So much camera in such a small package

After 6 months of research, I bought this camera and the 50mm/1.8 lens. I wanted the camera for 3 primary purposes: - family portraits and candids - outdoor photography on hiking trips (so small size was important) - gymnastics photos and video (very low light, very high speed) I knew that this...

This is my first camera that I've ever owned. I have always taken pictures from my cell phone, but wanted a good camera to take pictures of my new child. This camera has completely surpassed my expectations. I am still trying to figure out how to consistently defocus pictures and use some features.
Pros:
  • Easy to use

Nex 5R

I initially bought a Canon T3i on sale but returned it after reading a review of the Sony Nex 5R on The Verge website. I can confirm what the review claimed. The picture quality of the Sony Nex 5R with the kit lens easily surpasses that of the Canon T3i with the kit lens.

Perfect for beginners

I know very little about cameras but I was fed up of trying to take photos of my children and getting blurred images. I've also been put off by DSLR camera's as they are heavy and cumbersome. When you are out with your children in tow, the last thing you need is the responsibility of a huge camera.

Bought this camera for taking on holidays in place of my DSLR.

Very happy with this camera. It takes excellent photos & Videos. Because of its size it is small enough to fit in a jacket pocket or in my case the wife's handbag so much easier to carry about than a bulky DSLR which I usually took on holiday with me.

WELL BUILT CAMERA WITH HIGH IQ

Evaluated Olympus EPL5 & Sony NEX5R. Chose the NEX in a close call & do not regret the choice. Reasons: - More detail definition in RAW especially at higher ISO - JPEG very close at low ISO, with NEX noticably better at higher ISO.
Pros:
  • Evaluated Olympus EPL5 & Sony NEX5R
  • Chose the NEX in a close call & do not regret the choice
  • Reasons: - More detail definition in RAW especially at higher ISO - JPEG very close at low ISO, with NEX noticably better at higher ISO.
Cons:
  • - No External charger - a great way to piss off customers for little saving
  • - New lens is 16-50 power zoom lens is very light but can be a little soft at edges, 55-200 lens is better & very solid.
