If there's a difference between the cameras, you'll never notice the difference by looking at the photos on your computer. The real difference is with the photographer. A talented photographer (not...

So far, the HVLF20S has been the most useful accessory I've bought for the 5N. It's well worth the money IMHO.

With an 8GB SD card, it'll take about two full battery charges worth of photos before you fill it up. All you need is one or two 8GB memory cards, an extra battery and a camera bag. Optionally,...

My 5N doesn't have a hint of clicking. I bought it after Sony had identified the problem and started rolling out cameras without the defect. Truthfully, we really don't know what Sony is doing...

Contrary to your experience, I rarely get an out of focus shot in good light no matter which focus setting I use. You may have a lemon.

According to Gizmodo, it's going to retail for $800.00.

When I'm not holding my 5N at waist level, I push the camera out so the neck strap it tight. It offers quite a bit of stabilization. I agree though that it's not as stable as holding the...

I sold my D90 yesterday on Craigslist. I also bought the 5N about a month ago and wanted to make sure the 5N was the right camera before selling the D90. I'm sure there are a LOT of similar...

The 5N has decent custom menus. Not complete but very welcome.

My copy is awesome. From what I've read here, the 18-55 that comes with the 5N is possibly an upgrade or at least, manufactured with higher quality control.

I also have a 5N that I bought two weeks ago from Best Buy and no clicking. I'm a happy camper! I do wish BB would carry the black one though.

MPlayerX will play the MTS files if you want to watch them before converting them for FCP. You can find it in the Mac App Store...free.

On another note, tell us about your neck strap. It looks much better than the crap strap provided by Sony.

You beat me to it.

You'll also need enough batteries to take that many photos each day and possibly a good warranty for that much abuse. :)

I had the same problem and found this thread. The details on how to turn Peaking Level on aren't in the instructions. Thanks for starting this thread.

I don't think you can properly evaluate the 5N in the store. When you take the camera home and program two buttons for your most used settings like ISO and WB and the third button with a custom...

The 55-210 is a fantastic lens. Great color and contrast and very nice DOF. I haven't been as excited about a lens since the Minolta Beercan.
