Welcome to photography, it's a great hobby, and you will learn about the basics in no time ! No shame in starting with a cell phone camera; sooner than you think , you will have gathered some...

No, you didn't. You were talking nonsense, being uninformed as usual .

The moment anyone comes out with a camera, that has the size of a Nex, but also : - Fully articulated screen; it doesn't have that, discussion over.  - A sensor of Nex quality, with a 24MP model...

It's not a solution, period . This is an amateur forum, with few members who are familiar with the requirements for using a camera  efficiently . Hence, susggestions like this one come up . The...

Paragraphs .

Sorry mate, but that is a bit silly, even if your Nex model has an AF/MF switch . Many times, one will not remember that AF is disabled, not notice a slight blur on the display or VF, and happily...

Well, the whole point of Raid 1 is to write all data to two seperate harddrives at the same time - in case one failes, you have all data still availble on the second drive in the array .

Seperate...

There are several of those, by RRS, Hejnar and Sunwayfoto etc . .

The R1 lens was very good, I used to have one even after I got my first Nex . The sensor is really bad, though, by today's standards, so you can't really compare the lens quality with that of a Nex...

You don't need an 'eye' to use a prime, and pros use zooms a lot less than amateurs. Zooms are good for people like the OP, who are new to photography, and don't know the difference bewtween 24mm...

Nah, just very ignorant .

Negative - it's pixel density; or enlargement factor , if the sensors only differ in size but havethe same resolution.In real life, it is more complex, but not by much . There is no such thing as...

Sorry, that's not true . The amount of light is not measured across the entire sensor surface, that's not how sensivity measurement works .Any object of a certain brightness will always create the...

There is a single reason why a lens with a wide max aperture is called fast - it allows for a higher - faster - shutter speed at the same ISO, to help avoid camera shake or freeze fast moving...

Every decent Raw converter can do better than any in-camera jpg engine , with noise or anything else . The catch is, post processing is depending on the skills of the user .

I don't see any noise in any of the images, apart from the one that was a little over processed in LR (?) ; the 2nd one of the chap holding the picture . It's a very good sensor, but still 'only'...

I'm a pro, but mostly do studio work with medium format backs. In general, when I use the Canon 5DII or similar FF cameras, I bring the Nex5N as a backup system, and wouldn't be too worried about...

They can't beat physics . Even worse, they can't beat demand . A pretty good, moderate wide - normal zoom , say a 4/20-35 , shouldn't be too hard to make, at a reasonable price and size . It would...

As said above, your image quality issues might not be related to the lenses you have tried . What lenses or camera systems did you compare them to, using the same general setup ?

Amen to that , you make very good points there . It's funny with the Nex - it's one of the first super compact APS-C camera systems, using one of the best sensors available, yet still it is married...
