One of the best features of my nikon d700 was the ability to create personal, custom color/jpg-profiles on my computer and load those into the camera and install them, is this possible with the nex-cameras?
on a Nex 7 with third party lenses and adaptors, do I have the ability to change shutter speed. For example if I want to do a long exposure, IF so How, I can get the camera into S shooting mode,but can't see how to set speed.
thank you, joanlvh
ps I have read the manual, punched around the buttons...

The camera will tell you want mode it is in on the settings display on the LCD (you can hit the Disp button to bring this up ) in addition to the presence/lack of the AF frame. Peaking is also disabled in AF mode.
SonyAlphaRumours is reporting the NEX "high performance standard zoom" on their lens roadmap will be a 16-50 3.5-5.6 OSS. If this is true, I'm just flabbergasted at Sony. With all the holes in the NEX lens lineup, why would they imagine what we needed was a slightly better version of an already pretty good kit lens?
Slightly dissapointed it's not a f2.8 but I imagine that's a size trade off.
16 vs 18mm though is a Significant difference. I actually do think they need a great 24-70 equivalent since that's a bread and butter FL. I'm glad they're making it. I'll probably be picking one up if I stay on NEX.
In fact if it's excellent, I might be selling my FF alpha.
I'm looking forward to this new zoom also. Hopefully, it lives up to the "G" branding. I'm guessing it will given the conservative maximum aperture speed.
Here's my take on the new, slow zoom. I think there's been some confusion with the lens roadmap on SAR's part, because they have gone back to showing the old roadmap. I think this is still the current roadmap:
So, if we’re supposed to get a high magnification zoom, standard zoom, wide zoom and fast aperture standard this year, I think the new black 20-200 is the new high mag. zoom, and the new 16-50 is the new standard zoom (not a G.) The higher end G zoom will be next year, along with the mid-magnification zoom, mid-tele prime and pancake.
That’s my take on the confusion. I'm betting we'll see this new standard zoom, wide zoom and fast standard this year, but we'll have to wait until next year for the G zoom.
The strong rumor now is that this new 16-50 "G" zoom will be a Pancake zoom! That could certainly make it worthy of "G" status. I can't wait to see if Sony is able to pull this off!
