New Tool / Toy

I have used the Sony NEX5 with the kit lens 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 for a
couple of days. So far I have enjoyed its light weight and small size
though the lens seems too large for the petite body, overall the kit
is quite small for an interchangeable lens camera. I like the auto
panorama feature and the high dynamic range. The best thing about it
is the video auto focus. It works like a regular camcorder. Will
post a more in-depth review after I've used the gadget for a bit
longer.
