Special blog posting for my friend Eddie Chow - who was recently "poisoned" by the photo bug & bought a Sony NEX 5N.

I recently brought my Sony NEX 7 with me to NYC. It wasn't my main camera so I only took a few shots with it (I guess I am still used to holding an DSLR). In any case, I am really happy with the NEX ... it's amazing that a camera this small has contain enough pixels to put cheap SLRs to shame!


This shot below was taken in Times Square - I doubt that there is a better place to test the imaging qualities of the NEX system in NYC. The details, movements, colours, contrast etc... this is the perfect place to see if the NEX system has what it takes to "take it all in". I also brought it with me to Central Park (see photo below). The kit lens (18mm-55mm) though already very good has limitations and will never rival the quality of a Canon "L" lens. Having said that, it is definitely a good quality back-up camera for me on this trip.
