With the popularity of mirror-less, interchangeable lens camera systems with ample-sized sensors continually growing at a steady rate it was inevitable that other companies would jump on the bandwagon. Sony is the latest contender, and on paper it looks like it packs a lot of potential, with a 14 megapixel APS-C sized sensor and a whole host of other features that include sweeping panorama, HDR and smile shutter. But it also looks the part, with a very sleek body. Does it perform as well as it looks? Pricing Reference: www.digitalrev.com

A video review of the Sony NEX-5 interchangeable lens camera. Read our full review at: www.mobiletechreview.com This is Sony's first ILC camera and it's currently the smallest ILC camera and smallest camera with an APS-C sized (standard DSLR sized) sensor. It comes with the Olympus PEN cameras among others, and it's slightly more affordable. The Sony has a 14 megapixel CMOS sensor and it can shoot both photos and video up to AVCHD 1080p res at 60fps with stereo audio. It's available with two kit lens options and we look at both: a 16mm f2.8 and a 3x zoom 18-55mm f3.5-5.6. If you want the quality of a DSLR but the simplicity and light weight of a point and shoot, the NEX-5 and it's brother then NEX-3 are worth a look. The NEX5 has a metal body and lens mount and comes with a screw-on flash.

What is it? A small, lightweight camera with the large imaging sensors found in DSLRs as well as interchangeable lens capability. Not only that, the new Sony NEX-5 shoots AVCHD 1080i video without the focusing hassles of bulkier DSLRs, has a 7 fps burst mode and will even take 3D-ready Sweep Panorama images. Its truly a breakthrough camera and even if youre not in the market to spend over $600 for a camera, you should play with it at a local store.
