Sony NEX6

I am about to bite the bullet and get a DSLR...I remember my film days and took much better pics and with more thought then that now with my Canon G12 and Panasonic FZ35. I always thought today's DSLRs as big, bulky and heavy...but this NEX6 is small enough to fit in my front pack while hiking and I am excited...it will be here Tuesday! Anyone use one and how do you like it? Would love some feedback...

The Sony NEX6 is not a DSLR, it is a CSS or Compact System Camera. In plain language, a compact camera with an interchangeable lens. It has an electronic viewfinder, not an optical viewfinder and does not have a mirror box. It's a good choice for hiking.

The n6 is a very competent camera in some respects better than the 7, the basic difference between the two are the navi controls and the 24mp sensor, not a big deal as the 16mp is no slouch. You picked well my friend time for a dos Equis.......

I use the NEX series for my normal to wide angle work and Canon for tele work. The in camera sweep panorama and HDR are game changing !

I bought the Sigma 30/2.8, and am quite happy with it.

Thanks for posting this link. I found it very helpful since I recently bought a NEX 5N and have never used a Sony before. I may have bitten off more than I can chew but I do enjoy learning. The Sigma 30 sounds like a lens I could really use. Where did you buy yours? Thanks in advance for your input.

They are now on Amazon in stock for $149!
That is now my default source, as I have an Amazon credit card that earns points with purchases.
