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.
Iām 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.

This is the camera i want! Glad to read a good review about it. š It only makes me want it even more. Unfortunetly they dont sell it in q8 yet (last time i checked, which was about a month ago). May i ask where your wife purchased it from?
a la Mocha, I think its from Amazon
I fell in love with this camera as soon as I saw it on your post that I went on amazon and ordered me one within minutes! I’ve always loved photography but never learned anything professionally.I’ve been thinking of getting a digital SLR camera for a while but was always indecisive…then I saw the compactness of this one and immediately knew that this is the one for me.
I would love to take a beginners class here in Kuwait to learn the basics of photgraphy. Do you happen to know of such classes?
Thanks!
Will check it out, thanks. š
QueenB, I think ur going to find some classes in Bait Lothan.
