Sony NEX-7 review

All the usual NEX traits: outstanding image and video quality, lethargic autofocus, iffy focus from the kit lens.

Sony NEX-7 review

While other manufacturers have bolstered their lower end compact system camera offerings, Sony has gone the other way and introduced a semi professional flagship model in the Alpha series Sony NEX-7.
Pros:
  • Packed with features
  • Adjustable screen
  • Electronic OLED viewfinder
Cons:
  • Expensive
  • Bulkier than rivals
  • No in-body image stabilisation

Sony Alpha NEX-7

With a lot to like and just a little to dislike, the Sony Alpha NEX-7 comes up a winner, albeit an expensive one.
Pros:
  • The Sony Alpha NEX-7 delivers excellent raw photo and solid video quality in a package that's beautifully and functionally designed
  • yet relatively compact.
Cons:
  • As with many competing products
  • the camera's JPEG algorithms need some optimization
  • some aspects of operation feel a little laggy
  • and it's missing some useful features

Sony Alpha NEX-7

The 24-megapixel APS-C sensor inside Sony's NEX-7 produced the best stills and videos of the compact system cameras we tested this summer (2012), with details that held up even when we zoomed all the way in.
Pros:
  • One of the most customizable models on the market.
Cons:
  • Software menu is a bit of a dog's breakfast
  • Flimsy pop-up flash.

A little gem

I bought it because of the high resolution and its adaptors for my legacy film lenses. Pics from Contax 70mm Sonnar, Yashica 50 prime and Yashica 55 macro are as sharp and clear as I ever got on film.

NEX-7 a camera

Using since 2 years. For an amatauer photographer like me, very easy to use. Excellent results. Some of my pictures were much liked on panapramio.

The problem isn't the camera...

As the title of my review states, the problem isn't the camera itself, which is a tight and innovative piece of equipment with one of the best APS-C sensors to date. The compact size, image quality, and ease of use (once you get used to the radical design) is among the best of any camera made.
