Joey-Austin Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 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?

IraBlock Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I had the a99 for about a month, and then the Sony a7 came out and I immediately switched to the mirrorless system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LensBrew Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
