  • Annoying file structure for video and stills, Slightly confusing menu interface, Small high quality lens library
  • We can’t help but to think that Sony has itself a really compelling camera system with its NEX family. On the consumer side, the NEX-5n and NEX-C3 bring excellent image quality with beginner friendly point-and-shoot controls to less advanced photograph...
