It's been awhile.

Press the button and wait for the green lights. I'm moving on with my NEX.

It's been awhile, it's been nearly half a year that I've posted any pictures. I've sold my whole Olympus gear and jumped to a smaller ship. In this post, all the pictures are taken by the NEXt generation interchangeable lens camera, they called it the mirrorless camera system. Proudly announce, I'm using Sony Alpha NEX -3 camera with only a 16mm Lens F2.8 - 24mm FOV.  It was a quite a challenging experience using a very wide single focal lens through out the whole photowalk and hard to get used to the wide angle lens with no zooms, the only way to reach the object is to move closer, but it was good to learn the technique of using the lens. Let's cut the crap.. enjoy the photos...

That's all for the post. It's time for me conclude my thoughts on this NEX3 with 16mm lens: First of all, I didn't actually expect much with the image quality, but it actually turns out more than I'd expected. The colors are vibrant enough to my liking though the lens is not as sharp like Zuiko lens but this can be easily sharpen in Photoshop. Some NEX users are complaining about the menu system, there's no shortcuts for setting for instance the ISO and the white balance, you have to get into the menu system to find those setting. But to me, you just need some time to practice and get into the menu system quickly. The AF is fast enough and the mechanism in the lens is very quiet, you can't hear the AF motor working at all, but what bothers me most is the Shutter sound, it's way to loud!!! Overall I give NEX3 a 6/10, cheerios to the portability and the IQ.
