The Sony NEX series of cameras have been wildly successful since their introduction with good reason. Sensor size, resolution and image quality are all squarely in the DSLR realm and the video specs have always been superb. The 16 megapixel NEX-5R demonstrates Sony’s evolution as a camera manufacturer as they continue to improve on already good products in response to enthusiast demand. The end users are the winner in this process as the top-notch image quality of the NEX-5N is preserved with some useful improvements added to the functionality of the camera.

The most notable physical change on the Sony NEX-5R is a new control dial and programmable function button the top of the body. The control dial allows direct control of aperture, shutter speed or other functions depending on the camera’s exposure mode - greatly aiding settings adjustment. The function button allows the shooter to select between autofocus modes, metering modes, white balance, AF/MF, picture effects and can be programmed with numerous other possibilities. The LCD touch screen provides and exceptionally easy interface on land.
