Sony NEX-5R review


The shape and dimensions of the camera are not changed at all since the first NEX-5 model. In practice, this means that you get the least possible mirror less body on the market and protruding grip that provides a comfortable and secure hold in the hand. Final Dimensions depend on the lens used, but in practice the dimensions chubby compact or ultra zoom from Nex get much higher quality.

Novelty is a key program in addition to the second shutter dial on top of the appliance. Users of automatic shooting modes that does not represent anything, but if you like to take control over the settings it is welcome news that significantly increases usability appliances. The materials used are good, but not perfect: the grip is plastic, while the more expensive NEX-6 you get a soft rubber or even better plastic casing.

The screen has a diagonal of 3 inches 920.000 pixels and superb. Rotated by 45 degrees down, and a full 180 degrees forward, which means that you can watch on the screen when shooting portraits duck face for Facebook. :) In this model F3 is the only NEX that allows the screen to rotate 180 degrees.
With the aid is delivered to a small flash of reach 12 m. The same connector can connect an external electronic viewfinder that is sold separately. Hot-shoe is not present, and this limits the flash that can be used in this model, more expensive NEX-6 has a universal hot shoe.
Li-Ion battery provides enough power for about 300 pictures. This is an average of the mirrorless world, but no progress over previous generation NEX - First NEX-5 from 2010 is the same as entering the city.
We recognize the fact that the package does not have the charger for charging the battery through the USB connector in the unit. This is why you can not charge an extra battery while the unit is in use.
Supported Memory Stick and SDHC memory cards. Although SD widespread and easily accessible format, we recommend purchase of Memory Stick, particularly those with HG mark (red colored), because with such a card NEX run faster than with fastest existing SD card.
In addition to USB and HDMI connectors, NEX-5R has a built-in Wi-Fi connectivity and supports a variety of Sony applications. It is possible to connect to the Android smartphone or iPhone, send photos directly to Facebook or camera control via smartphones.
Video recording is possible in Full HD resolution at true 60fps footage that gives fluidity. Built-in stereo microphone and again praise silent auto focus who do not mind video recordings.
Altogether, the Sony NEX-5R is completely fulfilled our expectations. Image quality is top notch, and usability built on a slightly higher level compared to the predecessor. Besides the fact that it was now available for ten lenses for E-mount, NEX slowly becoming a more serious player in the market, suitable both amateurs and demanding users.
