Review: Great camera, my wife loves it! - More details below but first the summary: Pros (Just the big ones, no room for them all): -Great full-sized sensor, preforms really well in low-light -Quick auto focus, also works well in low-light and has a very useful focus point tracking -Really small and light (surprisingly so) but still feels sturdy -Great kit lens that works for both still photography and video -Ability to add a larger flash, viewfinder or directional mic -Sony's software makes it easy to import photos via (fast) USB or (super slow) WiFi Cons (Let's be honest I'm reaching here, it's a great camera): -Doesn't come with a battery charger (easy fix, Wasabi makes one, costs $20 and comes with two extra batteries) -No viewfinder or built in flash (so if you want/need both look at the Nex-7, personally it's not an issue for us) -WiFi upload is SLOW, ridiculously so, and the camera must be turned off then on again afterwards (Fix: Use USB) -Isn't weather sealed (It would be nice, just saying) -Doesn't come with the available PZ 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 power zoom lens as part of the kit (This lens is amazing!) -aaaannnnnd...nothing else I can nit-pick really, sorry but it's just a great camera. I spent about a month or two looking at various cameras for my wife after she said she was interested in getting back into photography. Originally I was leaning towards a DSLR but after my wife complained (correctly in my opinion) that they were bulky and unappealing I started looking at ILCs. After a lot of looking and a long discussion about viewfinders (my wife is a trained photographer and started on film so she was initially uncomfortable with a camera without one), though we eventually decided that $300-$500 more for a viewfinder-equipped camera wasn't worth it. The primary reason I picked the Nex-5r was that it was moderately priced and equipped with a full-sized sensor, allowing better performance in low-light, as well as having the ability to mount an optional viewfinder or boom-mic. So far the camera has performed flawlessly. We have been shooting portraits and candids of our daughter, athletes in motion and in dim to bright environments, and using it for street photography and the images are great. The only real issue is we both want to shoot with it all the time (I'm considering getting a second Nex-5r or maybe a Nex-3 body this holiday). In summary, we both love the camera and recommend it as a great beginner to intermediate user camera (I've even read about some semi-pro photographers using it or the 6 & 7's as their primary camera).
Review: nice images/poor menu structure - I've only had this camera a few months. Here's what I think so far. The images are good, but not as spectacular as I had hoped. My buying decision was based primarily on the APS-C sensor size. I believe that the included 18-55 MM lens might be the problem. The photos are soft, especially at the lowest (3.5) f-stop. I thought about buying the e-mount 16mm lens, but reviews were mixed. So, I have just ordered a 30MM Sigma lens that gets strong reviews, so that might help. The other negative comment has to do with the process to select specific menu items. The layout/design is cumbersome. This is especially true if you have to go into the setup category to make a change. There are numerous settings and scrolling through dozens of them to find what you are looking for is a pain. For example, changing the brightness of the LCD screen. Last negative is that Adobe Raw cannot yet process the RAW format pictures, even though it apparently works for the NEX-5N previous model.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this lot (Sony NEX-5RK/B 16.1 MP  with 18-55mm and 55-210mm Lenses) realy contains 18-55 AND 55-210 Lens for $698? Not mistake?**
A: It only contains the 18-55mm lens.  No 55-210mm lens.

**Q: How about low light performance? Great or average? Thank you**
A: Great，I use the sigma 30mm f2.8 lens, it's just approximate 1 pound. I bought it cost $449 with 18-55 and sigma 30mm lens is 120 dollar~

**Q: Does the screen flip 180 degrees? Like for selfies?**
A: No it does not. It just pulls away and up but cannot be turned around or flip over. It is an excellent camera. I have shot TV shows with it. One thing you need to know is that it does cut off when it gets hot. You can shoot up to maybe 15 min straight then it will shut off. You just have to wait about 5 minutes to turn it back on. Also for shooting outside in the bright sun, you can hardly see the image on the view monitor. I have to put a dark cloth over me and the camera to see it clearly. If you can put up with that, then it's worth it. Takes excellent photos as well.

**Q: what's included in the box? is there a flash? what else is included in the box?**
A: It includes flash, 16.1 mega pixels, full HD 1080, zoom lens (E 18-55 mm), AC adapter, rechargeable battery pack, micro USB cable, CD-ROM, shoulder strap, and beautiful Sony camera shoulder bag.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great camera, decent apps, GPS would still be nice
*by L***E on 25 May 2013*

I upgraded from the original Sony NEX-5 to this. The speed is awesome (shots per second) and I really appreciated the upgrade to 1080p video. The 180° tilt of the screen is awesome and makes self-portraits much simpler. The touch screen is fine for normal menu navigation, although I often just use the click wheel/hard buttons anyway because it's usually faster and I was already familiar with them from the previous camera. Where it truly excels, though, is the feature that lets you tap the screen to take a picture (I don't remember what they call it). It makes it drastically easier to focus on the exact spot you want – no centering the focal point just to focus and then reframing your picture. This, combined with the recharge speed, makes it really easy to capture exactly what you want. The apps are alright. They definitely add some useful functionality (time lapse, non-exposure bracketing, etc.), but take a bit to load. It would be nice if these fairly common features were just included in the default software so they worked more smoothly. One app that is pretty cool is the remote app. This is one of the better uses of the camera's built-in WiFi. My first trip after buying this camera included a visit to Arches National Park. I was able to use the camera's remote app + iPhone app to climb onto a rock formation and position the camera about 50 feet away from one of the arches, then climb back down and get under the arch with my fellow travelers, watch a live stream of video from the camera to help us pose correctly, take a few pictures, review them, and then finally retrieve my camera. The main improvement I think I would still like to have in these cameras is GPS. I love being able to explore my pictures from a map, but there's not a great way to do it with this camera. I've tried Eye-Fi cards with their pseudo-GPS tracking as well as using iPhone apps to create waypoints and merge then with the pictures later, but the overhead is still enough that I usually don't end up tracking it and resort to manually adding geotags later, if I desire. I realize adding GPS could significantly decrease battery life, but this camera isn't exactly made to excel in that department (no optical viewfinder results in a lot of power spent on the LCD). I would rather carry a couple extra batteries (I already always have one spare) than hassle with geotagging solutions. All-in-all, I think this is a good camera. I'm usually not much of a Sony consumer, but I've been pleased with their hybrids, and would consider them in any future upgrades.
