I just got myself a shiny new Sony NEX-5R with the 16-50 powerzoom, in addition to my Alpha A200 that is starting to annoy me. Glasses + viewfinder doesn't work for me and the noise performance isn't great.

Really can't wait to try it out!

All those posting that they have gear and this thread and NOT posting in the digital gallery, will be banned by my invisible-nonexisting-gmod powers.
