Customer Review

Have the NEX-5R thereby to test intensively for 2 days and up since then.
First Impression:
Toll! Light, handy, fast, looks good, practical and beautiful design, reduced to the minimum which weight and size concerns and provides maximum options and quality.
Picture quality is top, DSLR class, does not miss any settings, they are only implemented differently.
That this camera needs some training, they must first get to know, become familiar with the logic and structure of the menus and settings.
If you've understood everything and set as you need it personally, the service perfect.
I'm not counting all the possibilities this offers 5R, which you can read.
In practice, it all works well, for example, focus on the touch screen set, place on a moving object tracking, trigger.
Various Belichtungmodi, all priorities, automatic or manual.
The pace is very good, you should especially in RAW but use a very fast memory card. The differences are considerable.
Images can be transferred with wifi to a computer or a smartphone, even remotely control the smartphone camera, also over greater distances.
Once upon a time my first impression - I will complement and extend here constantly.
There is still much to discover ...

Update 1:
Today I va depth, difficult light conditions tested:
The depth of field can be done very well with the right settings, is convenient that you can mark a spot on the touch screen (also all in the corners) and at full aperture even small objects beautiful "indemnify" may. The WB and the colors are very good, in Lightroom the originals-WB is usually better than the automatic, colors are balanced.
In low light everything is a bit more difficult ... until ISO 3200 you can still make very good pictures (A4-print; the monitor and 1: 1 luminance noise from as visible), chrome. Aberrations I have seen very few, color noise hardly, details and textures are very well preserved, etc. Everything must be for RAW images, JPEG go from ISO 1600 already first details are lost (on screen at 1: visible 1, when print only Lupe visible). From ISO 6400 goes well, is also not bad at all, but of course they will need to have to make compromises.
To 1/30 sec. There no camera shake, more is even if you have a steady hand ...
The total luminous intensity is not very good, is probably on the lens, but is not bad, it depends what you compare it.
Compared to Micro4 / 3 and 1 "sensors but very good and with fixed focal lengths (1: 1.8, etc.). Then really perfect in low light.
The included flash is suitable for lightening, it fits well plugged still good in my (small) bag because you can fold it.
You can also adjust flash compensation, etc.
But, as I said, this is a camera that you have to get to know well and practice something needs so they can operate smoothly and intuituv.
I lack any settings and options, I find nothing that I would miss compared to a very good DSLR (but of course subjective and a matter of habit).
Bracketing, HDR, continuous shooting at 10fps, etc. - all there.
With one of the apps that can be downloaded in PlayMemories goals go well advanced bracketing Funtionen (shutter speed, ISO series).

Battery life is not great, at almost 300 images is closing, but is possibly the fact that I'm still around a lot.
Wifi and all the bells and whistles, of course, needs electricity.
So equal 2nd (or 3rd) battery and charger (!) Order to not charging cradle is supplied namely here and you can only the battery in the camera upload (via micro-USB).

Update 2:
Have now tried the image quality (BQ) compared with my Photo Archive (Various Bridge, Super Zoom and DSLRs) classified by looking into Lightroom Images with similar absorption values ​​(ISO, aperture, focal length, motives, etc.), the sharpness, color and resolution have compared. That's not so easy because each camera is different, different strengths and weaknesses and it's all very subjective.
My conclusion: BQ is clearly on a good level DSLR (700, - to 1000, - EURO class) and considerably better than anything else including (sensor smaller than APS-C).

Therefore my (preliminary) conclusion:
When you're ready to embark on the (compared to compact and DSLR) Special operating and Handlichkeits concept and has thus made einnmal familiar from the 5R with the intersection: // BQ / handiness and "always-casual-factor "/ design options / performance / price // the best camera that I know.
Therefore, in this case from me a clear recommendation!

The scenery is gorgeous ... Rank: 1/5
