Sony NEX-7 review

In an opinion article last week , I stated that I didn't believe that compact system cameras would replace digital SLRs for serious photography, so with the inescapable power of Murphy's law, this week I find myself reviewing a CSC which could very well do just that.
Pros:
  • Design
  • Control system
  • Image quality
  • Performance
  • Proving me wrong about CSCs
Cons:
  • Price

Sony aimed high in creating the NEX 7 – it is clear that their main objective was to create a compact, mirrorless, interchangeable-lens camera with features and performance parameters equal to those of an enthusiast or prosumer DSLR .

Pros:
  • Speed
  • size
  • technology
  • EVF
  • controls
  • on and on
Cons:
  • Not enough quality
  • affordable lenses

A great mirrorless system

I am a fine art photographer which includes landscapes and wanted a smaller camera to pack around on my hikes. I employ a Canon 5D MKII with all the heavy L lenses which is amazingly heavy!

Sony Alpha Nex-7 Single lens kit

Very sharp images either JPEG or RAW. Noise reduction is superior in low setting. DRO is very useful and even HDR is wonderful tool to use. This camera body has a metal feel to it and I love it. The handling is so good and rather comfortable with.
Pros:
  • Very sharp images either JPEG or RAW
  • Noise reduction is superior in low setting
  • DRO is very useful and even HDR is wonderful tool to use
  • This camera body has a metal feel to it and I love it
  • The handling is so good and rather comfortable with.
Cons:
  • Circle dial with button in middle probably bit too easy to turn like I turn too much by accident
  • AF Illuminator too close to my hand which I hold the grip perhaps? But I remind myself to pull my 2nd index finger further away to allow AF Illuminator to shine at in the dark.

Awesome!!

Brought this camera on a trip in Asia and I LOVED IT!! Paranomic shots are awesome! Crystal clear pictures and videos. Easy to use and quick processing and face and smile detection was really quick. Zoom was awesome but could do a tad bit better too. Overall, it made my trip a lot more memorable.

Best in class

The Nex-7 is the last stop before a pro-sumer (professional consumer) level system. If you are already a pro looking for a smaller and extremely smart flexible in-hand system then this is your mark. Worth every penny! Loads of fun.
Pros:
  • Best In Class
  • Many great features & filters.
Cons:
  • Running out of disk space because the pictures are too good to delete
