Best Cameras 2013

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.
