Sony NEX-5 SLR Digital Camera Review

Sony NEX-5 is Sony's first mirrorless interchangeable-lens system camera and it is also the thinnest one. Sony NEX-5 had a fantastic shape and strong performance with Sony's excellent industrial design capabilities. The thinnest part is just 24.2mm, and inside the slim body a 23.4mm × 15.6mm of Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor has been embedded. It is no exaggeration to say the image quality of Sony NEX-5 is no different with the SLR.

Exquisite workmanship, the thinnest SLR

Sony NEX-5 features exquisite and super slim appearance that let a person fondle admiringly easily. The device is endowed with an APS-C CMOS Sensor with 14.2 megapixels. What is more, Sony NEX-5 features extremely powerful video shooting performance, which supports 1080i Full HD stereo video capture with real-time auto focus.
The body frame of Sony NEX-5 is made of high quality metal materials and whole body accented with impeccable workmanship in details. Although compact digital camera should be small than SLR, the super thin body of Sony NEX-5 is beyond my expectation. The body size and thickness of the device even can comparable with ordinary compact digital camera and the hand-held grip experience is comfortable than expected a lot.

E-mount can fit the lens

Lenses can be fitted via the new E mount system, but the NEX cameras can also use regular Sony Alpha lenses via the optional LA-EA1 adapter. In the UK the Sony NEX-5 costs £549 body only, £579 with the 18-55mm f/3.5-6.3 kit lens or £679 with the 18-55mm f/3.5-6.3 and 16mm f/2.8 lenses. In the US the NEX-5 ships with the 18-55mm f/3.5-6.3 kit lens for $700 or the 16mm f/2.8 lens for $650.

Excellent dust removal system

The most striking widget on Sony NEX-5's fuselage is a huge circular E-mount lens mount, and inside the lens mount, you can see an APS-C size of Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor without any barrier in front of the presentation, it appears that Sony is very confident in its own dust removal system.

Rotatable Xtra Fine LCD screen

At the back of Sony NEX-5 slim body is a top-level display, which can be flipped and this Xtra Fine LCD with 920,000-pixel LCD screen in size of 3 inches, on which covered with anti-reflective coating,

Well compatible memory media

On the side of Sony NEX-5, Sony set USB data interface and HDMI interface. In the memory card, the device can support its own branded memory stick PRO Duo and can also use the SD card. In the power supply, SONY NEX-5 powered by a 1080Ma Lithium-ion battery.

Beautiful and user-friendly menu

Sony NEX-5 comes with the most beautiful and user-friendly menu that l have ever seen. We can see easy-to-understand word explanation on each menu page. Meanwhile, Sony NEX-5 set beautiful illustrations in each scene mode background. All the nuances of design are headlighting Sony's product with high quality and value.

Excellent panorama scanning function

Scanning the panorama function is not new, many of Sony's own compact digital camera come along this feature, let's say Sony TX7 flagship compact camera, which cancapture a maximum size of 7152x1080 photo shoot with panorama scanning function. However, Sony NEX-5 is considered a powerful exception an I believe firmly that its scanning panoramic performance may completely beyond your imagination. So it is easy to shoot high quality panorama shoot up to 12416× 1856 pixel in super wide size with this function and it is easy to show those shoot's shocking effect if you see them on your PC or HD devices.

Powerful move anti-shake mode

Besides the panorama scanning shooting mode, SONY NEX-5 also comes with a special shoot mode, called the move anti-shake mode. We can easy access to clear and low noise photos with this mode. In the case of dim light, if you want to get a photo in normal exposure, in addition to a large aperture lenses, you also need a longer exposure time, while in the slow shutter speeds, it is easy for trembling of the hands or moving objects, which result in a fuzzy photo. Just in this case, Sony NEX-5 will use a high speed high-speed continuously shoot six photos and the final photo is the synthesis of 6 that is clear and in low noise and the noise with the action Anti-Shake mode. In a word, Sony NEX-5 anti-shake mode of shooting should be affirmed.

1080i HD video recording and auto focus.

Sony NEX-5 not only has the capability of shooting high quality image, but also excellent in video capture as SLR-class devices, and I believe its powerful performance of HD video recording will never let you down. Sony NEX-5 has a Full HD 1080i video recording capabilities in AVCHD format, which features small size for a great advantage in storage. Not only that, Sony NEX-5 also supports real-time auto focus, which is the killer features of Sony NEX-5 that we can't find in other SLR.

Summary

Sony NEX-5 is the world's thinnest SLR digital camera, which features the interchangeable-lens. The gadget equipped with a APS-C size Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor with 14.2 megapixel. Sony NEX-5 is endowed with a rotatable HD LCD screen that supports 1080p Full HD stereo video capture, and real-time auto focus.
