We’d love to hear from you on what you love most about your NEX camera.  Maybe it’s the design or a specific feature of function. Whatever it is please do let us know what it is and what you like it.

    The image quality referred to the dimension and weight, surely, this year my A700 will stay at home during vacation

    The creativity people put into NEX, especially with the adapters to put previous lines of lenses on the new bodies. There are some really creative photo-albums online, where people have used 30 year old lenses.

    Design, image quality, the ability to use my old Minolta Rokkor lenses on a digital camera.

    I think Sony has made a slick trick establishing the smallest register distance for the E-mount: Nex cameras can mount any lens ever made

    I am a former staff press photographer and have recently purchased a NEX 5K. This camera is exceptional but why oh why doesn't it have a wide bracketing for HDR. Maybe a one stop setting would be better than the 0.7 it has now. Well yes I will continue to do my HDR photography on my Canon DSLR's and Photomatix software. I don't think it would be difficult to supply a firmware upgrade.

    My professional studio photography enabled me to segue into a very lucrative career, and I sold all of my equipment along with my studio.

    After buying a NEX-5 to take on holiday, I fell in love again with photography. The design of the camera, the quality of images, the fantastic software and the ability to use great lenses in new, creative ways has renewed my imagination and interest again in photography.  I did not experience that with my Nikon, Canon or medium format equipment. The small size and brilliant results has brought back the enthusiasm for creating amazing images.

    I realize that everyone has a long Christmas list of things they would like to see in the NEX line and I’m no exception and will certainly be exchanging my NEX-5 for the NEX-7, but having said that...

     

    … you’re doing it right.

    It just has to be size v image quality.  I can now carry around a body, 3 lenses, and two spare batteries in a tiny camera bag which would have taken a whole backpack with my dSLR gear, and I still get image quality equal (with the 5N - better in my opinion) to my Pro dSLR gear - amazing!

     

    Since buying my NEX-5 I've sold my dSLR kit, upgraded to a 5N and keenly awaiting the arrival of my NEX-7 order!  My camera now goes with me *everywhere* and I hardly even notice I'm carrying it. Thank you Sony!!

    All the ingredients of design classic: A product that is driven 100% by delivering genuine benifits to the consumer. No awful retro design here.

    It's my third camera and by far, I love the weight and the design. https://imagicon.info/cat/12-13/vmware_happy.gif

    Like others have said; use of legacy lenses. I have added several images to the gallery using old manual  lenses.

    I've had the NEX 7 for approx 6 months. The size is perfect and the IQ is amazing. There are however a few issues that need fixing with a firmware update.

     

    Apart from that it's brilliant.
