Sony Nex 5N - A users review.

I have now had the camera for a good number of months, certainly sufficient to have had experience using the camera in a number of different situations.  When I purchased the camera it came with the standard 18-55 kit lens and at the same time I bought the electronic viewfinder (both a blessing and a pain - more later).  Since then I have bought the 16mm lens and an adaptor to go with an old Canon f/1.8 50mm.  Overall there are some good, in fact excellent, aspects as well as some frustrations.

First the main plus point - image quality is very good, in fact very very good.  Certainly on a par with my Canon 7D which I suppose it ought to be as they have the same size sensor.

"First attempt" - edited

An improved image although still not the best, but gives a better impression of the brightness.

First attempt

My first attempt at this. Now waiting for some bigger bottles to arrive. It is brighter than the photo in reality.
