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
The NEX-5R is best shot without asking questions. It gets clumsy for playback or making shooting adjustments, so it's best just to shoot and do your best to avoid playing in the menus.
