What is it? A small, lightweight camera with the large imaging sensors found in DSLRs as well as interchangeable lens capability. Not only that, the new Sony NEX-5 shoots AVCHD 1080i video without the focusing hassles of bulkier DSLRs, has a 7 fps burst mode and will even take 3D-ready Sweep Panorama images. Its truly a breakthrough camera and even if youre not in the market to spend over $600 for a camera, you should play with it at a local store.

  • thats not a bad thing @ the end he's saying a beginner will have to shell out the same amount of cash ok.... and? lol spending $650.00 for a big ass camera that a lot of people don't like doing already. I rather spend that money and get this gem of a camera and like a lot of beginners not knowing what I am doing theres seems to be a lot of helpful tools on the camera itself. I think overall this is the better choice if you ask me.

  • this is a great camera for novice too, photographers who knew what

    they are doing could do magic with the NEX 5.

    the problem is that old fart Photographers can't leve their DSLR's.

    the days of the DSLR's are numbered...the future belong to cameras

    like Sony NEX5.

    It is said the nex is the camera for people who want a DSLR without the cost, quality or complexity of one. (As though this were a stop gap between point & shoots and DSLRs.) However, this little camera eclipses most DSLRs. Entry level?!?! Hardly, it's as exotic and hard to use as any DSLR with PASM or as simple as a point & shoot using ...

  • Question, I've got an NEX-5 and when I shoot in raw and upload them onto my Toshiba the quality gets reduced dramatically!! Is it because my computer doesnt have a graphics card, or because of the actual LCD on the camera just makes it look spot on?
