| Sony NEX-7 w/16mm f/2.8 lens |
I started trying to find the Sony NEX-7 in mid December. Oh, I could find it back then, but it was on Craigslist for about $1,000 over retail…no thanks!
So, finally, about two weeks ago, I read that B&HPhoto was accepting orders and placed mine right away. At the time, the estimate was for delivery in late Feb. or early Mar.
Then, today it came!
The battery is still charging, so haven’t had a chance to put it through its paces yet, but I’m looking forward to that.
I’ve read many positive things and excellent reviews about this camera, but one of the deciding factors was how well the sensor image quality did on DxOMark.com. There, it rated 8th overall, and that was against some very serious competition including the Nikon D3X and some Phase One cameras.
The other main factor for me was size. After owning the Sony NEX-5N for awhile, I fell in love with the compact form factor and could hardly keep my hands off that camera. 🙂 So, now it’s the NEX-7 for me and, hopefully, the end of my semi-compulsive camera switching…well, for a while anyway.
