What is the Sony NEX-5R? The Sony NEX-5R is the third iteration of the growing ‘5' strand of the NEX series. Although it takes a host of its design cues from its predecessor – the Sony NEX-5N – it is in fact a complete different camera, featuring a specif...

The NEX-5R is the product of Sony's continuing refinement of its compact system cameras. We're already fans of the interchangeable lens series, and found the previous NEX-5N model to be a little star in the image quality department, but a little behind in...
Great image quality, small yet sensible size, hands-on controls added, improved buffer opens up burst shooting, better AF speed than predecessor, tilt-angle screen bracket doesn't add to bulk...
Low-light autofocus lacks feedback and accuracy, autofocus not quite as fast as the competition, still some menu digging required, Wi-Fi operation not as smooth as we'd like, not taken by PlayMemories app service, battery life could be better...
On paper the NEX-5R may not sound all too different from its 5N predecessor in the core areas, and in many ways it's not. But the addition of a thumbwheel and function button goes a long way to making it a better camera to use and, therefore, it's a...

If you're considering spending £500 on a camera, you can expect a massive jump in quality over smartphones and compact cameras. However, that doesn't necessarily mean you want a bulky, complex SLR. Compact system cameras (CSCs) provide the best of both...

The size and shape of this camera is great. Even with the lens attached it still feels compact because of its slim body and the bulging, textured side provides a perfect grip. Through a feat of engineering, this slim device even comes with a rear screen c...
The NEX-5R has a few of niggling issues that seem small at first but could have a detrimental effect on the user experience in the long run, but the biggest problem is the auto focus. For me, this would need to be improved greatly for me to put my faith i...

Both of these mirrorless lens-switchers are the third-generation models in popular series of cameras. They don't have much in common otherwise, though, as the Sony NEX-5R is a close descendent... Our camera lab is pretty busy at the moment, with all kind...

The Sony NEX-5R is a logical successor to the NEX-5N with a few improvements to design and handling and added Wi-Fi functions. Although it sounds great on paper, we weren't entirely convinced by the app store system. Plus, the slow start-up ultimately mak...

It's almost like Sony doesn't want to sell NEX-7s anymore. Apart from a few key missing features—the built-in viewfinder, Tri-Navi control setup, and higher-res sensor—the NEX-5R not only surpasses its predecessor, but competes directly with the top of th...

It's a very good camera, and the new autofocus is noticeably faster than the AF system on previous NEX cameras. But it's changed the price situation on the whole NEX series — the excellent NEX-F3 is only $599. So are these improvements really worth it? Ma...

The image quality is excellent, as is to be expected from a sensor also used in DSLRs. The WiFi sharing with smartphones is brilliant – just download the PlayMemories Mobile app and the camera and phone find each other and start communicating in a trice.
This is a beautiful camera, but the beauty is bought at the expense of useability. Even with the touch screen access it is a nuisance to have to go into the menus to set shooting mode. Such basic controls should be on the camera body. And sadly the otherw...
