Sony NEX-5KB system camera (14 megapixels, 7.5 cm (3 inch) screen) with 18-55mm lens (Electronics)

Customer Review

The purchase of the NEX-5 was, despite some weigh quite a spontaneous purchase. Because I finally came to the conclusion that I (Sony Alpha 300 with battery handle and various lenses, flashes, etc.) have made barely (beautiful) pictures despite a good equipment. The reason: More and less like that big heavy camera bag and carry around with me. Therefore I almost sold my entire system and keep only a few lenses that I continue to use the NEX-5 with an adapter.

You can say all in all: The camera takes good photos simply. Also the noise is kept within limits. I will not give a complete review, but mainly perform points that stood out to me during use:
- AUTO-ISO unfortunately goes pretty quickly into higher dimensions (but also uses intermediate values ​​such as ISO 600). I wish that the possibly existing image stabilizer is considered more in the lens
- ISO can be changed only via cumbersome's menu
- Of course, a pity that the image sensor is not stabilized (place would have been safe, even if the case might be slightly larger)
- For JPEG partly a few artifacts are to be seen
- It lacks a roadmap says that the accessories and lenses are planned
- Accessories (battery, wide-angle converter, screen protector) is not to get (except possibly at Sony itself) and also here there's no delivery
- Included with no remote control is included (at an extra charge of 100 to the otherwise almost same NEX-3 that would have been nice)
- The Full HD videos are not as sharp as they could be. The sharpness is maximum below average. An oblique lines, there's here like artifacts
- No control options in movie mode (except EV)
- There is also no HDMI cable for the mini-HDMI cable included available (apart from the fact that you have to find out yourself that it's mini-HDMI)
- Via HDMI seems to be spent real Full HD
- Battery is mediocre and required more than four hours to load
- You can not switch to release priority
- DMF (manual focus enabled despite AF) does not work when the camera is unable to find a focus (this would be just important here)
- The display is in terms of brightness and Auflösug really very good, you can focus well manually

Despite the many small points of criticism can make taking pictures with the camera but quite fun.
