Jay — Wed, 22 May 2013 10:46:36 +0000

I took several video clips using the my Sony Nex-6 and my GoPro Hero2 that I’ve had for some time now. The Nex-6 did a great job with the video in my opinion and the GoPro Camera, which is similar to the Sony Action Cam, offered a new perspective on the pool and more. I [...]

Disney Vacation, Nex-6, 55-210mm lens – The Animal Kingdom

Jay — Sat, 18 May 2013 00:52:50 +0000

For this series of Photos from out Disney Family Vacation, I used my Nex-6 and the 55-210mm E-Mount Lens. The extra focal length of the SEL55210 was definitely needed for the Animal Kingdom as most animals were pretty far away, and the 18-55mm standard kit lens is not enough zoom. I really wanted to get [...]

Sony News and Rumors!! New Lenses, Cameras and More..

Jay — Wed, 15 May 2013 10:50:37 +0000

As you may have heard Sony has changed it’s camera road map big time and has also consolidated it’s line significantly. Canceling the Nex-7n because it was not significantly better enough than the existing Nex-7?? Really? So, will the Nex-7n just get passed over for the Nex-9 or Nex-8 perhaps? After reading up on several [...]
