Most of your cons probably are cons when it comes to Nex cameras. The thing I realized a long time ago is that all cameras have tradeoffs. Yeah, new tech can make newer cameras better, but generally, you can make a list of pros and cons for any camera. The trick is, what pros excite you and what cons annoy you most?bfitzgerald wrote:Lots of stuff to complain about
- Doesn't take A mount lenses - Adaptor required = more cost
- Poor battery life
- No charger provided
- Rear LCD not full articulated
- Partial plastic mount (ie lugs are not metal)
- No IBIS
- No flash built in
- Evidently noisy shutter
- Oddball looks, subjective and maybe not that important to many
- No electronic FC shutter on A7r, slower fps, slower flash sync
- Not that cheap, even the A7 v say a Canon 6d no price advantage
Positives..
+ It's a FF sensor
+ Can use adaptors to fit lenses from many mounts
About all I can think of right now
Yeah for £899 even I might get interested, but £1300 nah honestly this wasn't the blow you away release some were saying
Someone might look at the Nex and just write it off as inferior, or doesn't like the handling, or whatever. A different person will see value in what it offers.
