Not that I like a camera of NEX proportions. :)<br /><br />MarkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5630829423345055973.post-78547609399345091282011-03-07T22:13:56.371+00:002011-03-07T22:13:56.371+00:00Thanks for your comments and for reading the revie...Thanks for your comments and for reading the review.<br />The A12 28mm will be reviewed next and I will make sure the Af speed gets covered.

As the earlier post, the weak point for the speed of autofocus in low light conditions. I wonder what the qualitative differences in the GRD III. I look forward to it.

I see a lot of negative comments that the AF is very slow in low lights.
