thanks Jay, as a serious video tool, the new firmware just released, and the crazy deal available at BH right now, I would totally go with the GH2 as an all rounder, you can use it in a professional situation, seriously you can’t show up with the 5n alone on a job. As for image quality, in headlines, the 5N shines for beauty, fashion, weddings, anything glamour related, and is a bit better in low light then the GH2, however, sound unusable (much better on GH2) and overall, you have physical controls and sharper/higher resolution output with the GH2, definitely a much better all round camera, so if you shoot a lot of skin and don’t need sound, go with the 5N, for everything else, GH2.

Hey Mike… great stuff.. Since you have the chance to use both the GH2 and NEX-5N, which would you say is the best all around camera for the money (since they are comparatively priced). My work centers around video primarily but I enjoy photography as a way to see things from a slightly different (still) perspective. Also, would you say the larger sensor on the 5N really creates a noticeable difference in shallow depth shots. Look forward to your reply… keep up the good work.

I think the Sony Nex-5n would be ideal to compliment my EX1. The best of both worlds.
