Sorry I haven't posted the pics and videos of the NEX-5N as scheduled. Work has been taking a lot of my time.
Anyway, I just want to share what I think of the new NIKON mirrorless cameras. Kudos to Nikon for entering the mirrorless market. Hopefully the more manufacturers get into this market segment the better the products will get. I initially jumped to a conclusion that this camera is a 'joke' the minute after the announcement came out. Why only 10MP? and a smaller sensor than micro 4/3rds? and a 2.7x crop factor? Sony has a 24MP APS-C sized sensor (NEX-7). Maybe Nikon doesn't believe that 'bigger is better'.

After all the emotions/excitements died down, I re-read dpreview's initial impression initial impression of these cameras that maybe Nikon really is protecting their DSLR line-up. I wonder if Sony is doing the same, the NEX has been outselling the ALPHA line since its introduction and if this trent continues, Sony's flagship interchangeable system will be the NEX!
