I am wondering, How much of a difference is there between the Nex-5T, and the Nex-6? Not having much luck finding me a solid answer.

1. NEX-6 has a built-in viewfinder. In my opinion, this is a major deal breaker. I am not able to see what's going on in the LCD screen during strong sunlight. I need this EVF. NEX-5T + EVF 2. NEX-5T has a proprietary shoe that only accepts the NEX accessories. NEX-6 has a standard shoe.3. NEX-5T has a touchscreen which can turn 180 degree. The screen on NEX-6 is not touchscreen. Also, it cannot flip 180 degree.4. NEX-6 has built-in flash while the one for NEX-5TL is external.5. NEX-5TL has both wifi and NFC. NEX-6 has only wifi. Based on #1 to #4, I bought a NEX-6.

The main difference is that the nex-6 has a viewfinder and the nex-5t does not. The Nex-5t is more compact. The nex-6 has a standard shoe for a flash but the nex-5t has a proprietary shoe that only accepts the nex compact flash. Otherwise, they have the same sensor and autofocus system.

Aside from the previously stated comparisons, the video output from the Nex-5t seems smoother to me than the Nex-6. The Nex-5t is smaller but this is more apparent when looking at them side by side. It's enough of a difference that I chose to trade the Nex-6 for the Nex-5t to have a semi pocketable camera. If that isn't a concern, the Nex-6 has a bit more ease in controls with the mode dial, extra button on the back, and the quick menu that is accessed through the function button.

Yes, this is the successor to the NEX 6 and 7, at least for the time being. There is no A7000 or higher model currently publicly announced, and while there could be in the future, it is merely speculation at this point. If you are looking to upgrade your NEX 7 now, this is the model.

Len is smaller, not better. Value wise, Used Nex 6 at $400+ is great. Good lens keeps value, not camera.

I replaced my Canon 60d and smaller Sony A55 with an Olympus E-P3. I've owned several intro/mid-level dSLRs, and I would say the E-P3 was my favorite camera of all time. My pictures were amazing, it was fast, and best of all was that it was truly portable - perfect for my hiking trips. Were you mainly using the camera in auto mode? I always used it in manual, so can't really tell you how good or bad the camera did in 'A' mode - but in manual mode it was nearly perfect. The lenses you use may also play a role. My favorite lens of all time had been (maybe still is) the Canon 24-70mm lens, and I thought I would never find something that worked just as well, but I came across the Panasonic 14-140mm lens, which is super amazing, and became my favorite and main lens for the E-P3. The lack of viewfinder was never an issue for me, since I used the VF-2 view finder by Olympus. Sure, I was never happy using the E-P3 without the viewfinder, so I kept it on most of the time. I did sell the E-P3 on Ebay soon after the OM-D was announced. I figured that if the E-P3 had become my favorite camera of all time, getting the OM-D would be a no brainer since the specs are better than the E-P3 and it included a built in viewfinder. I have used an NEX-5 (first gen) in the past, and I must say I hated that camera due to how hard it made to shoot in 'M' mode; however, Sony released the NEX-7, a nearly perfect camera targeted towards potential dSLR owners. Deciding between the NEX-7 and the OM-D is a challenge, and they each have their pluses and negatives; however, those looking to replace a dSLR for some trips, shouldn't consider anything other than the OM-D(m4/3) or NEX-7(e-mount) for the time being; although, I bet Panasonic has something in the works to compete with Sony and Olympus.

Sorry, I am not familiar with the Sony nex 5t. It does work well with my Cannon T3i.

I have used this battery in my NEX-5. I don't know if there is much difference in the camera's besides price. The battery I purchased gives the same amount of use and un-use as the original battery.

I use an NEX 7 and it works fine. Ask your question on the dpreview forums where there is a lot of A7 talk.

Dear M Yamamoto, sorry to disturb you again, but your opinion is precious.In the above situation, please where do you locate Sony Nex 7 and where is Leica in all this and vs Panasonic?Deep thanks

The 6 is much better for the exact reasons you mention. The VF alone is worth it. I'd never own another camera without one.

My understanding is that the L refers to the lens and the B refers to the camera body. So an NEX 6 L/B would come with the lens and the body, whereas the NEX 6 B would come with the body and no lens.

I have an S95 which has is basically similar internally to the G12. It's far better indoors and in low light than my Nex 5 which produces very dull pictures lacking color indoors without a flash. The Nex 5 18/55 has a 3.5 lens therefore let's far less light into the sensor.

I have both, 5D III and 6D I primarily shoot video on both but if you want the extreme quick accurate focus of the 5D you will pay the price. The 6D is fine, just does not have as many focus points and processor for stills.Additionally, the 6 D offers some "auto" functions that would appeal to a more semi-pro. Both shoot world class video.

Alpha are usually the bigger / heavier ones, nex (3,5,6 and 7 at this time) are mirrorless and lighter...I would suggest seeing them at the stores first then look online esp here at amazon for great deals. Usually bundles are the great deals esp with additional lenses which are not cheap and hardly goes on sale. Sony did a great thing with the a7 which kind of combines the alpha and nex though not cheap...oh and the lens mount are different with the 2 also but they have an adapter you can buy. Nobody said photography is cheap :-) hope this helps...

I have the Nex 6 and I cannot tell any difference between this EVF and that on the NEX 6 - including in low light.

I have an NEX 6 and yes I get a shadow. Removing the petal from the lens helps some. Holding the built in flash to bounce the light up helps too. But I bo a Metz hot shoe mount speed light and my flash photography is much better

Absolutely yes. Sharp to the edges, etc. I've moved up to the Sony A7r and "full format" lenses because i was so impressed with NEX 6. I sold my Canon 5D III kit. I am waiting for the full frame E-mount so now have my Zeiss 12mm for sale on ebay. Good price!

As a previous owner of D600, I think I can honestly answer this question. In my opinion, I love XT1 a lot more than D600. XT-1 performs a lot better in low light and also has beautiful colors that easily beats Nikon. X-T1's burst mode and focus tracking is amazing as well. Hope this helps.
