  • You sound like kip from napoleon dynamite.

    That shits scary.

  • that's a beautiful Camera! :) my friend has it.

  • Do you have the autofocus with the nikkor lense? Where did you buy the adapter?

  • @Mikan4393 its a dumb adapter. no electrical contacts so no AF. i got it off ebay for $25.. still use it today

  • Why didn't you just buy a Nikon. Lol, it has all of those features and more.

  • @ApollyonoyllopA thought about a d5000, but, lack of video controls killed it for me.. then the 5n came out and it has awesome video and full manual controls. i would use manual focus anyways. but, if i want a smaller still photo camera to go with my nikons, i would have gotten the d5000.

  • Why did you choose to unbox in bathroom?

  • @bangcupid007 it was the quietest room in the house at the time.. the lighting is pretty good too

  • I have that toothpaste

    

  • Is it possible to check the bottom of the camera and tell me where is it made in? Thanks in advance, nice vid! :)

  • @efthlouk camera and lens are made in thailand

  • do you have clicks problems on video mode ?

  • imagine you could only pic one lens for the 5n, what lens would that be? thank you for your time.

    from Portugal :O

  • unboxing in a comfort room wow refreshing!!

  • Is there a lens cap too?

  • @tweakiepop theres a cap for the front of the lens. but, no rear lens cap and no body cap.

  • @JogBird Are you sure? Most DSLR camera kits come with at least a body cap. This is a pretty silly omission on Sony's part. So when you mount your Nikon lens, the NEX kit lens without a rear cap. This is surprising and pretty lame on Sony's part.

  • @marike1100 yea. if you notice the lens comes mounted on the body.. and there are no body/rear lens caps. the NEX7 + 18-55 kit does come with those extra caps though. its supper annoying because i cant transport my 18-55 when i use an 3rd party lens.. and you cant separate the body to make it smaller for travel. if you really need them, you can get them on ebay for about $4-5.

  • What's the point in buying such a compact camera then sticking that whopping great nikon on lol defeats the purpose

  • @OriginalNoseBleed its just for fun. i already had that lens. i wouldnt go out and buy that lens just for this.

  • @OriginalNoseBleed Becauuse it has rubbish lenses

  • I'm putting a nikon f/1.4 on mine so they can keep their flash.

  • Ok, thats what I thought about the meagpixels. I will stay with my sony nex 5n which works well with me even if its a little old. thanks.

  • Should I get the sony nex 5n or the 7? I like the 5n but I also like the 28 megapixel for the 7. Help me decide please.

  • @mdrivera77 i would only get the 7 if i wanted the EVF and much better ergonomics, the 24mp sensor is not worthwhile unless you get good lenses, use a tripod, and print really big... otherwise the extra pixels dont make any difference. the 7 also has a standard mic jack and apparently is less prone to overheat during video.

  • thanks for showing the flash

  • you talk just like the way mitchel talks in modern family but that DOES NOT mean your gay i love your unboxing

  • Do a video on how to paint the microphone black.

  • @Entropy56 oh, i just took a sharpie and coloured it over.. lol, looks awful up close but does the job (blacking out the mic)

  • does the camera support autofocus and macro modes ang shooting modes,,?? and how about the flash, is it easy to snap on? plss reply i really need it, thanks

  • @gadgetgeek1000 it has a number of autofocus (e.g. single, face, tracking, etc).

    for macro shooting, you need to attach a macro lens like the 30/f3.5. there is no "macro mode"

    it has a ton of shooting modes, basically, everything you would expect from a modern camera. some of them are really fun, like the miniature and toy camera.

    the flash screws on, it might be tricky with gloves on, but, shouldnt be hard otherwise.

  • @JogBird thanks, but what if i don't have a macro lenz? i won't be able to capture close up subjects like flowers &etc?? coz other cameras have built in macro shooting mode,, btw thanks1 liked your vids

  • @gadgetgeek1000 interchangeable lens cameras do not have "macro modes".. they are found on point and shoot cameras and all it means its that its "focusing really close". the closest focusing distance depends on the lens; i dont know what it is with the kit lens, but, you should be able to take photos of flowers just fine.. if you want to "get closer" then you need a macro lens. just punch macro lens into the search bar to learn more about it.

  • Mmmm cool but I wanted to see you taking photos but nice vid xD like!

  • in the bathroom, lol..... ;o))

  • Thanks for the vid but I was wondering what is the best memory card and what ever for this sony nex 5n?

  • @mdrivera77 you need a class 4 sdhc or higher. but, they are so cheap nowadays, just go for the faster card. i got a 32gb class 10 sdhc for $40 on sale awhile back. it takes sdxc as well, but, unless you have an sdxc reader you have to use the camera as the card reader.

