I am weak when it comes to camera gear purchases. The situation is made worse now that I don't have my old NEX-5N, which I am enamored of. It has excellent image quality and dynamic range. The Panasonic G1 that I am using now was a good camera, but I find that its high ISO capability leaves me wanting. The noise over ISO 400 looks like two generations behind the NEX-5N. In fact, it reminds me of the Canon 1Ds I used to have. Excellent low ISO, but noisy over ISO 400.
More than a few times I almost pulled the trigger and bought the NEX-6, but kept reminding myself that it would be cheaper after Christmas, and that the Panny G1 will tie me over. But, I have been spoiled by the NEX-5N. Sigh.
