Sony Nex Series Camera Review


I have tried a lot of different camera.  I am not an expert, but I have played with a few high end DSLR cameras and a bunch of point and shoot cameras.  None of them have come close to being as easy to use or producing the image quality as my new Sony Nex 5T.


I chose this camera because Best Buy had an open box unit on sale for $360.  I wanted this unit because it has an NFC feature so I can instantly load my pictures to my smartphone and publish them to the web without a wifi connection or my laptop.

I have only had this camera for about three days but I love it.  I had considered returning it initially.  The one drawback to this camera is the Sony lenses are very expensive.  But I found adapters so I can mount my old Minolta lenses to this camera.

I do a lot of sports photograph.  This camera is amazing for sports pictures.  It snaps an incredible 10 pictures a second.  That blows the low end DSLR camera's out of the water.


The pictures come out crisp and clear.  It works great in automatic mode, but this thing excels in manual mode.  You can set the ISO to a whopping 25000 for low light pictures.

It has a tilting LCD so you can snap pictures from a variety of angles without worry.

And its small.  The camera itself is the size of a point and shoot.  The lense sticks out a little bit but it is much smaller than a DSLR.  But to be honest, I see absolutely no difference between the image quality of this camera vs my friends $1,000 DSLR.

The video quality on this camera is unbelievable as well.

Here are a few sample pictures I took with this camera.  I am still learning photograph, but I am very satisfied with this camera.
