How much better are they? I have a NEX-5n and I would say there is bugger-all difference, AF isn't even that different.

@ZAnton - None of those are mirrorless lenses. I use my Tokina 11-16mm f2.8 on my NEX but that thing is HUGE on there and completely defeats the purpose of mirrorless.

Some people seem to want...

Because this lens is designed for a MIRRORLESS, which means it isn't and never will be a DSLR... Even completely ignoring the flange distance.

Different things for different people. They all have their pros and cons - I hated the M, but somehow bought one and now I love it. My m43's and NEX stays at home and my M is in my bag with me...

Well the Canon has longer reach and range. The Canon is also quite a lot smaller and nearly half the price and it loses 1 stop at the much longer end than the Sony. I own both systems (and m43's),...

They mention the Nikon is smaller still.

Presumably, like all new systems they will review the initial offering s of lenses at the same time. Also, things that aren't good need to be reviewed as well, there needs to be benchmarks of the...

Erm, looks pretty tiny to me. Wanna compare to Sony's 10-18mm?

Yeah they do in their pro cameras with EVF such as C300.

This one has IS, the EF-S version doesn't and costs a bomb more.

@ Mike00000 - Erm RX100 is not UWA. End of story. I have both and would happily pay $400 for an IS UWA for the M.

@ Plastik - Same lens for E-Mount, yeah for about $800, so twice the price.

I...

This is an UWA. f2.8 is the fastest you'll get in this category usually for a prime (Zeiss or Fuji). In mirrorless f4 is the fastest for a zoom (Pana 7-14mm and Sony 10-18mm) so only 1 stop behind...

I have one and it was a steal. The lenses thus far have been excellent and well priced. I see nothing really wrong with this system and I don't even like Canon.

I currently own and shoot:

Sony...

WOW! Just about all of those things are already available in one way or another.

@ areichow - exactly. This is complete non-news, just hype and waffle.

@areichow - The E-PM2 is far far more configurable than the NEX-3n. I own both systems and the difference is very very stark. The E-PM2 is easily the better camera of the two... But the NEX does...

@combatmedic870 - Yeah true, sorry I was thinking about the AF system differences, but wasn't thinking about them when comparing sensors. Still, none of the Olympus' have on sensor PDAF.

@Timbits - Goes to show the silly levels of hype around the OM-D and any mention of a camera having 'the OM-D sensor' is treated like it is on another plane.... At any rate, back in reality, the 3n...

@ Marike6 - Well I outlined a number of them. I make the comparison as I now own an E-PM2 after recently realising how cool it actually is after dismissing it as the crappy entry model, to replace...

That just makes no sense?! Are you saying Sony's 16MP sensor is inferior? To what? The 24MP in the NEX-7? The one that is universally panned as not being as good as the 16MP? I honestly don't know...
