    this would be great on my Nex-5n! ...and actually not badly priced...I don't see that it has image stabilization, which would be somewhat useful on a 750mm lens.

    Yes very nice lens indeed!!! Ther ewill never be image stabilization in lens as standard alpha cameras have in body stabilization :(

    The only way to get in lens stabilization for the NEX is either use e mount lens with stabilization or use conorus EF to Nex adapter and then you can use canon super zooms with IS!

    One good thing though with the 500 G SSM, is the "SSM" will make for a very capable video lens!!!

OpenMemories App Shown on Camera's Application Tab DHI Enterprises shows us how to install a third party application for Sony Cameras which support the PlayMemories Camera Apps. The third party OpenMemories AppStore can now be installed using the same method shown. WARNING from the OpenMemories AppStore developer: Is it safe? This is an experiment in a very early stage. All information has been found through reverse engineering. Even though everything worked fine for our developers, it could cause harm to your hardware. If you break your camera, you get to keep both pieces. We won't take any responsibility. However, this seems to be safer than tampering with your camera firmware directly. We're just interacting with the isolated Android subsystem. Apps you install this way can be uninstalled in the applications manager. In the worst case, a factory reset of the camera clears all data on the Android partitions. How To Install OpenMemories AppStore on your Sony C
