Well that was a good read. A very good and thorough review.
Something i heard for the first time:
Shutter speed: bulb (so keeping it open as long as you want)
That can be quite usefull for creative use in combination with a IR-remote. But does anyone know which one can you use on the NEX?
-I hope some company will make some better lenses. Especially a better wideangle prime.
-And a firmware upgrade, from Sony or maybe even preferably from someone else.
” We could easily see the score increasing by 10 percent if the user interface was re-worked.”
-Some more (third-party) accessories like a flash hotshoe.
-EVF? The resolution of the Samsung EVF sounds pretty impressive. ( 921k dots, like the screen of the NEX)
Also, the last panorama picture looks awesome.
Oh, and I still think a touchscreen is a good idea on this camera. I had a Sony DSC-N1 and the touchscreen made more advanced settings much easier to reach.
Pretty much every review I’ve read on these cameras comes to the same conclusion: perfectly good cameras if you are an auto everything type of “photographer”, but avoid like the plague if you understand anything at all about photography. It’s a shame really, I know an advanced model is coming, but it seems like they should have released one idiot-proof model as well as the advanced model at launch instead of two idiot-proof models that are basically the exact same thing.
Eric, that’s not the what the review says. It says iAuto mode is not that good, but someone who can shoot in PSAM mode and fix exposure compensation can get great photos (though interface might annoy him)
“Overall score:

The overall score is pretty stupid if you ask me.
“Oh, and I still think a touchscreen is a good idea on this camera.”
There is no touchscreen on this camera.
@Atkins: I know there isn’t a touchscreen on this camera. But the GH1 and 2 have shown that a combination of buttons and a touchscreen can work pretty well.
My bad. Got you wrong 🙂
The tester is Richard Butler who tested A350 years ago and didn’t know A350 has internal flash just because he didn’t read the manual.
Do you trust that guy ?
After reading all the reviews so far (LetsGoDigital, CNet, dp), I must say even I’d be pretty annoyed to shoot with the NEX-5’s control system, and I’m coming from an Alpha 200! I’m really hoping the NEX-7 will ditch the gimmicks and go for a semi-professional interface.
@ cokin – you are mistaken.
Sony NEX-3 best camera. I am already use this camera.
