I returned my Samsung NX10 today and pre-ordered an X100 instead of my other choice which was getting an NEX-5 (they didn't have the kit with the 16mm lens in stock).

Speaking of NEX, the LA-EA2 alpha->nex adapter sounds like a cool but expensive option to turn your NEX into a DSLR-equivalent entity with phase-detect autofocus and a big selection of lenses. Is it worth it, compared to just getting an A77 or other alpha-mount Sony SLT? The way I see it, NEX+adapter costs more, but can be made small (and use small rangefinder lenses) when you want to, as opposed to an SLT which is big always.

Welp, I got an OM-D yesterday and so begins my journey into Micro 4/3rds land. I had to read many reviews to convince me that the "downgrade" from my APS-sized NEX sensor isn't that big a deal, especially combined with all the nice juicy features the OM-D offers (the image stabilization is awesome!). With the 12-50 kit lens, the OM-D is kinda heavy for a mirrorless. The 20mm 1.7 pancake lens should fix that. I hope I can sell the kit lens for a reasonable price on craigslist or whatever.

Is the IBIS on the a6500 and full-frame Sonys any good/useful in an absolute sense? m4/3 bodies seem to have superior stabilization and I don't know if that's just an artifact of having a smaller sensor to stabilize, or whether Sony just sucks at IBIS and may improve later. Being able to take handheld shots at like 1/3-1/10 of a second negates a lot of light-gathering disadvantages of m4/3 for most things that are not action shots.

I had a scare with my new (used) A7 iii. I was showing off the big sensor at thanksgiving dinner and a tiny splash of soup got on it. Before it had a chance to dry, I used a tiny piece of paper towel to dab it off, and later went over it with microfibre and 99% isopropyl. There were a few spots left, so I had to get a proper cleaning solution & kit. In the end, all dust spots were cleaned off and there doesn't seem to be any damage done. Phew.

I was a total retard. Just wanted to share my brief misery. Good news is that my Sony Zeiss 55mm arrived today. Keeping this one well away from soup.

Verman posted:What kind of soup are we talking here? Matzo Ball? Chicken Noodle? or something like a chowder/bisque? Portuguese Bacalhao. It was one of those tiny aerosolized droplets from a spoon splash like 50cm away. I was relying on the existence of the protective glass for all these shenanigans. CMOS circuitry can't be directly exposed to air, nevermind soup.

windex posted:but awful in others (color reproduction) If one shoots raw, what affects color reproduction, aside from the lenses? Does the filter array in front of the sensor make that big a difference?

No love for the 20mm f/1.7 for m43? Sure the autofocus is slow and noisy (on an oly body anyway) but it's just so drat compact

Rime posted:I'm still rocking my OG EM5, it continues to deliver. It's a fantastic piece of hardware. I kept my E-M5 even after getting an A7III because of the increased portability (the IBIS is better too). Did you keep your kit lens? I have no sense of how it compares against other zooms (I mean, it's probably worse, but HOW much worse?). I'm considering replacing it with another catch-all zoom to complement the 20mm 1.7
