They ceased production of the NEX series? Good thing I bought my NEX 5 before the stock run out. I love everything about it. It is almost as small as any point and shoot but the quality is as great as most DSLRs out there. 14 megapixels, full hd recording, interchangeable lenses, what's not to like about it? Oh, and the panorama sweep. everything is sweet. And to make it sweeter, the price is not that bad either.
