Went back to the NEX-5

It is not often that I get time to actually play around with the NEX-5 anymore compared to when I first got it but even after all the knocks and bruises mine has, I gave it a good run on Sunday and I still love it to bits! The 18-55 is still great on camera and still yet to find fault with it. Manual peak focus is the best thing since mashed potatoes.

I am looking forward to trying out the focus speeds on the NEX-7 when it is out for video. I mean hands on already, it was pretty sweet but need to actually live with one now.

I think the only thing that I could say that I am still finding a laborious task is the fact that sleep mode cannot be switched off.

Hey Watashiwateshdes, how's it going?

Love to see your vid, but the link's dead...

..or maybe it's just sleeping

Yeah I was cleaning up the final footage last night and accidentally deleted one. I have now updated. It still surprises me how well this performs in mixed lighting conditions and low light. Now to get myself one of the SLT's
