We’ve been arena with the Sony NEX-5 camera all day, testing out the failing shooter’s lenses and new features. Want to apperceive if it can dislodge the Olympus E-P1 from it abode in our manbag? Read on for our aboriginal thoughts.
You’ll be admiring to apperceive that the Sony NEX-5 feels every bit as able-bodied congenital as it looks. Its metal case is robust, and shockingly slim, abnormally in allegory to the beefy Panasonic G1/G2/G10 band of Micro Four Thirds shooters. Even with a continued lens attached, it’s still a abundant accord easier to lug about on a cruise than a DSLR.
We additionally booty aback what we said about the awning earlier: on the Sony NEX-5 archetypal we tested, it’s phenomenally ablaze and crisp. The annal caster ascendancy acclimated to cross the on awning airheaded about hasn’t been blithely anticipation through: it’s all too accessible to skip over a mode, and we hardly anticipate it would accept abashed things a abundant accord to accept a concrete punch with the modes on the top of the camera.
Otherwise though, Sony’s put a ton of accomplishment into authoritative the Sony NEX-5 accessible to use for those bridge over from agenda bunched cameras for the aboriginal time, and they are by and ample nice touches. There’s a cutting tips chiral you can accessible on screen, as able-bodied as an iAuto mode, and a compact-ish Scene Selection option.
We decidedly admired the accessible focus slider in the iAuto mode. Instead of mucking about in chiral modes, you can accelerate the accomplishments of a accountable in and out of focus with the dial, giving you the bank abyss of acreage of a DSLR, after newcomers accepting to get bogged bottomward in the settings (Though veterans can do that too). There’s additionally a HDR mode, which shoots beneath and over apparent shots and averages them out for scenes with lots of contrast: it gets a lot of detail in but we didn’t consistently adopt its output. Sony’s abnormally absitively to coffin this advantage abysmal central the settings, but it’s account gluttonous out in assertive situations.
