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)

Class-leading image quality, Excellent noise control at mid to high ISO settings, Impressive Full HD movie recording abilities, Small and portable, but also very well built
Lack of physical buttons, In-camera menu is still a little clunky
The Sony NEX-5n uses a 25-point contrast-detect AF system and, in addition to regular autofocus (in either Single-shot or Continuous mode), there's also a Manual Focus option that employs a helpful MF Assist function to magnify whatever's inside the focus...
Abstract: The Sony NEX-5N is the update to one of Sony's first NEX cameras, the NEX-5. At first glance the camera does not seem much different from its predecessor, but (figuratively) look under the hood and you'll realize the NEX-5N is a different beast entirely. ...
Sony's NEX-5N packs high-end performance in a small body.Put the Sony NEX-5N and its predecessor, the NEX-5, next to each other and you'll be hard-pressed to tell the difference. Changes are few and far between. Once you compare shots though, it's clear t...
