In manual mode, or what I've been using more aperture priority, my lens does auto focus too, but I think I either have the shutter speed too slow causing shake, or I just have really unsteady hands bc when I zoom up really close on the screen it't not 100% clear. I set the lens to autofocus, then manual fine tune. When it does that, the viewfinder super zooms up on the center of the frame and you can really get in there and get it really sharp. I was successful a few times at home pointing it at my speakers. LOL but you could see all the little holes and they were very clear.

Next I need to get a tripod.

Anyway, this is the camera I got. Amazon.com : Sony NEX-7 24.3 MP Mirrorless...Amazon.com : Sony NEX-7 24.3 MP Mirrorless...
And I also got this zoom lens. http://www.ebay.com/itm/151137949754...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT I see he raised the price by $35 since I bought mine!

I got a deal on both, just under $400 for the camera and kit lens and $200 for the zoom lens which came with 3 filters, hood, lens cap "leash", and cleaning kit.

What are you thoughts on filters? I read to just keep the UV filter on as an extra layer of protection for you lens.
