Why I returned my NEX-5N for future NEX-7

[lapdog99]

I just spent a week photographing a variety of places and activities in Maine, and used my Sony NEX-5N for some of the photos.

Good: FAST, interesting b&w with mono-color, small, kit lens works pretty well

Bad: the clicking in video was unacceptable as is Sony's initial "lube to reduce noise "solution", do miss having a good EVF, and the menu system is awkward if you are changing modes frequently

Decision: return the NEX-5N and order an NEX-7

Note, b&w mono-color from Colorado is attached

Well, there's always this ;-)

NEX-VG10 | Interchangeable Lens Handycam Camcorder | Sony | Sony Style USA

That being said, for me personally, video capabilities in a camera designed for stills has never been a priority or decision point for me....
