I am looking at Sony NEX 5N or Olympus E-PL3?

Which one should I go with?

Other system that I should consider?

Thanks.

 

How do you intend to use your camera? What do you shoot or intend to shoot more than anything else?

 

baby pictures everywhere, at home, for outside, for travelling ..

 

I really like the GH2. Is that too large for you?

The Sony Nex cameras seem really nice if you don't mind the lack of a viewfinder.

The Ricoh GXR cameras are extremely good, but may be a bit on the expensive for some.

Be sure the camera you select has a fast and accurate Auto Focus and most any will work.

 

GH1 is kinda big, but let me check it out

I looked at NEX-5N, but it lacks in-body IS, which would makes lenses more expensive if I want IS.

GXR is ... not cheap for sure

I am actually leaning more towards FujiFilm X10. Its a simple (as in not-interchangeable lens) point and shot with a big sensor and fast lens.

I do have a D80 and a few lenses. I just found it too big to carry around when going out and travel (even at home sometimes) cause I usually need to manage multiple tasks at the same time.

the only thing I am not 100% sure is the manual zoom lens. cause i still kinda need both hands to operate the camera. i thought about S100 but the lens is small (slow). and then XZ-1 is almost nice, but it only takes 720p movie and some complains about its noise reduction.

 

Sony NEX 5N

my pics over the weekend with Sony NEX 5N:

 

nice pix, i ended up with the Fuji X10. It doesn't have interchangeable lens. But I kinda like it cause it doesn't become *another* money sink hole

 

thx. those are quick, no-tripod, 10 min picture session while meeting up with my buddy for some other reason than a photoshoot.

i'm not a professional, but I love taking pics everywhere. DSLR is too large for me to carry around, and if i did go with DSLR, i figured I would only use it for a week and it will end up in my closet.

the Sony fit the bill for me and the picture quality is more than high enough to surprise me everytime.

 

There are pro's who don't shoot that good. Nice photos. Nice cars.

 

Maybe one or two.
