That's why it's such a pain that I need to push the magnify button twice to activate it. Also the shutter button is way too sensitive. Very slight touch would reset the magnified view.Lens Bubblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06445561503570800312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4577546745078520453.post-69428261005314596812014-06-05T07:21:13.450-04:002014-06-05T07:21:13.450-04:00I agree, exact same reason why I got it.
Two main ...I agree, exact same reason why I got it.<br />Two main problems for me the EVF being not quite good enough to tell critical focus (it is no better than a standard focusing screen on a DSLR) and that leads to the other, I need to use magnification which is slow (but still way better than not having it).<br />I might even prefer the NEX5N for this purpose even though there is less stability and daytime visibility it is just more intuitive to touch-magnify, focus and half-press to verify framing quickly and fire. The menu button and some other things are just easier to access despite having less controls.<br />Couple of other small issues like the lousy-feeling and slightly awkwardly placed shutter button (with a soft button it is now a bit better) and some other functions could be assigned to the buttons and controls if there are so many of them (for instance, I would like to change the ISO with one of the upper dials in A mode, lower dial is in the way and easy to turn, but otherwise it is slow to change) but Sony does not care much with firmware updates, they just leave it out until the next generation.<br /><br />On the plus side, the viewfinder and mount placement does enable acceptable balance even with heavier lenses (or a battery grip can be added as well), that makes it versatile and the sensor is truly state of the art.padamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13498778731661133668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4577546745078520453.post-70419665908732781062014-06-05T07:03:18.988-04:002014-06-05T07:03:18.988-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.padamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13498778731661133668noreply@blogger.com
