Pros: Lightweight, with 16 mm is almost a pocket compact

Cons: The bayonet could be completely metallic, but that's okay

Opinion: It's not the Nex 5, it's the Nex 3, there was an exchange of cameras. Who knows why Sony has done for this camera, as well as for the first Alpha 7, the bayonet with an important plastic part, less stable and more prone to breakage. Especially since the machine is equipped with a well-made magnesium body that makes it robust

Pros: Portability, b / n, tilting zchermo, construction, sensor

Cons: Command buttons, not so much tilting screen,

Opinion: Overall I can only give a positive opinion on the machine. I give a judgment as a machine intended as second body, so it is a judgment on the use that I made it. Interesting was the performance black and white, a real surprise, pleasant in the right gray in harsh tones. I appreciated the tilting screen that I put however also among the negative things because it does not have a great handling. I also tried some long exposure and the car did not behave badly. rnComunque did not fire the feeling and so after a few weeks I decided to change. I still prefer the Samsung NX 300, especially for the performance at high ISO and for night photos.

Pros: Construction, made high ISO, slow adaptability, ease use, portability, MAF peaking, ideal grip

Cons: lack external wheel mode, hot shoe owner, lack viewfinder.

Opinion: X crazy almost bought, used on holiday with satisfaction, but become invaluable as a light body to take with itself and with vintage lenses attached and adjusted, and the increasing use a rikenon 50 f2, with a Yashica ml28 with a pentax to 80 200 (I enjoy the sea, her, and her paintings pentax flash f20s x fill) .... since they put on peaking for the maf gives me enormous satisfaction, much to think about to take off her .. 18 55 . I only needed a viewfinder and I seriously think that if sony came out a nex ff, with viewfinder also simple, and wheel mode, kill the market back the urge to take and, if used in the cockpit, no one in the street you note.
