Bought a NEX 5 with 18-55 kit lens and made the update to V4. Unfortunately I do not have at the moment any adapter to NEX so I tried the kit lens in MF modus with this new feature.

I´m really surprised and very impressed how good this feature performs. Hopefully Panasonic and Olympus will implement such a feature in their m4/3 firmware too.

Congrat, Rolf. This kit lens 18~55 is not too bad I think.

Did not expect this result. But I must say that I have a "problem" with the proportion. It´s a lens with cam and not vice versa. Must familiarize with this combo Smile

Laughing Laughing I did start as SLR fun too and now I have three mirror less camera instead of a better SLR camera. Let we see I look forward your images taken with Konica Hexanons. As you know already Hexanons have special place in my heart.

Congrats !
you're right , it's somewhat odd , but , try to hold under the lens , flip up the LCD and support it against your chest (or belly) Laughing . I find very convenient to shoot like that ( and almost unperceived by the others )

Yep - I´m really a little bit "excited". Can´t wait until the adapter will arrive - hopefully I have not to wait too long.

@ Rolf : NEX is no cam, it is a rear lens cap with sensor

I'm wondering if it's worth selling my 5D and buying a Nex. Lately I've been quite upset about the rubbish 5D display, which--even if you one zooms in--doesn't really allow to confirm whether anything is actually in focus...

Don't do it.
5D is a way way better than any mirrorless camera,
and Nex is not the best mirrorless out there.

In my opinion do it, take a NEX, an EOS-NEX adapter available on market you can use all EOS adapter what you have. I did also not jump on 5D reason was exactly what you said. !!!! Focusing on LCD pretty nasty!!! First try it out in a shop before sell your 5D, I have an LCD viewer as focusing aid which is big but make it to pleasant focusing device. Another alternative is SAMSUNG NX10, it has excellent EV finder and know almost everything what NEXT offer.

Yay! Battery has charged, and after 20 minutes of running around looking for my USB cable, I'm up to v4! I find that the yellow colour is best in bright light for some reason, I thought it would be red?! Laughing

The 5D is still better for image quality and full frame goodness, but the Nex is VERY versatile!

No doubt in that, but how often do you log the 5D around, now that you have the Nex, which is lighter and easier to focus?

Of course, but you wouldn't compare a 5D to a 1000D either, would you? Wink

Good comments guys!

The Nex is perfect for slipping in my small case with a fast 35mm lens (or 40/1.8 Konica soon!) when going to parties, gigs, football and that sort of thing. That said, I have no problem with lugging a rucksack around with the 5D and about 10 lenses in Laughing I go everywhere I'm allowed to go with it Very Happy

Does anyone know whether the latest firmware allows full manual control of the flash-gun? Apparently, the pre-flash couldn't be deactivated so far, which is quite a deal-breaker for off-camera strobist work...
