From time to time readers send me links to their best work done with Sony cameras. And I am glad to share them here on SAR! Here is the list:
Luca: “I am doing a 365 project at http://366nex.blogspot.com. It is focused on using solely the NEX-7 as awalkaround, life-companion, multi-purpose camera. I hope you will enjoy it. As you’ll see in the blog, if you’ll like to visit it, I am using the NEX-7 for many (and very) different purposes, so you’ll find bit of studio photography, street photography, candids, portraits, and night shots.”
Mattia: “AutoMotoRetrò 2012 video on Youtube“
Marc: “I got my NEX5 converted to infrared by Lifepixel in the US (300$) it works terrific, it works also for video. here is a sample test http://youtu.be/Ff-T8aEyFA4 I will be using it in the coutryside during my holidays”
Tino: “Ich habe soeben nach längerer Zeit wieder einmal ein paar Bilder auf meinen Flickr-Account hoch geladen. Aller diese Fotos wurden im Bodensee gemacht.
Folgende Ausrüstung kam zum Einsatz: Sony NEX-5N. Nauticam NA-NEX5 Unterwassergehäuse (Umgebaut auf NEX-5N). Sony E 30mm F3.5 macro. Nauticam Marcro Port 45. INON D-2000 Blitz. Hier der Link zu den Bildern: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tdphoto-ch/sets/72157629567407365/“
Tomer: “I just wanted to share my Sony experience with you… I’m a filmmaker, based in Tel-Aviv. I was recently comissioned to direct a launch video for the NYC company, Boxee (www.boxee.tv). The shoot called for a high quality, low footprint camera system, adapted for first-person POV purposes. After much testing and deliberation, myself and the DoP chose the Sony Nex-5N+16mm lens+wide adapter, and have never looked back since… The camera performed admirably, in a wide variety of scenarios (no heating issues whatsoever), and the client was very happy with the end result 🙂 :

On a side note, I purchased the camera after the shoot, and managed to locate a vintage Olympus 38mm Pen-F lens for it. It never leaves my camera, and has really transformed my still photography experience. As and avid music fan, I do some concert photography, and it serves my purposes beautifully:

Great stuff! It’s good to see other users and there production work with Sony gear.
My first DSLR camera was the a700. The first time I used it I fell in love with it. I love the grip, the functionality of the camera and the quality of the images with good glass. Now I have been using mostly the a900 and the nex-5n. I can’t wait to see what FF camera Sony will come out with.
You can see some of my work with the a700 and a900 http://www.jakop.com

Do you think Sony will ever get in to the medium-format market or is it a pipe dream?
Jakop, you work is awesome, thanks for sharing!
Nice job readers!
A side note: Why would a NYC company outsource this?
This is not outsourcing, dear.

looks like you forgot to mention my freeride video, mostly done with the A65:

Beautifully put together, I love the music combined with the amazing scenery, Nice edit. What did you use to keep the a65 steady, was it hand held or a shoulder mount?
thanks! 🙂
all scenes were shot handheld, just needed a little bit of stabilizing in final cut pro x, that’s all. steadyshot works great!
Here are some of my efforts with a Nex-5 and lots of old glass (see tags & descriptions)….
Comments are welcome!

Dope!!
Hi, I bought my Sony NEX-5n because of this website and I use it almost only for shooting skiing. https://vimeo.com/39711318
Nice reel!
I assume that the AA filter is bonded to the sensor; sure would be nice to remove it. (But at least with removing the IR you can add a front filter to perform the same function…Although I wonder if there are any difficulties getting an exact match of the filtering properties?
