JAjajajaja, not seeing myself taking pictures of me against a statue, at least in this life time. But now to be honest its a nice cam for anyone who will use it for creativity work, or just for fun, even though the video make me laugh quite a bit. Sony is targeting young people with this cam, or maybe just getting "modern". Hey and i have anything against any kinds of people. This demographic "status" you mention is nothing but Imperial and colonialist way of thinking, to engage some people on not having criteria, We are all the same in spite of every differences.

Apart from that the camera apps is nice step to somewhere.

If they open up development, my bet is that the first app would be a beach perv bubbling appis

Have you guys seen the promotional video, its a G/aY Cam... That promotional is just no good for marketing purposes, well at least for thinking people.

@duartix

It is NEX topic :-)

@Oscillian Expect the 5R to have moire and alaising and you will avoid dissapointment. :-)

Yep! Give us some video examples and see if Sony's improved something :) The RX100 is virtually free from artifacts, except macroblocking and some CA that a decent bitrate or good lens wouldn't cure, so why shouldn't they succeed with the NEX too? Exciting!

@stonebat:

I have about a dozen of legacy lenses that I could easily mount on NEX. I've always had issues with MF on those lenses and Sony seems to be just the right tool with peaking and the high resolution EVF. The electronic first curtain is the proverbial shot in the aircraft carrier too, because I can't shake the shutter blur at anything slower than 1/200s on my 300mms on the GH2, no matter how solid the tripod is. Those are the times when I wish I had an OM-D, because IBIS is very effective in these situations. And then I'm a frequent stacker for which the NEX seems a natural born killer with the apps. When I look at the body, it's all screaming NEX back at me..., but when I start to look at the glass, that's when m43 starts to shine, because I'm sure I'd miss the m43 extreme telephoto range and I also don't see how I could replace/sell the 7.5mm Samyang (not that I want to, anyway).

Fortunately the GH3 seems to be on the right track to address some of those issues and to be quite honest, I've been bitten by the video bug and that's where all manufacturers except for Panasonic just fall to their knees... Maybe I can buy it, one year from now! :) And a cheaper OM-DL (light) to act as second body for photographic purposes.

The things that are keeping me from changing now is: recording time limit, overheating, moire and aliasing. I love the focus peaking, APS-C sensor and higher res screen on the Sonys though, but I can't afford one of these going blank during a wedding.
