Whats your 1st Sony camera

[Joey-Austin]

Hello Sony family, I'm new to the Alpha Universe but have been a Sony shooter since 2012, my first Sony was nex 5n, and I still own it and sometimes use it, what really attracted me to it at the time was the size and the fast FPS, I was a shy photographer and didn't want to attract a lot of attention to myself when shooting outside, whats was your first Sony camera and why?

I had the a99 for about a month, and then the Sony a7 came out and I immediately switched to the mirrorless system.

That was a good camera, my eye was on the a77 but I never got one

My first was the A6000. I LOVED that camera and miss it.

That's a great camera, I had the Sony #Alpha 6000 (a6000) it was a great camera and it changed the camera industry for the better.

Does Sony Ericsson K750 counts? I bought that phone for the camera in 2005, a 2 MP fun tool at that time. And I still have it to this day.

If it doesn't count, then it's the A9ii for me. It is the AF that I needed to capture my kids and sports.

True. Then they were "phones", to call people to connect. Nonetheless, I love the new technology and how we get to conduct businesses on a small devices.

Yes they are more like computers now, back then every year was a big jump between models

My first Sony camera was the a850, my first Sony mirrorless was the original a7R. I switched to Sony from another brand and loved the lenses.

That's cool, since you were A mount full frame moving to E mount, did you get the LA EA4? if yes how is it and do you still use it?

I did get it, it worked well. I don't have it any longer and I am only using E mount glass now

The first picture I got published was with #Alpha 6000 (a6000) and A mount 18-250 using the LA EA2, I still have the lens but not the adapter and thinking about getting another adapter and put it back to work, specially with #Alpha 7R V (Alpha7RV) I can get 26 Megapixel images with it, I'm thing about getting the LA EA5

The LA-EA5 look like an excellent adapter

I remember when the NEX-7 came out it was crazy good and I always wanted one, but ended up getting NEX 5n

They were great cameras, but they were very large!!

Switched over from Canon Joey - looking back I more than made the right choice!

I have 2 friends shooting with Nikon and I used to use there camera to see if I missed anything, I'm more than happy with the choice of being a Sony shooter

My first real camera was the Sony A550 and then about a year later I upgraded to the Sony A900!
