Other than the addition of NFC connectivity, a new 16-50mm power zoom kit lens, and a slightly lower launch price, the Sony NEX-5T is identical to last year's NEX-5R model. So while it remains an excellent all-round compact system camera that successfull...
Tilting, touchscreen LCD. WiFi with NFC support. Excellent high ISO performance. 10fps burst shooting. Compact design. 1080p60 video capture. Optional EVF available.

Sony's Alpha NEX-5T mirrorless camera is simply last year's NEX-5R with added NFC support for quick image transfer to a smartphone. And the price has come down. So this isn't a bad thing....

Abstract: As such the NEX 5T features a 16 Megapixel APS-C sensor, a hybrid AF system which embeds phase-detect autofocus points on the sensor for better continuous tracking, built-in Wifi with support for downloadable apps, and a touchscreen display which vertical...
Nonstandard hotshoe, Limited apps, Can't shoot filters in raw
The Sony NEX-5R was definite upgrade from the 5N, but the 5T only really brings NFC to the party - which is a valuable addition if you've got a compatible device, but certainly doesn't make it worth the upgrade if you've already invested in a 5R. That sai...
All our gripes about in-camera app purchases aside, there's a reason the Sony NEX-5T made our best-of-year list. It's a well-priced midrange option with killer imaging chops. The minor, minor updates to the 5T may have done little to change what we didn't...
Superior stills and videos, Advanced Hybrid AF, Built-in Wi-Fi/NFC
Poor flash/display design, Learning curve for onscreen menus
