NEX-5N has better ISO performance, better DR, and bigger sensor. If you are fine with the Sony lens line up, then the NEX is much better than the G3. The G3 only has the lens selection.

I think I will buy the Panasonic Lumix ZS3 hybrid camera when more positive reviews are available, probably in April. It has stereo sound recording, usable zoom while taking video and 3" 460K resolution LCD. The only minor drawback with it is it does not support manual mode. There is no RAW mode too at this time, but that's software and they can easily add that later in new firmware. It also costs about $50 more than the SX200.Of course the SX1 IS is better, but that is a different class of camera and too bulky for light traveling.

Based on brand, i would go for the panasonci lumix... I do not go for sony because they have their own stick which makes their products so pricey. I am gadgetholic owning several cameras, kodak, samsung, canon, and panasonic. I used to prefer kodak for their price and simplicity, and then i found out panasonic although reluctantly since i consider it a little bit pricey. Then earning a little more, I gifted myself with a canon - and my favorite of all.. PANASONIC!!!

The G6, hands down. I compared the cameras head to head and the NEX-6 had better stills but the G6 had significantly better video.

http://www.photographyblog.com/reviews/nikon_coolpix_p520_review/image_quality/ I havent tried the Nikon but this Sony is pretty good in low light video , no zoom noise ,its pretty quiet . But I believe for big portraits, full fledge photographers wont recomment this Sony model but I wont be blowing up pictures with this camera. The Fz200 is a panasonic model has a shutter speed of 15 seconds while Nikon is 8 seconds, so I would say Nikon is better but Sony has 4 seconds shutter speed , so for night photgraphy Sony is the best in the group .

I have a Gh1 and three Olympus ep1, ep3, and an Omd, regarding photography all this Cameras are better than Panasonic, on video part always Panasonic is better! But you said slower what do you mean by that? Focusing speed in OMD is very fast but it is not like a DSLR camera!, it is fast engh for street photography beside it has in body stablizer which is amazing and it is dust and weather resistant ( body and the kit lens ) read more about them in many photo blogs and pick the one which is better for your need!.

Can't help you specifically on the 3N, but can tell you both focus peaking and shutter release w/o lens works on 5R. Aperture control also works great.

Nex vg10 has a very good recording (I have one of this), but it is obsolete. Now is the VG20. VG10 make a good pictures too, but it is not a photocamera, It depends if you like to take more pictures than video or not. If your target is the video, of course vg10, if your target is pictures, then canon

I think both are great for video and stills. I chose the Lumix because I work with a Panasonic GH3. Prime lenses are better for definition and color

I am a fan of the Sony. Here is a site that I have found helpful with a stat comparison. The sensor in the Sony is also in the much more expensive Nikon d5000 and d7000 and the Pentax k5. Sony makes the sensors, I think this gives you just too much bang for your buck, this sensor is very good at low light, one of the major reasons I am upgrading from a superzoom myself. http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/Cameras/Compare-Camera-Sensors

I got my G2 last week and have been enjoying it very much. Before purchasing G2, I was thinking of Gf1. But, after thinking about several months (yes, months), I finally understand the appearance of small camera body is deceiving. The quality, the size and the cost of the lens dictate the buying decision for those who want to take good pictures. After that, the usablity of the camera is more important than the size of the camera body. If Sony Nex-5 has a small-size high-quality lens, I might consider it. But, from the professional review, it seems to me that the manual control is strongly discouraged. It appears to many people that Sony Nex-5 is targeting P&S crowd who wants a better camera. The market size is bigger. So, it seems to be a smart move. After all, making money is more important than making cameras. But, the topics of this discussion is the comparison between G2 and Nex-5. I think it is more appropriate to compare Gf1 and Nex-5. Those who buy G2 are those who consider the usability more important than size. For these people, Nex-5 is not favorable. Between Gf1 and Nex-5, I think I would still prefer Gf1 with the pancake lens over Nex-5. This is because Nex-5's manual control is not readily reachable. If it is mostly used as a P&S camera, it is way too expensive and too big. The only advantage to have a large sensor and a large lens in a P&s camera is to take pictures in low light condition. For these type of users, the size of the lens on nex-5 would not be appealing at all. So, who are the buyers Nex-5 is really targeting? We will have to wait and see.

They're both great little cameras, and each has its strengths. I'd have a hard time choosing between them. http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/Q408enthusiastgroup/page11.asp

I would go for the middle (B) range and not even interchangeable lens if not worthed. So: apart from price, loving fidelity in colours and proportions (I hate "postcard" photos), and speed, what between:Sony Nex 5NsOlympus E-PM1Panasonic GF3 (if better than G3, otherwise please tell me)?Any non interchangeble lens as worthed as those? (Olympus XZ-1?)Eventually, thanks a loT

I think both are great cameras...Canon seems to perform a little better, but the difference is very slight, this, according to the reviews I read...I think the bottom line is; Canon performs a little better, the LCD screen can be moved, and it has a hot shoe for a better flash unit, but Panasonic has RAW format and HD video, and also, the zoom can be used with the video format, something most cameras don't have...I guess since both are equally good, you should buy the one you feel more comfortable with, or you like the most...you can't go wrong with either one...Good luck!!
