The Sony NEX-5n is a worthy addition to the company’s growing range of compact system cameras. Those looking for a small, portable and well-built CSC with the image quality benefits of an APS-C sensor will find the little NEX-5n ticks all the right boxes. While we still have some reservations over the lack of physical buttons and the slightly awkward in-camera menu, the addition of touch-screen control and custom key settings does help to speed operation up considerably. Of course, for many prospective buyers the big question will be image quality and here we can report that the NEX-5n delivers class-leading results.
I brought a NEX-5N a few months ago in the twin lens kit. Despite having the initial click on video recording (really ruines the video sound) which is a well known fault, Sony fixed it for me within 3 days and since then its been great. Picture quality is awesome, especially in low light and with the 16mm lens on we take the camera everywhere as its small enough to fit in your pocket. Its such a good camera that I have since sold my A200 DSLR and lens and just use the 5N now. Love it!
If this was reviewed last year, it would should have been camera of the year and not the Lumix G3. I bought the Lumix G3 but didn't like it and changed it for the Sony NEX 5n. The NEX 5n walks all over it in the image quality and dynamic range with the large sensor.
