This part is kind of questionable IMHO as Panasonic people talk about "mirrorless sales" but they produce only MFTs which is only part of the segment. I wonder if they are really talking about...

Never had the problem but people here did. http://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3399033 Probably bad contacts or something.

These are just reflections on the metal surface.

So, all the rumor says is that Sony plans to drop the translucent mirror from their current DSLR-like cameras. This kind of makes sense as these, with the same sensor as NEX, had slightly worse IQ...

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
