- Best compact cameras: The best point-and-shoot-cameras available to buy today Best DSLR cameras: The best interchangeable lens cameras available to buy today
To recap
The NEX-5 turns the interchangeable system on its head by offering the most compact-like solution yet to be seen. It’s a breeze to use, if not a little limiting due to lack of buttons to adjust more advanced settings, and has snappy and accurate autofocus. However it’s with image quality where the NEX-5 really comes up trumps; crisp and clear quality stands head and shoulders above its rivals
