The Sony Alpha NEX-5N is the fourth model in Sony's NEX line of APS-C format mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras. Just as the NEX-C3 replaces the NEX-3, the 5N is a direct replacement for its predecessor the NEX-5, using the company's latest 16.1MP CMOS sensor in place of the previous 14MP chip. Although the 5N is nearly indistinguishable from the NEX-5 on the outside (and is bound to be regarded as such by many casual observers), it is actually a very different camera, and one that is worthy of serious attention.
The Sony NEX-5n is a great small, portable and well-built compact system camera with all the image quality benefits of an APS-C sensor.
A 16.1-million-pixel sensor, LCD touchscreen and increased shooting rate to 10fps are just three of the upgrades to Sony’s NEX-5N compact system camera. We put it to the test
Sony's NEX-5N packs high end performance in a small body.

IntroQualitySamplesVerdictIntro The Sony Alpha NEX-5N is one of three new NEX models announced by Sony in August 2011.

The NEX-5N builds…

The middle model of Sony's NEX range provides touch-screen controls and Full HD video recording.
They’re all looking pretty much of a muchness. Peas in a pod. Hard to tell one from the other: mirrorless, interchangeable lens cameras. Sony’s NEX approach broke from cover soon after Olympus and Sony had got going with their Micro Four Thirds models. It soon achieved some notice and not a little notoriety because of […]
