[QUOTE="sabby, post: 1801780, member: 27095"] Yep, you can store 6 important settings for quick access from the Fn button. I've kept Af/MF/DMF select, DRO, WB, Creative Style, AF mode and Metering mode in mine. Upon clicking the button, you get direct access to the settings instead of just being short cuts. Don't forget the control dial - it controls shutter speed / aperture in respective modes and in manual mode you can use the dial and the wheel for those in tandem :) The touch screen works as advertised for focus. I'm rather glad they used resistive screen for better accuracy. I've used the auto HDR method, it works well but I still prefer manual bracketing - personal choice. Haven't used the HHT mode yet, will check. I will get the Sigma 30mm so won't get the expensive SEL35. I do not shoot much portraits so holding on the SEL50 so far - may get the rumored 85mm potrait/macro instead when released or the newly announced Sigma 60mm. I don't see much use of OSS in portrait fl, it just increases the cost and size. The kit lens is enough for video. I'll closely observe the DR in detail in the following weeks, so far the samples I've seen are the best among the APS-C sensors. I wouldn't advise you to get the fuji XE-1, jpeg rendering is the best but when you are spending almost twice of an NEX 6, you are gonna expect it to be an all rounder which it isn't as I've heard. The NEX-5R jpegs looks pretty good to me. Besides, there aren't much lenses available for XE-1 here and even if they become available, they will cost twice of the e-mount lenses. The white balance looks spot on so far. You might have noticed in the sunset shots that it didn't try to compensate the warm colors like other DSLRs. I haven't used the camera enough to comment about the metering but I tend to leave the EV settings at +1/3 in harsh daylight - I'll update later after extensive usage. The store manager told me that day that Sony India are planning to launch 8 new e-mount lenses (including the 55-210mm). [/QUOTE]
