Sony Alpha NEX-5R Digital Camera Review

It's almost like Sony doesn't want to sell NEX -7's anymore. Apart from a few key missing features-those would be the absent viewfinder and much lower megapixel count-the NEX -5R doesn't only surpass its predecessor, the camera actually competes directly with the top of the NEX lineup.
Pros:
  • Wide dynamic range
  • Excellent video capabilities
Cons:
  • Confusing menu interface
  • Installable apps have a long way to go

Sony NEX-5R Review

Now here's another one: a deliciously tiny, mirrorless, interchangeable lens camera that can almost replace many DSLRs on themarket. Sony was one of the early entrants in this game and, in typical fashion, continues to refine the bloodline with this third generation product in the 5 series.
