Review on Sony NEX-5N 16.1MP Touchscreen Camera with Interchangeable Lens (Silver) by Glen Braudrick

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great companion camera for Canon 7D owners

I just love this camera, it's really fast and the picture quality is excellent. I used to use a Canon S95 as a companion camera but was completely disappointed with the photos I took with it. I sold S95 and got NEX 5N. Even without a flash, this camera performs very well in low light conditions. If you want to use Flash, here's a great way to get better pictures. Cut out a small business card or any piece of cardboard and adjust it to the width of the included flash. The length is about 1.5 inches. Cover it with aluminum foil and stick it on the flash. This helps reflect the light from the flash onto the ceiling (assuming the ceiling is flat). The result is really well-lit images. Why buy a $100 flash that Sony sells when you can do the same and get the same results?

Pros
  • even an oldie can understand
