Sensor
Date:March 8, 2013
Pros: nice looking camera
Cons: dirty sensor
I received my Sony NEX 5r. I am very disappointed with the quality. I am so happy when I open the box, is nice and pack, got the camera out and take pictures of the kids outside with nice sunday afternoon, and to very nice video as well. I check the pictures and video on the computer and I see spotty everywhere, at first I thought my lense is dirty. I clean it and when out took some pictures. Still see dirty spots on the pictures. Then I took off the lense and look at the sensor with 5x magnify. I can see the sensor is dirty, it seem like Solder splash all over it. I sent the camera back. Thinking about getting different camera such as Nikkon.

Awesome camera!
Date:December 4, 2012
Pros: WiFi, compact, image quality
This is my first compact system camera after finally upgrading from a point-and-shoot (cybershot). I really like the size of this camera and the quality is really fantastic. I've taken a few photography classes and know my way around a dark room so this was my first venture into digital photography and I think the NEX-5R is a perfect transitional camera for someone looking to upgrade. Check out the photos I took at the Target Holidazzle parade. While I am an employee of Sony, these opinions are my own.

Stunning Video Quality!!
Date:November 3, 2012
Pros: Light weight, extremely portable, powerful with amazing video quality. Very very versatile.
Cons: Can only use on main accessory at a time which is really anoying. Example: If you use the flash, no room for veiw findr
I am usually a dedicated Canon user, as such my main unit was the Canon T3i. Problem is that I need to be able to record 1080p 60p (60fps). Almost all Canon DSLR's are incapable of doing this simple task, as well as Nikon's.
I've found that most Sony DSLR's do... but I also travel to Tokyo often, and needed something a little more portable. I originally planned to get this cam for my fiance'.. but once I tested it out for myself, it was perfect.
The stills are awesome, and the camera is very compatible with my Mac, and editing software such as Aperture, Final Cut, and Adobe Photoshop and Premiere Pro. Also Lightroom, and iPhoto but not so great with iMovie. Compressor and Motion are great too.
The articulated touch screen is a HUGE plus. With the fact that I can also mount Sony DSLR lens to this unit with optional adapter was a huge selling point for me. The auto focus on this thing is phenomenal!! To say the least.
I've actually uploaded a video of 1080p 60p on YouTube... check it out
