Gratitude to Sony Wellington, New Zealand for letting me test out the new Sony NEX cameras<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The NEX series of Sony\u2019s new mirror less interchangeable lens cameras equipped with APS-C sensor in a very tidy body. When I first put my hand on it, I can feel the build quality is top notch. The NEX-5<\/a> is a bit smaller in size and has a better grip than the NEX-3<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The auto focus is fast, in camera option menu and shutter are responsive. The shutter sound does sound like a real shutter.<\/p>\n

The lenses are also very compact and with excellent build quality.<\/p>\n

Let the images speak for them self, Enjoy<\/p>\n
