And I'm happy with my Canon S90 as a carry-everywhere. But the NEX-5 is attractive. Tiny, but with an APS-C sensor. Low noise, even at 1,600. But the only prime is a 16/2.8, which is a 24 equiv on an APS-C. Makes for a camera that's smaller than 4/3rds cameras with a prime. But 16mm doesn't make sense to me. Too wide for an all-purpose prime. I'll look again if Sony adds a 24/2 (35 equiv). --John ****************************** John Edwin Mason, Photography: http://www.JohnEdwinMason.com Charlottesville and Cape Town
