![]() ![]() The NEX cameras are designed as a system, with interchangeable lenses and a range of other accessories including a miniature external flashgun, a clip-on optical viewfinder and an external stereo microphone. The NEX-5 features a full-size APS-C 14.2-megapixel sensor, a large articulated 7.5cm monitor and full 1080p HD video with stereo audio, with a body not much bigger than a standard compact camera. However Sony has trumped them all with the smallest compact system camera yet. Olympus, Samsung and Ricoh (GXR review coming soon) have all launched cameras with compact bodies and interchangeable lenses. Since the launch of the Panasonic Lumx G1 just under two years ago demonstrated that it was possible to have the versatility, performance and picture quality of a digital SLR in a smaller form factor, more and more manufacturers have jumped on the bandwagon. The NEX-5 and its sister camera the NEX-3 represent Sony’s debut into the rapidly-growing compact system camera market. /T: Body color is brown (NEX-3D/T, Asia only)įor example, NEX-5CK/B 50i is a NEX-5 supplied with E 18–55 mm zoom lens, not compatible with Eye-Fi function, body color black, and with 50i (not 60i) video support.(centre) Best DSLR and System Camera (/centre)./P: Body color is pink (NEX-3D/P, Asia only)./N: Body color is gold (NEX-5D/N, Japan only).C: Not compatible with Eye-Fi function (NEX-3C and NEX-5C only).The incomplete model number of NEX-3/NEX-5 series may include letter(s) at end. The E-mount flange register is so short that it is possible to mount 45 mm or longer-focal-length non-focusing enlarging lenses on the NEX body, with the use of an intermediate focusing helicoid behind them.Ĭertain third-party mechanical adapters also provide circular control rings that provide some mechanical control of the aperture of Nikon G, Pentax DA and Canon EF lenses, as these do not have a mechanical aperture control ring on their lens barrels. These adapters enable the use of Canon FD-mount, Canon EF-mount (without aperture control), Contax G, M42 screw mount, Konica Hexanon AR-mount, Minolta SR-mount (MC/MD), Leica M and screw mount, Nikon F-mount (non-G), Pentax K-mount (non-DA), Olympus OM mount, T2 screw mount and Minolta/Konica Minolta/Sony A-mount lenses. Other third-party mechanical tube adapters are also available. The latter lets the photographer sweep across a city-sky line or similar long view and have the photos automatically stitched into a JPEG image on camera. The camera software has special features like twilight mode and sweep panorama. The APS-C sized sensor has an ISO sensitivity up to 12,800. There is a 7 frame/s continuous shot mode, with autofocus disabled after the first frame. The NEX-5 can shoot in AVCHD 1080/60i HD. Also different from the NEX-3 is video quality. The body of the α NEX-5 is made of magnesium alloy that separates the NEX-5 from the less expensive polymer NEX-3. The α NEX-5 has features found in SLR cameras but also some that are normally found in point and shoots. The NEX-5 was replaced by the 16 megapixel NEX-5N in August 2011. ![]() It has the capability to shoot 1920×1080i at 60 frame/s in AVCHD or 1440×1080p at 30 frame/s in MPEG4. The NEX-5 shoots 14.2 megapixel stills and has a 7 frame/s continuous shotmode. Its major competitors in the market are the cameras based on the micro 4/3 standard created by Panasonic and Olympus, and a few low end Canon, Nikon, and even Sony α DSLRs. It is a mirrorless interchangeable lens camera with the body size of a larger model fairly compact point-and-shoot camera with a larger sensor size ( APS-C) comparable to that of some digital single-lens reflex cameras. The Sony α NEX-5 is a digital camera launched on. 287 g (10.1 oz) (camera body, card and battery) NP-FW50, InfoLITHIUM, 7.2 V, 1080 mAh, 7.7 Wh, Lithium-Ion rechargeable batteryĪpprox.
