Trey Ratcliff: Nikon to Sony
Jul 24, 2013 18:04:02 #
If you've gotten Trey Ratcliff's latest newsletter, you know that he's switched from Nikon D800 to Sony NEX-7. This is not just a switch from one brand to another; it's a switch from one format to another. He much prefers the smaller size and lighter weight of a non-DSLR. Although he realizes that the NEX-7 is not for everyone, it is perfect for him. You can Google him and find the article. If I include a link here, the topic will be moved off the Main board.

With the excessive amount of post processing Trey does, I question whether or not it really matters what he shoots with. (I used to be a fan, but in the end I just find a lot of his stuff to be overcooked).

It is an intelligent person that chooses Sony.
I totally agree with you Chapjohn. I switched from Nikon to Sony when the A77 came out. Love the camera. I now also have the RX100 and like it very much.

I sold my Sony a-100 and Sigma 50-200 WAL on ebay,
bought a Nex-5n. I had almost mastered the A-100, but remain befuddled with the dials and gizmos in the NEX. I may be fighting it (mark me down as a hobbyist, although I use it in my real estate business); I would love a simplified guide to taking pictures in low light with the NEX.
I have had some really good shots, but the interiors are challenging. I do use fill flash, at least. Anybody want to volunteer ideal settings in low light? I bet the camera can do it.

A major complaint in the reviews of the NEX concerns controls, Menus, and the manual. Using it is not intuitive, and the manual is not much help.

Probably got tired of all the extra weight he was carrying around.

That's exactly it - weight and size.

Since when has that have anything to do with it when it comes to cameras? Lol. I don't remember if it was my Fuji or not, but the manual said "Product of Japan. Made in China. Printed in Mexico". That was a load of laughs. I gave up on the manual.A major complaint in the reviews of the NEX concerns controls, Menus, and the manual. Using it is not intuitive, and the manual is not much help.
