SAR reader Mohammed created that nice video with the new Sony NEX-5R. The camera is now shipping in Asia and Europe and according to Amazon US it will ship on October 21th in US. But I also found one camera in Stock and shipping on [shoplink 14788 ebay]eBay US (Click here)[/shoplink].
And here are some more new NEX-5R videos:

So the Remote App is only for pics? No way to shoot videos through it? How is this I don’t even
The NEX-5R + SEL1855 has been shipping in Canada for 2 weeks! Check http://www.henrys.com/ and they have body only version as well.
I am waiting NEX-5R + SEL1650.
I ordered one last night from Amazon (Canadian vendor on US Amazon site) and they shipped it this morning so they’re definitely in the great white North already.
Nice video. Well done Mohammed 🙂
Admin, the camera started shipping a while ago from Sony USA. I got mine last week. And I ordered a long time after it became available for preorder.
Sony NEX-5N AF test http://youtu.be/A3ee8tctZz8
Sony NEX-5R AF test http://youtu.be/PLxFxdq9s1M
AF speed in considerably low light
Looks pretty much the same as video from the NEX-5n. Was this processor supposed to be updated, or just the apps function added? I wonder if low light sensitivity, sharpness, overheating, or moire have been improved upon.
I think the IQ for the most part is the same as the 5N. I think the main differences are the apps, extra control dial, hybrid af, the function button, and the touch shutter function similar to the one on m4/3 cameras that have touchscreens.
Summer is over nearly one month already – also in Canada plus plus 9:31 isn’t “quick unboxing” – but this brings me to the question: Is the video overheating problem solved?
Heating problem looks even more critical from my point of view. I’m playing with both 5n and 5r at this moment (only not shooting 🙂 ) and 5r heating more than 5r in idle. It may be wifi issue and maybe not. I also noticed that battery time decreased as well. Application site is down now. Phase detection not working with my 5n kit. So it’s almost 5n for me No reason to buy
Have you considered that leaving wifi on might be the cause for your decreasing battery life? Sheeesh…
You cannot turn it on and off. Camera turns it on if it needs it (it displays indicator). But i dont know if it power it up on demand or it always powers it.
Hello Someone1.00 , we are all behind you for the Hack 😉
Thanks for your work .
Hi,
Is there any “clicking sound” on the nex-5R like on the nex-5N? I hope this problem is resolved. Thx
Nex-5R seems to have a more sharp image

at second 1:20, but also seems to have more noise.
In this video it seems incredibly moirè free:
