Sony NEX-5 with 16mm pancake lens

As cameras to literally just point and shoot the NEXs do pretty well, which will be enough for some people [but] we’d be hard-pushed to think of an interchangeable lens camera less appropriate for a keen photographer. In conclusion, the NEX system shows a great deal of promise but we’d strongly advise waiting for the next generation of products.

We’ve added another Sony NEX-5 [QuickPrice Check] (and Nex-3) review to our Reviews Matrix.
