It is perhaps somewhat heretical to write a review about a product that there is only on the second hand market ... Nevertheless, I would like to mention this pioneering camera praise. Who are AF, continuous shooting speeds, measuring fields, megapixel and additional features, which anyway gets lost her here - to a leaked camera model. But who is looking for a compact camera with the best possible image quality at the lowest possible price, which I would recommend highly NEX5. I own next to the NEX5 another NEX3N with the current 16MP image sensor. Of course I have 1: 1 comparisons made. You really notice the positive effect of the lower pixel density at 14MP sensor. You can see a bit more detail in low-light. No imagination. The colors (in the same 'Creative Style' standard setting and JPG output) are the 14MP sensor in the NEX5 warmer (more Nikon standard) than the 16MP sensor in the NEX3 (more Canon standard). This is a matter of taste. Otherwise, differences from the current 16MP generation are probably only in the laboratory available = in practice no difference. The 18-55mm kit zoom is just a kit zoom. That's OK. Interestingly, it is (no matter which camera system) without first talking with prime lenses with large aperture and corresponding available light and free parking facilities. Here is the NEX5 together with the NEX-Sigma 30mm lens photographically first Bundesliga - for the time completely under 300EUR !! With the (unfortunately expensive) Sony SEL35f18 lens is photographed in the Champions League. No exaggeration. I allow myself this judgment because I have really possessed and tried many different DSLRs, Nikon and Canon, APS-C and full frame. Who protect his budget but do not want to give up picture quality, which saves the case and invested into the lens. If one wants to use the budget purism, then adapted to a manual 50mm 'waste glass' - which are in abundance and low erhätlich of the good old analog SLRs. The manual lenses work thanks Point Zoom and remote very well with the NEX cameras. A NEX5 with a 50mm waste glass is a super-effective but class portrait and available light instrument ...
