Exercising "Hand Held Twilight" mode on my NEX-3...
Lisandra, your Î± A55 should perform at least as good as this

Panther, I've been meaning to ask you, did you download the firmware? its supposed to make the nex way more accessible and I wanted your feedback. Then again I haven't checked if its available...

this is HHT in the dimmest of dim at ISO 6400, to put it into perspective, the GH1 at ISO 3200 needed a 12 second exposure!

same thing with the GH1 at ISO 1600.

That doesn't look like a very fair comparison.

Yeah, I see....in the competition between the camera and the computer, it is the computer that won.

It's unfair you're absolutely right, a bit more effort with the GH1 would have produced a better image than the sony. but it was like 2 am. Here are two more ISO 6400 HHT

The snake has +10 brightness in PS, the truck is straight from the camera (resized)

So it's obviously at least one stop better high-ISO performance than E-P1. Maybe two?

You let us know how it changes the interface. It could be huge enough to convert NEX haters

Every post that I've seen by a NEX user that has the update loves it......
