[QUOTE="Silat Shooter, post: 59, member: 13"] Underneath, you're absolutely right about the proper pairing for the NEX is primes and pancakes. I think they will come, hopefully in the Zeiss name and quality level. The only reason I didn't go with the 16mm is I'm not really into wide angle shooting to make that my primary lens for the time being. Prefer 35, 50 and 90mm focal lengths for 90% of what I shoot. I can say that this system even with the kit lens is NOT at all like like small DSLR from the brands you named. I tried a Rebel for a small alternative to my big Full Frame Camera and lenses, the NEX is MUCH smaller and the kit lens is also noticably smaller than the kit lens that Canon makes. The NEX shoots and handles more like a P/S than a DSLR for sure. I can say that the UI is not as bad as reviewed. It's like working with an Ipod frankly. Once you know where to find ISO, White Balance, etc, it becomes fairly easy. I think those reviewers were/are accustomed to hardware dials and buttons. Not saying they are wrong, this camera has its quirks like any other product. I think there are many more positives here than negatives. The images at 3200 ISO are much better than anticipated. Thus far, my only real gripe is the shutter noise is louder than I like. I'd buy this again for sure. [/QUOTE]
