It turns out that the nex 5r's micro usb is completely stripped out. This takes out a massive amount of functionality (all of the wifi capabilities due to unsupported old firmware that I can't update, and charging through the input) So If I can't get it fixed on the cheap then I'm returning it...

Are there any you recommend that are better than the kit it comes with? I'm probably going to hold off on a new lens until I better understand how I like to take pictures but if there is something cheap and really good then I might splurg at some point.

Thanks! Definitely a good read for a beginner like me. I get to use all these settings on my s6, but the rules clearly apply differently to real cameras.

I've narrowed down my search to 2 cameras, the NEX-5K or the Nikon d3100, both of which I can afford, which one should I get? UPDATE: I went with the NEX 5R with the full lens kit in case anyone cares. It seemed to be the no-compromises option (mostly) between the two and in a compact package...

There is the nex-5k that is 14.2 mp then the nex-5n/r that is 16.1. I'm pretty sure that each iteration has a completely different sensor

well i figured since one is newer it would be a better camera, but if its the same thing then I'll probably jump on the 14.2 mp one

How much better are the 16.1 mp versions than the 14.2 mp ones? I can get a body + 18-55mm lens kit 14.2 mp for $130, or the same thing with the 16.1 mp for $200

Is there anything wrong with DSLR's? I have a galaxy s6 and try to do a lot of photography with it but it just doesn't have enough settings, the lens kits for smartphones aren't great, the OIS isn't good and it doesnt have an sd card slot. I'm able to get more impressive shots with with my 10...

I guess i underestimated how much a good cheap lens kit would be, really I would like to keep the whole thing under $150

I've been wanting to get into photography but want to start on a tight budget. I'm willing to spend $100 on a camera body but don't know where to look and don't know what lenses and adapters I need. The only suggestion I've been interested in is the Sony NEX-5 body for $100, but don't know what...

I'm thinking about trying out the l5640. Does anyone here have experience with it? It runs a 19x multiplier and if it can run 220 bclk like the l5639 it might be a decent chip. Or would the x5650 be better overall?

That's interesting, maybe he means this time there won't be a gimmick. I'm not a fan of the idea of having another handheld, but I see the market for it.

An amd apu cellphone might be pretty good though

my mental math sucks, but it's a 25% increase, still a beefy overclock, but I can see how it would happen.. still the 7950 and 760 are very close when compared to the higher end cards

Let's not get ahead of ourselves, there is no way to get stock 280x performance out of a 7950, that would require almost a 50% increase in performance, which is way too big of an overclock for that card. My 760 is currently overclocked to 1350 core 7200 memory, a 22% core increase and 17% memory...
