Sony NEX-5N 16.1 MP Compact Interchangeable Lens Touchscreen Camera with 18-55mm Lens (Black)
I am writing this review from the perspective of a (Nikon) using a DSLR, my opinion will consist of a review of how to use digital SLR cameras to assess the quality of NEX-5N fit Sony and how they can be combined with ecosystems is a continuation of the DSLR is for people who are not DSLR does not yet get an understanding of how Sony NEX-5N can be seen from the perspective of using a DSLR camera, and. the strengths and limitations of the Vis-a-vis DSLR.
SENSOR.
Sony NEX-5N Sony 16MP APS-C is very similar to the sensors used in Nikon D7000 and the Pentax K-5, and the best reflex in accordance with the first test of the sensor of the Sony NEX. -5N is almost equal to my Nikon D7000 for a wide dynamic range at ISO 100 and the performance of the S / N in the upper part of ISO 1600, 3200, and even the occasional foray up to ISO 6400.
Dimensions and weight control. POCKETABILITY.
As a long time DSLR users now have the size and weight of an SLR camera with a lens big enough and heavy weight (like the Nikon D700 + MB-D10 and 70-200mm f/2.8 VR II. Lens), NEX 5N-'if shocking to me is the small size and light into NEX-5N without battery or lens, NEX-5N is so light and small. as a point and shoot camera that goes hand in hand with the force that keeps the camera. More in a safe and relatively comfortable.
Add in the battery and the 16 mm f/2.8 pancake, increasing the weight and the weight of essa.-5, 6 is a fairly large package. Weight, but still pretty light.
Despite the power of it, I suggest you buy a bracelet for use with this camera. The camera comes with shoulder strap, the lightness of this camera makes it easy and comfortable to carry by hand and / or wrist bracelets also allows the camera is ready for use. one. The strap is used to distribute the weight over a larger area of the camera. The weight of this camera will make the shoulder strap is not necessary. The shoulder strap allows the camera to sway and rock dangerous if you hold it down. This makes it much more convenient wrist strap and easy.
Control.
NEX-5N is not the only one that is perfectly normal reflex, but it works well enough to be small and limited to the NEX-5N is controlled through the touch screen, turn your back. rotation or a combination of both. The touch screen delays somewhat ', while the dial to quickly and immediately.
It was shot in manual mode, aperture priority and it is fairly easy to set up this way: the camera mode. Press the rotary knob or tap the top right of the LCD touch screen takes the user to the options menu. The access mode.
I got a little 'more time to find the controls for shutter speed and aperture in manual mode. It 'clear that the documentation supplied with the Sony camera is not designed for digital SLR camera users have suffered. But once I realized that the shutter modes and aperture to use it very easy to configure and use.
In manual mode, controls the shutter button, press the "down" for the rotary switch to control the opening and the select button allows users to edit the opening.
With aperture priority mode, the control panel to set the aperture and press the "down" allows the user to adjust the exposure compensation function.
With both forms of the "left" allows users to edit mode. (Single, Continuous, timer over a distance).
ISO, white balance modes and measurement are easily accessible through the menu options more tedious. For whatever reason, Sony has chosen to group these features under the "Brightness / Color" menu "Settings" menu.
Under the "Settings" menu has a few goodies that are worth remembering. This camera will allow users to choose between three grids in the EVF option available is the law of 3rds (3 x 3 grid), a square grid (6 x 4 grid) and Diagonal + Square (6. X 4 x the positive-grid ) NEX-5N is a function of AF Micro Focus is a very useful function when the target is - what is good for the NEX-5N.
NEX-5N has a button that can be programmed for various applications in the shooting mode, PASM, I used two of these for ISO and white balance under the "Settings" menu, "you can take the key and then use .. I the right key for that rotary dial to set the white balance and ISO for the function keys. Using custom software, and press C. You can add a measurement mode, AF mode, AF area and AF / MF. Omitting the details on how to proceed with the setting, just enough to say that under the set. the current value of i is very fast and very easy to shutter aperture, ISO and WB - the minimum required when using DSLR.
The reason is that I can easily adapt to the NEX-5N is that I'm using a different camera. In contrast to the experience early on when you use a camera with two similar controls (Nikon D300 and D700), passing back and forth from one camera to another, more simple and convenient that he has since sold my D300. My idea is to learn the camera and its different than that required to maintain a consistent set of controls that vary between cameras. This background will help the reader understand why I have no objection to the control of the NEX-5N, which is contrary to what is the meaning of the owners have complained of DSLR.
Motion to strike.
You can take pictures with the camera in three different ways - first way is to use the phone's LCD screen and use the second method is to use a cell phone, do not use the viewfinder. The third method was to stay on the LCD screen on the back of it.
Previously I have owned several point and shoot camera (a Panasonic LX-3, Canon S-90, etc.), are well aware of the limitations, restrictions on the target, the writing and focus on that. Using the camera's LCD screen rear arm forward with this limitation, in turn, led me to sell these cameras and gave me a GH2 Fujifilm and Panasonic X100, both of which also has an integrated viewfinder.
