LOVE THE SONY NEX-7

I sold my Canon 5D Mark iii (my dream camera) and bout the NEX-7 along with the 10-18mm lens and the 55-210mm lens. I am getting the same quality end results as I did with my Canon in a MUCH SMALLER & LIGHTER PACKAGE! After just 2 weeks I have shot 2500 exposures wit it.
Pros:
  • Easy To Use
  • Good Image Quality
  • Good Image Stabilization
  • High ISO Performance
  • Large Clear LCD
  • Small light
Cons:
  • Short Battery Life

Wrong video system for my camera

I got this one with the new Zeiss lens SEL1670z. I found the flashlight will never "automatically" pop up. You have to make the choice first before the shot. It is good or bad, depends.

Great camera!

I still fun of Nikon, but have mentioned that last year I more and more often change my Nikon D700/D3/D3X/D3S to Sony N5/C3. Main reason - compact size and weight of NEX system and very good quality of pictures. And now I have bought N7 and decided that will not buy D4 or D800.
Pros:
  • I still fun of Nikon, but have mentioned that last year I more and more often change my Nikon D700/D3/D3X/D3S to Sony N5/C3

Sony has been a little slow to bring out lenses which can stand up to the quality of the sensor in this camera. But with good glass from any manufacture via adapters I have managed to get some of the best images I have ever taken. I changed over from a Canon 5D mark II and prime lenses. Apart...
