    Thanks Kraig, very helpful! I hope you can make a separate video about settings for the NEX-5R (and 5T) because it has a somewhat different button/dial layout.

    Finally something cheap. Hope I will not miss the viewfinder too much. I'm getting my nex5 tommorow. Got it for 124USD with a kit lens 18-55. I was hunting for lx100 or other Panasonic as my main camera is fz1000 (it will still stay for animals and planes), but the prices were too high.

    That’s super cheap for a lens. I would check out the Viltrox 20mm f/2.8 lens. It’s very good for the money, and has AF. It won’t be great for getting tight shots of sports, but would be great for street photography.
