

HoppyUK - Sony NEX 5N vs Canon 550d AllanM - will be looking at the Panasonics tomorrow to compare. After playing with the Canon for 15 minutes (camera to eye up and down repeatedly) i started to notice the weight. I appreciate i would get used to it, but dont know if i want to. Not sure i...

I played again with the 2 cameras (a different shop this time) and i tried the moving object test. The Sony tracked and kept focus as good as the Canon. I discussed this in the shop and the guy said (quoting from somewhere): Object Tracking AF locks onto a specified object and maintains focus...

Bump

But want lenses should i choose? Can't get my head around the different lenses - being a compact user who has 16x zoom at his disposal (albeit with not so good IQ). :bonk: Most cameras come with 18mm-55mm lens, which ive played with and it doesn't give me much zoom. The 'packages' tend to...

So I went through the lenses I think I'd need or want. Can you tell me which ones I really need? Family, children, holiday maybe. 50mm f/1.8 Telephoto Lens 55-210mm Zoom Lens Model 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 Zoom Lens 16mm f/2.8 Wide-Angle Lens Bearing in mind some of these are very pricey. :-)

I tried Nikon as well. The DSLR with my glasses on made it difficult to use. I kept having to adjust my glasses and lot hitting my face! I'm sure is get used to it. The guys in the shop turned me off the nikon j as he said the Sony out performed it. Although like the preshot shot thingy. No...

After 3 hours trying the Canon and the Sony I'm now more confused. I loved the Sony style, weight and 'metallic' lens. Clear screen was brilliant. Canon seemed to be more difficult for me to use, but that's because I wear glasses and DSLR restricted with the view finde-although may get used to...

Af being auto focus? Some of the reviews say its excellent. But is that down to camera and lens combos. Or am I missing the point-all new to me so be gently.

How confusing is choosing a camera. I've read various reviews all over the web and the Sony seems to get better scores and reviews than the Canon. Think I'll go out tomorrow and try them both. What will the Sony not do that the Canon can? In lay man's terms.
