Phew, I'm glad I made a mistake. Thanks!

Nauticam February 5th announcement: "Nauticam is also pleased to announce support for the new Sony 10-18mm f/4 WA zoom with a special 7” dome (part 36128) and zoom gear (part 36173). Another industry first is a new Macro/Zoom Control Port 45 (part 36127) with a focus/zoom knob to support the new Sony 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 retractable zoom."

I assume the 7" dome port will cost about the same as the $999 one for the 7-14mm. Does $1k buy you a glass or acrylic dome?

Any price on the port for the 16-50mm power zoom yet? Does it get a mini dome or a flat port?

Since we all have different needs and priorities, there is really no such thing as a "BEST" camera! Make a list of your needs and must-have features and then try out as many cameras as possible to see which one is the best for "YOU"!

I decided on the NEX system simply because it was (still is) the only one that could meet all of my work and vacation requirements for stills and videos. My reasonings and links to reviews here: http://www.alyudesig...sony_nex5n.html

The NEX-6 and 5R now feature on-sensor phase-detection autofocus, capable of tracking moving subjects better than the contrast-detection systems. 10-18mm samples look really good, love the focus peaking feature, and the NEX system has a full frame upgrade path.

I think the camera settings is flawed as f11 on dslr and on a compact is not equivelant due to the difference in lens/camera size. What is the max an min apt on the Sony? Perhaps take the optimum setting on both as apposed to the same settings....


Both NEX-6 and D90 use APS-C sensors so identical F-stop must be used or else the comparison will be biased.

To be fair you should compaire the d7000 to the sony.


Since 5N uses pretty much identical 16MP sensor as the newer NEX-6 with on-sensor PDAF sensors, this comparison gives you some idea how the NEX high-iso IQ in general compares to the current Nikon dSLR: NEX vs. D7000 (uses Sony 16MP sensor) vs. D4 vs. D600 (uses Sony 24MP FF sensor) Switching to RAW comparison is easy.

Congratulation!

Please let us know how the autofocus performs, comparing to your Nikon D90.

Here's a video, showing how the 5N contrast detection video autofocus performs, going from foreground to background subjects, using the center focus point. With the NEX-6 on a tripod, can the new PDAF transition a little faster than CDAF under similar condition for video?
