Actually, my wife is considering buying this camera, so I thought I'd ask here if you folks think this would be a good purchase for us.
As background, we currently have a Sony Alpha 700 DSLR with an 18-200mm zoom lens that takes, in our opinion, beautiful pictures. We are not photography enthusiasts who know all about cameras either generally or technically, and aren't even familiar with all the capabilities of different settings and functions. We are more "point and shoot" types, who enjoy getting good pictures with our cameras. We do use the zoom feature quite a bit.
We are wondering if we would get pictures with similar quality to our A700 out of this NEX-5N with the lens adapter that would allow us to use the same zoom lens as on our A700. This would be in a much smaller package, which would be nice for traveling. The reviews don't help me in this type of comparison, so I would appreciate your thoughts.
