Good point. Generally I meant selling with a good volume to make a sufficient profit for the company in comparison to their sales targets. (Only they would have that data.) But in small niche...

After you've read the article and if you want to erase that, just read it backwards then delete. It will make the badness go away.

I also have a NEX-3 and it doesn't hold a candle to my 5R. Especially when it comes to the hybrid PDAF sensor and the extra photographic capabilities which that presents. One of these is...

Well yes, it seems that Sony has chosen the wiser path to ignore this niche for the time being. I just wanted to speculate about this.

Do you remember the Minolta 85mm 'VariSoft' lens?

But Fuji did precisely that (X100 and X100s) and they are selling well.

That's OK, some of the members don't even realize that new NEX cameras have PDAF. Sometimes I wonder what % of posters have actually used the camera they are posting about.

Have tried either sports mode with a PDAF-enabled camera, yourself? I spent part of Monday afternoon doing some trials, photographing on-rushing traffic on a highway. It went very well and every...

You could try taking your 30 to a store and trying it out on a NEX 6 to see if it focuses better.

There has been TONNES of stuff written on this and it's in the archives. However: ... in GOOGLE it is...

Are the Series 2 lenses the same or different, internally? Although the final group-guess, after numerous debates, finally concluded that they must be the same, there is still no evidence one way...

Rich, although one is an in-camera EVF (the 6) and the other is removable (the 5R,) they are the same, internally. I can't speak to the 7.

I didn't say Speed mode.

You don't need the EA2 for sports. Just use the Scene>Sports setting on a hybrid PDAF-enabled NEX (6 or 5R) You have made the same mistake before and you seem blithely unaware that some NEX models...

I suspect that Sony employed a cheap-to-build EVF for the NEX 5R and 6 models. Much better was certainly an option for them. My Lumix G1 has a much better EVF.  Bigger, brighter, with easier to...

Trollman, you said, "It is a great post, because I am sure the message is: read this post, and THEN get a Nex." But what would you got the NEX first and then read the post?Return it?

Yes, major changes afoot over at Sony. SLT cameras rumored to be cancelled. FF hybrid mirrorless cameras that probably RESEMBLE the SLT's to take their place. In the middle of all that, lies the FF...

A Sony fixed-lens rangefinder-styled APSC camera with a zoom lens would be like a Fuji X100S. I'm sure Sony could make it a lot smaller. Not a bad idea.

What are you saying? Did you not know that NEX 6 and 5R have PDAF?

- from the glass-half-full perspective, The NEX's are poised to dispute the years-old argument that mirrorless cameras are no good for high-speed sports-shooting. Hybrid PDAF seems to make the...
