I'd still be quite interested in the answer to that question, though. :)

I believe the OP's question was not about hunting for focus but about the "oscillation" which is normal among all NEXes and probably among many other cameras in AF-C mode. Hunting causes...

I guess this is the rear curtain being faster than the sensor in clearing the image (electronic front curtain). I suppose disabling the electronic front curtain might help. Maybe the sensor...

Yes, it is normal. All native E-mount lenses so far are of a focus-by-wire type.

I guess it could be that you are working with 16bit color depth in LR but JPEGs support only 8bit colors which means the picture is being converted when saved. (Same happens to the screenshot, when...

That's weird. I can speak only for Nex-5N but when I select menu/camera/AF-MF mode, the setting is definitely retained. You have a dedicated button for this on 7, don't you? Maybe try to check if...

From my understanding the RAW are basically raw data captured by the camera/sensor. White balance is applied to these captured data after that - either automatically by the camera or during the...

I don't think it's a special sony-shooter term. It's quite commonly used term describing the color temperature (although the "warm" light has actually lower temperature in kelvins than what's...

You can shoot RAW and adjust the WB to your taste later. That's one of the biggest advantages of the RAW. I actually like the WB on your shot though. As other mentioned there are two different...

I'm not sure about the current state but Nex-6's manual states the following. Lens support for Fast Hybrid AF The following lenses support phase-detection AF but initially require a firmware update...

You mention the touch screen few times. Just to be sure - none of these two cameras (as well as the NEX-7 actually) has a touch screen - only the Nex-5 has it.

As for the anti-glare screen protector, I doubt it would improve the performance on sunlight. You'd actually be quite lucky to find one that performs at least  as good as the original anti-glare...

The "oscillation" (not hunting, just some oscillation around the "perfect" focus) is normal in AF-C mode imho, It's not going to lock. Same with my camera. Taken pictures should be sharp though. In...

On the 18-55 the zoom is controlled mechanically by rotating the ring (the traditional way). On 16-50 the zoom is controlled by wire/motor (either by moving the slider on it's side or rotating the...

Seems quite common in Europe (and rare in US). On Amazon(UK) it's about 30£ more for the 16-50 version.

Maybe for some sort of toy camera/dreamy effect :) ECU1 + 18-55 kit

That's a good idea. I tried to take few more test shots during last few sun rays today but it's so hard to get comparable shots with the 535mm equiv tele, especially with loosened converter on a...

Thanks guys. Yes, unfortunately all shots look somehow like these samples. Right edge soft and blurry bottom right corner. It's just more obvious with, ehm, landscapes. Unfortunately I have a busy...

Bought a new VCL-DH1758 in local shop for sensible price (~115 EUR) but I'm quite disappointed with it's results. Especially the right side and bottom right corner is beyond what I'd consider...