  • is the microphone for shooting videos? can you show us how clear the sound is?

  • @Nitro92k the mic is for videos. if you look at my 5n playlist, all of the 5n videos use the mic.. i dont have samples without the mic, because its just better and theres no point not using it if you have it. to get a sense of the quality, use a pair earphones and notice the stereo separation (there is less separation when the noise is being blasted from a loud speaker).

  • @bymacorg your a troll fag.

  • why are you in a bathroom?

  • can you review the nikon to e mount adapter ? does this work with g lenses ? I wanna buy one, but dont know witch and how... really appreciate if you could do a vid for the adapter.

  • @ladduro check out my video: byf6u9XyAYo

  • Are there other methods of recording audio besides the external and built-in microphone for the 5N?

  • @blackhawk868 you could always use and external recorder and syc in post. but, the connector is proprietary to sony. the nex7 has a std 3.5mm mic jack.

  • Just one small thing... why was this filmed in a bath room?

  • @TheWarlock5822 it was just the quietest room in the house

  • 3:58 WHAT A BEAST!

    

  • we can read.

  • ..RECENSITO NEL BAGNO???

  • Hey, I just watched your NEX 5N unboxing video. I was wondering, what was the brand name of the nikon lens converter you used on the video? I assume its a third-party brand right? Not officially from Sony.

    How's the photo result using that converter?

    Thanks

  • @chromatix2001 it came in an unmarked box with a Made in China stamp on it. i got it off ebay for about $30 shipped. just search ebay for "nex nikon adapter" there are lots of resellers selling the same version. photo results depend on the lens, youre essentially shooting a DX body. the 5n sensor does have offset micro lenses at the periphery of the sensor to help with edge and corner sharpness, if that matters to you.

  • Does it come with a microphone?

  • @Grafytemedia there are built in stereo mics, the external mic i show is sold separately for about $100-150

  • @JogBird Is it worth it?

  • I assume you have thought about Panasonic GH2? especially with the hacked firmware? If you did thought about it, what was the reason for purchasing NEX-5N over GH2 ? GH2 seems to be extremely impressive with newer hack'd firmwares.

  • @xxgg the still image quality of the 5n is much, much better. in terms of video, im only using third party lenses, so, the larger APSc sensor means my wide angle lenses stay wider... eg. the 24/1.4 i use would be like a 50mm equiv.. pretty much a waste. if i were starting from scratch, i would have given the gh2 more thought because it is pretty impressive when hacked (although, the video dynamic range of the 5N unhacked is still superior and you have 1080p60).

  • would you say this is better then a sony a200 or a300 , or even like the old big DLSR/SLR cameras ? or like is it as good as the usual big ones

  • @poolpo17 at this point, i would get something like the NEX5n over an entry DSLR.. once you move up, say D5100, A55, then its a toss up depending on what youre looking for... but, the 5N is not close to being competitive with a D7000 level DSLR. in terms of image quality, its among the best non-FF (basically its the same as any camera using the Sony 16mp sensor)

  • What is the difference between the sony nex 5n and the sony nex 5a ?

  • @TheWwemichaeljackson "NEX-5N" is the upgrade to the "NEX-5" .. the "NEX-5A" is a specific colour/kit that the "NEX-5" is sold in.. i.e. i believe is the silver NEX-5.. so its last years model.

  • which should i buy... the nex 5n or the slt a55? i actually am looking for a cam that is good for video recording.. help plsss!!!

  • @badzbadua6 i would go for the 5n. its smaller, has image stabilised lenses for video (the mechanical IS does not work for video on the a55), has touch to focus, 60p and 24p at higher bitrates, and can adapt a wider array of lenses. the a55 has the standard mic port and GPS. 5n is also cheaper.

  • recommendation for a nice compact camera bag for this camera with kit lens ?

  • @xxgg i actually dont use a dedicated bag for this. i just toss it into whatever bag i happen to be carrying. although, i can probably tolerate more abuse with gear more than most people.. i.e. i dont really care if the body gets scratched up, as long as it still works.

  • I see from your video that the flash is included with your kit NEX-5NK. I see now all of the Kit part numbers are NEX-5NK/B. I can't tell if they have removed the flash from the kit. Do you or anyone else know if the kit still includes the flash?

  • @f1badude yes, even the body only package comes with the flash. they have to do it since its a consumer camera and the body doesnt have a popup flash. pro cameras like a D3s can get away with not including a flash. in any case, just read the product description / box contents

  • does the lens that comes with the box free or did u add cash for u to have it? is it the nex 5nK? im confused with the lens that comes with the box... pls help

  • @badzbadua6 the 5n is sold as a body-only or in kit form with a lens. the kit i bought came with the 18-55. but, just read the product description to see which lens it comes with.

