Took my 5N on the slopes (16mm one day, 18-55mm another) in Colorado. Here are some of the results. I must admit I was unabashedly happy when I saw one or two folks lugging around a huge DSLR backpack. C&C welcome.























 
what's with the glow around the tree tops in the first pic?
 
I love the last and the last but one picture! Very nice angle and composition, in my opinion.

I have one question regarding the first pic: There are huge halos around the trees. Seems as if you did some HDR processing, e .g. in Photomatix, right?

Emi,

There might be something wrong with the lens. None of these pictures appear to me to be in focus.
 
1st one was high HDR with an applied filter in PP.

@Legal, two lenses were used. Please explain your observations. Thanks.
 
Huh? Focus problems? I see nothing!

Bit overdone on the HDR on that first one though ;)
 
I looked closely at 3 towards the bottom and they all looked in focus to me.
 
I'll concede that my eyes aren't the best; I wear glasses. But I can't find a focus point in any of them. If you think I'm in error, would you kindly direct me to something that is in sharp focus in just one of these pictures?
 
I think you're mistaking being in focus with being a focal point. These shots are in focus and sharp (could be sharper, but still).

The sign that says "closed" is in focus. I think the OP was using multi focus and if you look at his Aperture setting, then the only things in focus are up close subjects.
The Autofocus on the NEX cameras are pretty weird as in the subjects it chooses.

The spirit of the post was that you can take really slick photos while still being able to fit a camera, capable of taking really great photos, in your pocket (e.g., skiing). With respect to focus, even 'sunny weather' lcd brightness is a bit of a struggle out on the snow, but I think these turned out reasonably well. For these shots, autofocus area was set to 'center', metering was set to 'multi'. Here's another example:



 
just curious. seems like if the cam is in your pocket then one little fall and the camera is in trouble.

That's true. Thew camera or your hip, or both :(

When I used to ski, I found the best solution was a bumbag.

Stop, pull bag round to the front, open, extract camera, shoot, return camera, close bag, pull round to the back. I think my NEX and 16mm would fit well in my bumbag.

You don't fall flat on your back very often when skiing ;)

I can't say that I was entirely confident that skiing with my 5N in my ski jacket pocket was a great idea -- it was definitely a risk / reward scenario. My only precaution was to wrap the camera in a soft microfiber cloth to keep it from getting scratched up. The other consolation is that Colorado isn't like the Northeast, the snow is generally fluffy and forgiving!
