I disagree with Bart Hickman.
His conversion only applies to depth of field, not light gathering ability.
In low-light situation, the canon's f2.8 will "beat" your LX-5's f2 only if its newer and...

How Do you know about the lo-res LCD viewfinder ? There's no mention of the resolution in this news.

My bet is no. Because NEX stands for New _E-mount_ eXperience. - E-mount can't accomodate a 24x36 sensor. While you could fit one within the mount's diameter, the electronic pins' extremities...

The Handeld Twilight mode isn't limited to 1600 ISO. My 'old' NEX-5 can use anything between 1600 and 6400 ISO (including 2500 and 5000 half stop steps). 12800 ISO is never used in HHT. My best...

The cheapest one I can find on ebay is 695 Euros \/ 920$ ! :(

I wish I had a lens like this one. Imagine the result on the future Nex-7. I downloaded your sample image and upscaled it to 6000x4000 (24MP), and then I cropped the vignetting. After...

Where on Earth did you find a new Nex-5 Body at 250€ ??????? And a 5n at 500€ ???

The camera needs to be modified to remove the built-in IR block filter. Actually, your Nex-5 blocks IR light and only let Visible light pass through. But your IR filter does more or less the...

What's the point of saving big +80Mb tiff files when the original RAWs are smaller ? And not only that, but with the RAW files you can benefit from future progress in de-mosaicing\/de-bayering...

Thanks to both of you. Finally understanding what masking is for will greatly improve my Photoshop and Camera Raw usage. May the Force be with you !

You can use 2sec or 10sec delay for long exposures. And Bulb mode is available on the old Nex-5 (you must be in Manual mode), so I bet it's there on the 5n too.

But market test is exactly what Nex-3 and 5 are ! Sony thought they were targetting tourists and soccer moms with small high quality cameras. That's why they made them so simple. Almost no...

Yes, that's exactly it. Same in my old Nex-5, my HX9v and my Panasonic FZ38. They all have an orientation sensor, and they all make that same clicking noise. Maybe not as loud as in the OP's...

Yes, there's some chroma noise on those pics. But that particular Nex-7 is actually the only one working in the world. And it runs on the Nex-5n firmware. Meaning that the Jpeg engine is tweaked...

DPreview's news about "Leica firmware update" http://www.dpreview.com/news/1003/10031502leicam9firmware.asp It's not about fringing nor about the M 50mm f/1.4. But it proves that Leica does...

And what about handeld video ?

It's not that fringing is irrelevant, it's just that fringing is corrected in M9 cameras, not in Nex-5n. Simple as that. Well ... Not that simple in fact. By stepping backward to *roughly*...

But AVCHD is MPEG ! To be exact, it's /Mpeg-4 part 10 (H264\/AVC)/ (AVC stands for Advanced Video Coding) and it's the best "lossy" codec specs to date. Way better than /Mpeg-4 part 2 (ASP)/...
