I have some hard time persuading myself to run after this news, but it seems that several people remarked a kind of clickety-click that you can hear on the videos shot by the new Sony NEX-5N when you move the camera. Everything points at a sound produces inside the camera bod (it can be heard…

Is the Sony NEX-5 as good as a Leica M9?
This is the interesting question asked by Steve Huff on his blog. As a matter of fact, he took a Leica Noctilux ASPH f/0.95 lens on both the Leica M9, and the Sony NEX-5 (with an adapter).
