Cool! How's the quality of the Canon lens adapter? Does it offer focus confirmation?

That camera looks awesome! Give us a review soon

Jason Hermann

Thanks for the comments guys! The build quality of the adapter is very good! I have yet to try and take a picture with any Canon lenses or the adapter though. I just took the shots while I had the lights all set-up. I don't think I will get a focus look confirmation, but I could be wrong I'll let you know as soon as I try it!!

Best,
Jay

Very cool!! Do yourself a favor and get a couple extra batteries for your trip!! The Nex cameras eat batteries

Here is another adapter that just came out I'm really interested as it supports electronic apertures and IS!!

What you should get is focus peaking so those parts of the field that are in focus will be outlined. I think this should be very useful for manual focusing with a narrow depth of field.

NEX-7 should be an awesome camera for you.
I have been looking at getting one my self.
Congrats!

Hey,

Could I ask where you ordered from?

Wondering if it is from one of the big US dealers - a sign that stock might be starting to arrive.

Thanks, but it's not mine. I'm just reviewing it and then returning it to BHPhotoVideo. I would not mind owning one at all however!! It's awesome.

Yes as seen in the videos above.

BHPhotoVideo.com, If you pre-order your on the list. That is your best bet at this point. I actually got mine before they allowed pre-orders. I just happen to be at my Mac when the email popped up saying the Nex-7 became available! I called my guy and he held it for me, the other 5 were gone in less than 5 minutes. I got incredible lucky to say the least
