A small-bodied interchangeable-lens model with excellent video, the Sony Alpha NEX-5N also offers some nice features, including a tilting LCD, EVF port, and a hybrid touch-screen/traditional interface
The user interface won't be to everyone's taste, and the body feels almost too small for the typical E-mount zoom lenses
An especially good option for people who want a relatively inexpensive ILC for shooting video, the Sony Alpha NEX-5N's photo quality's about the same as its cheaper sibling's.
Abstract: 16.10MegapixelsSony E-mount3.0 inchLCDReview Summary: Sony's thin and light NEX-5N has the same basic form as its predecessor, but sports a new 16.1-megapixel sensor that's capable of capturing up to 10 frames per second and Full HD video at 60p. A new...
The NEX-5N is a significant update to the NEX-5 in terms of both usability as well as customizability. The added connectivity with the new optional OLED EVF accessory should help to make this camera more appealing to enthusiast users who prefer shooti...
The review camera had obviously 'been round the block a couple of times ' before it landed on Photo Review's desk. The supplied lens showed some dents on the ribbing of the zoom ring; the front element of the lens was fingermarked and there was dust in th...

The quality of images from the new sensor is consistently superb. Our testing excursion was on a sunny afternoon when the light was less than ideal, with bright highlights and dark shadows. The Sony took it in its stride, preserving astonishing detail at
Barrel and pincushion distortion at the focal length extremes is bad enough to be disturbing, particularly when taking photos of buildings. The optional optical viewfinder is essential for bright sunlight
Virtually everything in the preceding summary of features and performance is the same as for the NEX-C3. So what do you get for the extra $200? The option of an electronic viewfinder is an added feature, as is in-camera correction for the aforementioned l...
Many touchscreen control options, Amazingly fast 10fps drive mode, Superb highISO quality with special modes
Heavily menudriven navigation is tedious, 16:9 LCD; display area for still is a bit small, Optional EVF is pricy ($400)
While it resembles a point-and-shoot digicam, the NEX-5N is a high-performance camera with great speed, versatility and image quality. Experienced shooters may find the menu-based operating sequences tedious, but the new touch-control options make up f...

La opción que tiene el usuario de intercambiar lentes según sean sus necesidades. Ofrece tan buena calidad de imagen que el propietario podrá imprimir sus fotos en formatos mayores a los normales sin perder calidad de detalle
No maneja un buen contraste de color. El costo de algunos de los lentes que se pueden utilizar llega a ser alto
Si quieres una cámara muy completa, pero que no sea tan compleja como las convencionales réflex de cuerpo robusto, esta opción es muy recomendable. Una ventaja para quienes ya tienen algunos conocimientos en fotografía es que permite hacer ajustes manu...
Abstract: La aventura de Sony en un segmento más avanzado que el de las compactas ha sido muy reciente. Sin embargo, ya se ha posicionado de forma excelente con sus réflex y sobre todo con su gama de compactas sin espejo. Innovaciones y apuestas firmes han sido sus...
