Ted's Miscellaneous Mirrorless Marauding

OK. I've taken a bite of the apple.

I wasn't ready to jump into the mirrorless pond, but it was a local deal I couldn't pass up.

A like-new NEX-F3 with the 18-55mm lens and SD card, in the box, for $200.

We'll see how I like it.

It will be replacing my LX7 as a take everywhere, keep-in-the-car camera. (I'm giving the LX7 to Bill to play with.)

Bigger ASP-C sensor, 50% more MP; but it doesn't have the Leica 1.4 lens of the LX7.

It's not the A7II that I'm really interested in, but like I said, it was a deal I couldn't pass up.

More to come later today.

So kind of you to give Bill your old camera. Love when that happens. Good luck with your NEX. Hopefully you'll stll get the A7 II when it comes out.

Well, the camera is in excellent condition and could be new.

I took it to a huge mall, figuring lots of color and different scenes.

I know this camera is far from the top of the line and I wasn't expecting D800 results. And, my expectations were correct. I'm going to chaulk today's results up to my inexperience with the camera. With that said, I would describe everything so far as "noisy". I don't believe my smaller sensored LX7 would have been nearly as noisy. I'm going to read the manual any keep with this NEX. If it turns out to be a dud, I know I can get my 200 clams back on eBay. Here's the (for lack of a better term) results from today....

RETRACTION! RETRACTION!

It's funny how prejudices can play with your mind. I decided to take back-to-back, side-by-side, photos to prove the LX7 (with a fancy-schmancy Leica lens) took better photos than my new NEW mirrorless camera. Well, all I proved is that I'm a bad man. I pre-judged the Sony before I even gave it a chance. I'm sorry Sony. Can you forgive me?

LX7.....
