Have gone through a number of reviews and articles, and they are all good. Thing is, I'm about to buy a second cam for myself, moving up from a P&S - primary requirements are potraiture (Kids - have a 10 month one), Low-light, Landscape and good movie. I would be adding a 50 MM prime and a 55-250 MM (or equivalent) lenses going further. Now, I'm confused between NEX-5 & Canon T3 (1100D), i know these are very different formats but budget wise, they come into almost the same category. Issues with NEX seem the limited as well as expensive lens collection while T3 lags behind in video and form-factor. Taking into mind the local prices, the T3 with all three lenses (kit lens included) while cost around US$800 while NEX will cross 1000, so that is also an important factor. Please share your comments. Regards, Jaspreet Singh Hi Steve, you have a wonderful site here! Have gone through a number of reviews and articles, and they are all good.

Steve, thanks a lot for being real world reviewer :) seriously no graphs,etc., thats wonderful. I would like to thank you for this post and the good people who commented: been trying to get an M8 within my budget for sometime, and when I was looking for my next cam, I googled to see any writings on Nex cameras. Voila here it is, and special thanks to the Good Soul who wrote the words " budget M8" , your comment was the turning point for me to go ahead with this purchase. So in future I hope to get a good Leica lens for portraits with an adaptor. Cheers Krishna Hi Everyone,

I am using a 25mm f/4 voigtlander Sokpar and it is SO sharp!! I am currently using the 16mm f/2.8 which is pretty good but after using manual lenses images don't look all that great with the kit lens. I'm thinking of getting the 18-55 kit lens as there's no way i can afford the Zeiss 24mm f1.7 glass when it comes out. The NEX with legacy glass is STUNNING!!

You've got great reviews here. I have decided to buy Olympus EP1 until I saw this. Thank you, really, for this. What I'm buying is NEX 5D (16mm + 18-55mm), is it really okay for amateurs like me? I want to enhance my photography skills, eh. And oh, btw, are you a professional photographer? Cause your shots are so awesome. Hi Steve!! You’ve got great reviews here.

I'm interested in using other lenses using adapter. Tamron has USD VC (image stabilization) lenses that have stellar review in various review and retail website. Does anyone know if this USD and VC technology uses any power/electricity to function? Sony brand of that Tamron lens does not have VC, and I'm looking into Tamron lenses made for Canon or Nikon, but I worry if those technologies are useless because Canon-NEX, Nikon-NEX adapters don't provide electricity to lenses.
