I have owned both and switched to the 16-50 simply because it was smaller and had the extra wide angle at 16mm. In these summer months, my NEX 5R+PZ drops into my shorts pockets. We went to the zoo...

Hi, I owned a GH2 and now have a 5R=16-50mm PZ lens. Read a bit about the G5 and here's my take: Handling on the G5 blows any NEX away, just pick one up and it fits the typical mid sized hand. The...

BTW, yes, am aware of the issues with the PZ below 18mm or so, and if I remember, I zoom in slightly to about 19-20mm. Not sure it's possible to sell from this frame. I don't think EXIF is embedded...

It's video, so to be honest, I assumed that the shutter speed has to be at 50fps (UK frame rate - US is 60fps) unless I'm missunderstanding video on prosumer cameras? I know little about video when...

Shot some video of a bee in the garden (England) using 5R+16-50 PZ and grabbed this screen shot from Quicktime on my Mac. Not as sharp as a proper photo of course, but not too shabby. Note the...

I gave up using DPreview a few weeks ago, because the home page is broken on all my Mac browsers (Chrome, Safari etc). Have returned expecting it to be fixed, but alas not: 1. An unwanted...

Nice! (Fellow 5R owner.)

Hi Mel, Thanks for the feedback. Nice shots! (See my daffodils from a few weeks ago.) Agreed, I would like to get closer, but due to the intense sunlight, I was having trouble getting too close for...

Not to start a flame war (am unbiased, favouring whatever is best), but I have an NEX 5R, that is half the price of this otherwise lovely machine, yet features a fully articulated display that can...

I have had both and the 16-50 is so much more versatile and compact, once you get used to it, it is capable of superb results. Be warned, if you zoom whilst recording video, there is a very...

(Last attempt at posting this partially failed due to probs with uploading images. Even posting this went all wrong, my text ended up being scrambled into random order! WTF DPreview?) Well, that...

Thanks. In my view, assuming real world user experience shows the lens to be as good as it's spec would indicate, the f1.8 is the most exciting announcement in lenses since the NEX was launched. I...

Well, that was short lived! it's raining and windy outside now, but we really did have sunshine over the bank holiday weekend. Promise! Hence lots of burned Brits back at work this week, with sore...

Thanks. Actually, I have had to 'practice' a great deal with the 16-50 PZ when it comes to flowers. I don't know if it is me, the 5R or the lens, but I have found getting detail difficult. I often...

Single Married Slightly tweaked in Aperture to add some detail that was missing, perhaps due to slight over exposure. A lovely time to be in England, the flowers have finally come out with the sun...

True. I gave up with the WiFi feature being it is not seamless. Panasonic have got it right with the NFC feature on their latest. Ironic, because Sony have NFC built into their latest phones and...

Lovely! (He says, typing this from overcast, bankrupt England, wishing he could teleport to Polynesia and never return!) What made me giggle is that you have a 5R (I have one too), a nice compact...

I have exactly the same problem, no matter how hard I try, in what light and no matter the settings, I cannot get sharp, detailes photos of plants. The colours are all mushy too. The PZ (and...

Ooooh! DPreview featuring rumours and leaks now! Hmm, interesting.