  • do u experience the clicking sound when recording videos? also, how do i know if the one ill be buying has already been fixed?

  • that looks funny a tiny camera then this massive as lens

  • why at the bathroom? your camera is so intimous? thks for the explanation.

  • @IzReticuli it was the quietest room in my place at the time.. had to lock the door and barricade myself in there. the lighting isnt bad either, i just have pot lights etc everywhere else. the best thing about the nex is that you can configure it so many ways depending on what youre trying to do.

  • what brad of adapter are you using to mount the nikon lens. Thank you in advance.

  • Great ViDeO

  • hey man... I would like to know if u have the clicking sound that people talking about, while recording? and how is the camrera working with u so far?. I want to buy it. But people just scared the shit out of me!!! please give me an honest answer...

  • @ibo69ibo i have over 20 videos in my 5n playlist, the only one with clicking is where the "Torture Test"... its just a non-issue because of the way i shoot (slow panning, deliberate, etc), if you're gonna run and gun this and use it as an ENG then its going to be an issue. but, this is all moot since Sony has offered to fix it and the newer batches should have no issues at all.

  • @JogBird Thank you, yes i have seen the other videos u have after i wrote the comment. and its pretty impressive how u know the solution to get rid of the clicking sound.

  • It does do 24Fps?

    FFS!

    Sony could give us NEX-5 users a software update for that.

  • @moviesunrated yeops! 24p at 24 or 17 mbps.. check out my video "No Bad Sound 1/2" to see what it can do.

  • Man you have to be more lite with the camera

  • Hi, can you let me know when you use the lens adapter does the Auto focus Work? I am looking at getting this camera and maybe getting a Tamron 18-270mm lens. But have been told different things about the auto focus working. Appreciate your help.

  • @fenzy84 to enable AF, you need to use an e-mount lens, or a Sony lens with a Sony adapter that enables AF. so, that Tamron would have to be a Sony mount and you would need the Sony adapter with electronic connections. imo, i dont think that would be a very good lens for the NEX, its slow and at 270mm you will have a hard time holding it still enough to get a good photo

  • @JogBird Thanks for the reply, So just to confirm in order to use a telephoto lens with AF then it is either the E mount 18-200mm lens or a Sony A mount adapter with a Sony A mount Telephoto lens. If I use a Nikon adapter and get a Nikon Telephoto lens then the AF won't work? Thanks for your help I am quite new to this type of photography so just wanted to make sure I knew all the info.

  • @fenzy84 @fenzy84 @fenzy84 if youre looking for a telephot0 option, the new NEX 55-210 is probably you best option, it pairs perfectly with the 18-55, has IS that works, AF that works, and is pretty cheap. its performance would be on par with the 18-55 and i suspect better than the 18-270 given the smaller focal range. myself, 50mm is the longest non-sony lens i would use because the lenses just gett too big and the focal lengths too long to hold stabilly.

  • You experienced any overheating issues with the camera?

  • @pmgurjar im putting up another video soon, stay tuned

  • POOR VIDEO....at least move the toothpaste....come on

  • Canada buyers get a 2 year warranty and US buyers get only 1 year?

  • @888cromartie yea, but the 18-55 kit is $100 more than the US price.. and everything else Sony sells is more ezpensive here.. like the EVF is $450, the 16/2.8 is $300, the C3 kit is $750 (more than the US price of the 5n), etc, etc

  • Nice One !!!

    You are doing this on your bathroom ?? What are you going to shoot next ? lol

  • @kaushalsubba lol, it was the only place i could get some quiet, closed the door behind me. the lighting worked out pretty well too!

  • It's not available in Japan yet...

  • NOT BAD!!!!

  • nice video and nice setup there with the nikon lens, does the adapter let you use autofocus? or just manual?

  • @orthusnet yea, its manual focus... but, its SUPER easy on the 5N, you touch the oart of the screen you want to magnify and it zooms in, so you can fine tune focus. theres also focus peaking. this is really the camera to get if you want to use manual focus lenses. thanks for watching.

  • Thanks for uploading your video. Would love to see this camera in action, from a regular YouTube account such as yourself, in the coming days

  • hix i want to buy it ! but it doesn't release in australia yet ! how much you buy this camera ?

  • Explain the video mode? I understand it can shoot in a frame that looks like a movie? which mode would that be? I pre-ordered mine.. can't wait!

    Good luck buddy

  • @visuals12345 yea, the 5 was a 1.8x crop in video mode, now, it just crops the top and bottom of the 3:2 frame down to 16:9 (not sure what the math is, but, its so much better).. if you set your still image size to 16:9 you can preview in 16:9 and start recording video without cropping!!! i added more stuff in the description. Sony basicaly corrected everything that was wrong with the video implementation on the 5. im going to do a more thorough review on the video aspects later
