Being small has it's advantages however, in being more portable. If I'm going out these days with my Sony kit I only need a smallish shoulder bag and that carries 2 x Nex-5N and one Nex-7 cameras. I don't like changing lenses and I use the Nex series primarily as my prime lens kit. Two reasons for this, as I'm sure you can guess, firstly the Nex lenses aren't really all that good and secondly I use the peaking function (or is it spelled peeking?) all the time. I think it's a great feature and all future cameras will come out with something very similar incorporated into them. It's an invaluable feature, especially when using very wide or telephoto lenses. The reason I say that is because when using prime lenses on my Olympus E-PL1 I don't have any problems when a 50ish lens is attached (100 = 35mm) but When I mount a 135mm lens (270mm = 35mm) that I do tend to struggle somewhat. Furthermore, since using the Sony Nex cameras with the peaking function I have notice that I have more difficulty using the Olympus models. Maybe I'm becoming lazy or my eyes aren't what they used to be (probably both).
Three: It's better to get the camera parallel to the trees or forest or whatever you're shooting. The image then "looks" and "feels" right.
Lens stopped down to it's smallest aperture (high number).
Even at these settings the shutter speed was 0.6sec. Not really what I wanted but it did the job. A pol filter would have helped here as it can slow the shutter speed down by up to 2 stops. That would have made for a 2 second exposure. That would have been much better.
I'm still pleased with the image though and I'm sure I'll be trying these type of images again soon.
