Top 3

My top 3: Sony NEX-5; the first Sony mirrorless camera, truly vintage (came out in 2010), forged a new path, but still quirky (has loud shutter) yet very usable today. Sanyo Xacti CG10; officially a “dual camera” because it’s a combo stills and video camera, 12 MP stills and 720p video. Fun pistol g

Received my a6700 and kit lens. More than a little annoyed.

The Sony a6700 is huge in my small female hands having come from the nex 5n, a6000 and ZV-1 lol. I do still have my Nikon DSLR cameras and lenses so of course it's smaller than that, but I'm still amused when people talk about the a6700 and Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 lens ( which I also have ) as " a very c

Is there anyone who has used both Sony and Olympus cameras?

My Sony NEX-5 doesn’t seem bigger than my Olympus, but that’s an old Sony with no viewfinder.

Kamera für Neulinge

Die Sony NEX Kameras sind zumindest ein guten einstieg. Da kann man auch mit E-Mounts Objektiven austauschen. Am besten die NEX 5, NEX 6 oder NEX 7. Je nach Preise die man findet, kann man bestimmt schnäppchen finden. Für Objektiv kann man auch mit Alten Manuellen Objektiven aussuchen. Für das brauc

How can I make shoot more interesting photos?

The Sony NEX 5 is good for shy people. It hangs around your neck and the screen flips up, but it doesn't have a viewfinder. I generally liked them

Please help a amateur out

I love my DSLRs, but in OP's shoes, I would be considering an older Sony mirrorless, like a Nex 5 or A3000. They're pretty tiny for interchangeable lens cams, have APS-Csize sensors and the lenses can be had fairly cheap if you're patient.

Finally want to by MY very first DSLR, but feeling stuck between the K1 I/II, K3 III or something entirely different

Tengo una Sony NEX 5T y una Pentax K7. La Sony vino con un lente zoom bien compacto, así que todo cabe en el bolsillo de un abrigo, por ejemplo. La Pentax ocupa más espacio y pesa más. La Sony transmite su propio Wi-Fi, y pude controlarla con mi smartphone. La Pentax no puede hacer eso, pero creo qu
