I bought the RX100 and now I miss the viewfinder of my old P60. A movable screen would also be useful. What a pity...

@dpreview.com: As you know, the performance of a camera depends very much on the quality of the lens. What lens did you use to test the NEX-6, please? I couldn´t find any hints in the article.

I personally do not agree about adding a touchscreen to the NEX line of cameras. I simply don't like touchscreen and I know a lot of people that feel the same way.

but fact is, navigating is easier with a touchscreen.

Sony continues without fail, to make ugly-looking cameras.

Just want to know if Sony Nex-6 had a time and date feature. I have looked through all the materials and have not seen it.

As it takes RAW files all of these details will be on the file along with shutter speed, aperture used etc.
