I used to have Canon D450 which was my birthday gift from my wife, Couple of days ago my birthday was and my wife brought to me the Sony NEX-5 as in update for my previous camera, I’ve spent almost a week with it and will talk about it in brief by the way the result was impresive.

I’m going to break my review into:

• Features
• Whats in the box
• Dimensions
• Good
• Bad
• Conclusion
• Image Samples

Features:

• 14.2-megapixel,
• up to 7 fps shooting,
• ISO 12800 sensitivity,
• AVCHD 1080/60i HD movies,
• APS-C size HD image sensor,
• Sweep Panorama,
• Auto HDR
• Tiltable LCD

Inside the Box:

• Sony NEX-5 body
• 18-55mm w/lens hood or 16mm lens.
• Flash
• Body cap
• Lens caps
• Lithium-ion battery
• Battery charger
• USB cable
• Shoulder strap
• CD-ROM
• Quick Start manual
• Warranty card

Good:

• Very light and compact design and still comfortable to hold.
• High quality built material.
• Capable of recording HD video in any of the lenses.
• Since I bought the Canon’s adapter lenses, I can use all my previous canon lenses with it.

Bad:

• It drains the battery very quickly so you need at least a backup battery with you.

Image Samples:

I’ve already posted some pictures in my previous posts, you can find it HERE & HERE

Sony NEX-5 Conclusion:

I think for those of you who’s looking for light and compact design SLR camera, This is for you because it got a very simple and graphical interface menu, Also if you’re traveling alot and you want to take it with you even with all the lenses it wont take a lot of space in your bag same as the normal SLR.
