Sony Alpha NEX Cameras and E Mount Lenses

Ant sent us this capture of an AVCHD video made with the Sony NEX-5. The NEX was protected from the salt water with an inexpensive Dicapac WP-H10 waterproof case . Ant was on his honeymoon at the time as well. Congratulations to the Mr. and Mrs. Ant. Sony NEX-5 18-55mm OSS in Dicapac WP-H10

WSpekner's Sony NEX-3 with a 35mm Summarit-M WSpekner tested out the Leica Summarit-M 35mm f/2.5 on the Sony NEX-3 using a Kipon Leica-M to NEX E-mount adapter. Check out his review and sample photos at motimotion.at .

Available from mid-October, a firmware update adds fresh functionality to the NEX-5/NEX-3. Autofocus operation is now supported when using A-mount SAM and SSM lenses with the optional LA-EA1 Mount Adaptor (upgrade for NEX-VG10 is available from mid-November). There’s also a new custom function that allows assignment to buttons of frequently-used functions, plus a new function to record movies with setup aperture. The growing range of E-mount system cameras, lenses and accessories is on display at Photokina. The compact, beautifully styled NEX-5/NEX-3 feature an APS-C size sensor, allowing photographers to capture DSLR-quality stills and video with the creative freedom of interchangeable lenses. On show are prototypes of seven new E-mount lenses that will be available during 2011 and 2012. Thanks Sony EU ! We'll have more later on this.
