Digging this camera. Takes great pictures.

This camera is amazing! The best I've had up until now is my Minolta A2 and small pocket cameras. My first weekend with this camera I didn't have time to study the manual so just started shooting in full auto. I am very happy with the results...no...Extremely happy!!! Since then I've been taking shots in manual and it just keeps getting better. I've always wanted a dslr but the size and complexity kept me away. The Sony Nex-5n has all the features I've always lusted for in dslr's all while being tiny in comparison (With a pancake lense you literally can put this in your pocket). Other things I love are the easy, intuitive menu system, the quality feel of the camera and how it actually teaches you how to use it with built-in tips and help screens. Also, it's faster than anything I've had before (only about 3-4 seconds to power on and start taking pictures in full auto). The only con I have is I wish the custom button feature gave access to more functions, but I knew this from the reviews so can't really complain. Overall I would recommend this camera to anyone I know from rank amature to pro...i'm that exited about it!

The 5N produces great images even in low light. Coming from a DSLR it is an adjustment to learn the controls to operate in PASM modes, but well worth the effort. I do miss a viewfinder and a full assortment of lenses which I'm sure will come.
