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.

Wow, nice to see someone with Olympus gear!

If you don't mind me asking, what type of insurance do you have for your gear?

Just listed on the household contents insurance, and for travelling, protect my bubble premium/platinum as it covers us and whatever equipment we decide to take.

I have not really acquired much since this photo was taken, just a flash (SB-700)

    • watching him because of the Mr Klinton cat
    • yup dude, ADS on this website are terrible
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
