Thanks for the link.

Thanks for the links. They were very helpful.

Thanks for the information.

I'm new and not familiar with the site. I tried to find a search box to look for this camera and didn't see one.

I'm looking into possibly buying the above Sony. What are people's opinions about the Sony technology and the NEX 5R?

Thanks for the information. I will start where you suggested and go from there. I'll ask questions when I know more.

I am very new to photography. I'm a textile artist and also a digital painter. I find that I want to use photographs in my digital art work.

Right now I have an inexpensive little point and shoot digital camera. Obviously, I need to upgrade.

I've done some looking around and am not sure where to start.

Should I start with a high end camera, that still has auto sets. Do I really need a DSLR?

Any information will be appreciated.
