Quality Camera
I have a Canon 5D as well as a 450d, but for quite sometime, I'd been looking for a camera that's portable, but doesn't sacrifice the quaility & versatility of my SLR's. I've been using the Nex 5 for just over a month now and have taken around 600 shots and they are excellent quality. Both indoor & outdoor shots have been great - detail is sharp and colours are vivid. The movies are also amazing - I've taken outdoor video so far - handheld and whilst it can be tricky keeping the cam steady, it d...

Professional photographers review.
Hi folks- if you can't be bothered reading the whole review here's the synopsis...It's one of the best cameras I've owned. I love it. I was a travel photographer for a few years would have killed to have had this instead of my bulky Nikons!! PLEASE read through to the end, because there is a facet to this camera I haven't heard anyone mention yet and it's the reason I gave it full marks and took the time to review it. Thanks!Now for the review!IMAGE QUALITY-This depends on so ...

Sony NEX-5
I reluctantly started to take photographs digitally around six years ago when my Dad said he felt the quality of pictures could potentially match those of my Olympus SLR. I am now on my third digital camera and feel very happy to have converted.I have a Sony F828, which takes great photographs but is bulky. I also have a Sony camcorder, which takes good video but is similarly bulky. Combine the wish to take photographs with video and you end up with a rucksack full of photographic equipmen...

Professional Camera in a small package
This camera is superb, if your someone who is tired of carrying around heavy SLR kit, then the Sony is the best option on the market. having previously owned a canon 400d and the more recent Panasonic GF1, I can honestly tell you that this camera is far more superior. The size of the camera is mind blowing, how they cram all that Tech into such a small from factor is ingenious! Sony have always been revolutionary with their products and they dont look at what others are doing, they prefer ...

Great camera
I have been looking for a small camera that produces the image quality of an SLR for a while now. I have a canon 60d, s95 and had previously bought the Olympus E-PL2 but sent it back as I didn't like it.All I can start by saying is that I love this camera.Sony have done an amazing job of getting a aps-c sensor into such a small body. For those that don't understand this the sensor is MUCH bigger than those that you will find in a compact camera and it is also bigger than the 4/3 came...

sony Nex5
This is an excellent camera all the features of an SLR in such a slim and light weight body. The 18-55mm lens is a quality piece of kit. So if your tired of carrying around your bulky SLR this is the ticket.The quality of the pictures is superb very sharp accurate colours with fantastic low light performance for shooting in virtual darkness with no flash. I have a canon 450d SLR and this rivals it for picture quality. The menu system takes some time to get used to but if you have moved up fr...

Versatile, portable and above excellent quality pictures
It is rare that I put finger to keyboard for these types of review, but feel that in this case it just had to be done. I have been a Canon junkie for more years than I care to remember but I really needed something portable (fits into a small Lowepro Apex 60) and yet gave me most if not all of the options available to me from my traditional DSLRs. There are lots of compacts around, but the chip sizes scare me in terms of noise and resolution so I was determined to buy a camera with a lar...

Why ?
Used the Nex 5 with the 18-55 lens, excellent build quality and feel to the camera, I just dont understand the logic of a SLR with only a sceen to view (no viewfinder) the long lenses are difficult to impossible to old steady and the screen is difficult to view in bright light. and of course if you need reading glasses then the subject and viewfinder demand bifocals or half glasses. I sold mine and went back to a regular SLR and a Canon G10 as a pocketable alternative. Mirrorless in a 'reg...

Great photos but some flaws
From previously owning a Canon PowerShot G9 I wanted the next step without the bulk of SLRs. The nex-5 looked like a great solution, which it is, but it's not quite perfect for my needs, here's my experience:The Good-------Excellent photos, especially in low light conditions.Great speed photography, with a continuous burst feature.Nice menus for learning how to take various shots.Good battery life, it lasted a week on holiday with normal usage.Software updateable softwar...

Excellent little snapper.
I just got this from Amazon, received quite quickly as well. The nex-5 has got great build quality, nicely contoured to fit around the palm of your hands, feels solid. Took some shots without going through the manual and i have to say it takes some razor sharp pictures. For me this is an upgrade from the the digital compacts i used to use. Trust me, this little snapper does take excellent shots in even low light, pictures look naturally real as you would see with your naked eye, you'd be wowed b...
