Any Sony Nex 5 Camera users?

I just got a 5n second hand (basically never used). What a thing it is! Upgraded from years of point and shoots and camera phones. I'm taking close ups of all sorts of crap in the kitchen...then looking at the images. Amazing what a sensor can do in this day and age.

I like the balance of the capabilities near a DSLR with changeable lenses and a small body.

Hey...just noticed I am getting close to 5k posts! sheesh!

One of my favorite things is that I can use all my Pentax glass on it with an adapter. This makes for some really good pictures and I didn't have to buy new glass! This is good for still/studio work, but I am looking for a bit larger zoom for the point and shoot on action shots. The multi picture mode is GREAT. I end up taking 4-5 shots of most things with a single push and then go save the best of the bunch. Very, VERY cool feature.

So now that you got some good close ups....What kind of crap was it?

I think I will have to spill for one more of the e-mount lenses as well so that you have all the features. I will also do some fun older manual glass. I did pick up an older Nikon Nikkor 70-210 zoom this week to play with, still waiting for the adapter.

I will probably get a SEL 55210 Sony unveils four lenses for A and E mounts: Digital Photography Review

These shots were taken with no flash at night inside.

This is the main benefit of the large format chips...low light stuff looks GREAT!

Same thing with video. I have a Sony EX 1 video camera and it is on par during daylight shooting, but as soon as the light levels go down...WOW, what a difference a quality lens and large format chips make.
