Hi all,
I am racked by indecision and hope someone can help! I am selling my NEX-5N - although the IQ is great, I never really got to grips with the controls and menus, or the size of the kit lens to be honest. So I had narrowed my choice down for a replacement to something more compact and with more manual controls, namely the X10. But now the X20 is coming out and the new features look great, and I am also looking at the X100 for the even better viewfinder and APS-C sensor. I know I will buy one of these, the question is which one? Purely financially I should shut up and buy the X10 for £299, but I can stretch to about £500 so both the X100 and X20 are in play... So what do I photograph - I intend to use the new camera for garden photography including macro, architectural shots, and generally "arty" photos that I can see need more control when I'm out and about on country walks. I don't print (or very rarely) and generally view my photos on my 1680x1050 iMac screen. For general travel photography I have my Sony HX20V which is a very neat little device.
Any thoughts would be welcome; I'm sure there are others who have gone through this choice or are facing it themselves now!
Thanks
Martin
