Best Camera of 2012: Sony you should learn for this!!!

Depends really how you look at it I guess.

I was using m4/3 and then realised I needed a larger sensor to go with the MF legacy lenses to pull out as much as possible in the detail area. Hence the 7 without added glass in the adaptors.

I think if I was into native lenses I would still go NEX and that comes down to one thing really, the lenses that I would use are already there. Every day shooting and I would be very happy with the 16-50 and the 50-210.

If I wanted larger focal length and faster AF lenses, then I would add the adaptor to take the Sony DSLR lenses like Jack, Dirk and a few others in here. Amazing lenses and variety.

The advantage even using that adaptor is easy, its still the size of the sensor inside the box to go with it. Add a Raynox to the 55-210 and you have a small macro setup, very small for the ratio you get.

IBIS and OIS just doesn't do it for me, I shoot at high shutter speeds for birds and use flash for macro, so no issue and yet, a lot of the m4/3 users tell me I need it for legacy glass. I would sooner have focus peaking any day, I have trouble shooting without it to be honest.

So its all about what you want really and thank goodness we are all different.

All the best and good points mate.

Danny.
