p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · NEX 3,5,6,7 users - keep it or sell it for A7/A7R?


So what are your plans for your current NEX setup? Keep or sell? Are you going to try any of the FE glass?

I am for sure keeping my 5N for a motorcycle touring camera, I had thought I'd buy A7 now, but I'm considering waiting until Spring to decide.

Thinking about trying the Zeiss 24-70/4 on 5N for a one-lens travel setup (not on the dirtbike, though!).

What are you gonna do??

Keep. Not interested in the A7 or A7R models myself.

I'm definitely keeping my 5N, and then I'll wait-and-see on the A7. Even if I get the A7/R, the 5N is nice because it's smaller, because I like the touch screen operation for waist-level shooting, and because it's nice to have a backup body.

I had to sell to have money for the A7R. I am keeping the Nikon D600 for work where I need fast autofocus. I've already sold the Nex-7, and feel like this wait for the A7R is taking a loong time...

+1. That is exactly what I would like to do. NEX-5N serves my purpose and the new Zeiss 24-70 F4 will be "glued" on my NEX-5N. :-)

I have a 5N and may pick up a used 6 ($400?) or 7 ($500?) at local craiglist. For now, I see the price for 7 is $650.

my NEX-7 broke so that solved my dilemma. i'll convert the 5n to IR and give the 3 to my daughter probably with that pesky 16/2.8. i guess i'll sell the sigma lenses.

none of this will happen till summer though.

I checked the lens weight of 24-70/4, and it's almost the same as my Nikon 60 macro - I'm going to try that on an adapter and see how that weight is on 5N for handling. I think it will be very do-able.

Keeping 5n of course, for backup and stealth.

I'm keeping the 5N and waiting for the Nex 7 replacement (SAR now saying 2014). I ordered an A7r but cancelled it to wait for results of wide RF lenses and Canon TSEs. Depending on results I may re-order one down the line.

On a side note I've gone through 2 5N bodies (lost the 2nd today). I have 1 now and just bought a 5R to replace my dead backup.

For now, since I wanted a FF with a 28mm on it I am sticking with the 5N/ZM18 combination. If it turns out that the a7/r and one of the 28mm M-mounts work well, then I might switch, but I am in no hurry. I would also get the A7 rather than a7r because of the smaller file size that I would have to handle when doing backups and so on.

Actually Im thinking about buying second-hand 5N right now. Why? Cause its really small (A7/A7R are nice, but.. well not that small) and light.

Plus, I know it might sound bit like heresy but Im really curious about Nikon..

There's no shame in being Nikon-curious as long as you play safe.

I'll keep the 7 for now. The 6 and X-E1 were going anyway, just haven't had time to deal with listing them. The a99 may be going as well, but not until I can use the a7r and find out if I can live without SteadyShot, which I suspect I can.

Keeping my Nex 6 and waiting for more feedback on A7/A7r.
Also keeping my 5D3 for AF, but always keeping an eye open for more FF mirrorless options in the future.

I'm going to keep all my 3 NEXes (2x5N+7).7A/r advent doesn't change much.They are still the smallest cameras with good quality APS-C sensor and universal applications.

Canons and Nikons will stay either because I like to have a few different systems.

I see the A7/r as a camera that allows my alts ,not Canon/Nikon adaptable, to be used on FF.

And no FE glass planned.

Hi Michelle.

I'll be keeping my 5N and CV lenses. Unless the A7 or A7R turn out to have excellent RF lens compatibility my interest in it will only be from a curiosity standpoint since it's really the first of it's kind.

I'll be good until Sony shelfs the 16MP APS-C sensor. I could potentially buy another 5N before I buy anything else.
