Review: Amazing camera - I just love this camera. I bought this to replace my old original NEX-3. There is a lot to love. -Great battery life. My old NEX-3 eats up battery pretty quick. To my surprise, the NEX-5R lasts significantly longer. -Function button and extra dial on the top. One of the challenge in using the NEX-3 outside auto mode is the minimum amount of physical control available for you. There is only one rotating dial, making things harder when you want to adjust things. On the 5R, there's an extra dial on the top right and a function button, allowing you to access a quick menu for common settings. This makes the shooting experience in other modes, even on manual, much more usable. -Wifi. Yes, this camera has wifi that allows you to upload a resized JPEG shot to the Sony PlayMemories app on your smartphone/tablet. Even better, you can set up your phone/tablet to be a wireless viewfinder for the camera. Refresh rate is fairly low because of wifi, but it's a great thing to have. Imagine having the camera in one corner of a room, and you are taking pictures from the other side of the room using your iPad. Not much controls you can do from the app though, but it's a neat concept. -180 degrees screen swivel. The screen swivel 180 degrees up so you can take selfies easily. Well, it's not just for selfies, but it makes things easier in certain situations, allowing you to keep seeing the viewfinder instead of guessing when composing. -Touch screen. Touch screen allows easy focusing. You can also interact with the menus via touch (unlike some Olympus micro 4/3rds). -Phase detection auto focus. A firmware update adds phase detection auto focus. It's supposed to allow faster auto focusing. I'm not technical enough to notice any differences though. Also, some lenses' firmwares have to be updated too to take advantage of this. -One weird thing is that Sony is selling "apps" for this camera. Yes, there's an app store. I doubt people would be willing to pay for any though., and I also doubt we will see 3rd party developers doing anything for this really niche app store. -Also an annoying thing is how Sony design the settings menu. It takes too much scrolling just to get to some settings. Luckily there's that function button. -Lastly, it didn't come with an external battery charger. Yes, just like most modern smartphones, Sony wants you to charge the battery in-camera, via USB charging. This makes charging a spare battery highly inconvenient. On the bright side, if you are low on battery, you can simply charge it with your phone charger or many USB external battery packs out there. An awesome camera. Coupled with some of the great E-mount primes, like the 35mm f1.8 or the 50mm f1.8, you can get stunning pictures, on a device that is a fraction of the size of a typical APS-C DSLR. The only concern I have is that Sony considers the NEX as a consumer lineup, so don't expect long term support in terms of firmware updates. The NEX-3 stopped getting any further firmware updates fairly quickly. Sony already release a newer version of this, the NEX-5T.
Review: Interesting, full of bells and whistles, Image just average. - Maybe I'm just old fashion, but this camera came short on image quality, the G15 is better at half the price. For $1100 (including average lens) there are many other cameras with better image quality. If you are going for the convenience/geeky features, then this camera is great and leads the pack by a long shot. The phone interface is great! To me that fact remains, a camera should take good pictures first,else I just get a Galaxy 4 at 12 MP, already includes a lot of the same toy features for no money. IMHO if you want good pictures get a real SLR. Entry level consumers should be happy with it, considering that most people seldom print larger than 8X10 in anyway, they will never notice the shortcomings of this baby. Sony is banking on that, I'm sure.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this lot (Sony NEX-5RK/B 16.1 MP  with 18-55mm and 55-210mm Lenses) realy contains 18-55 AND 55-210 Lens for $698? Not mistake?**
A: It only contains the 18-55mm lens.  No 55-210mm lens.

**Q: How about low light performance? Great or average? Thank you**
A: Great，I use the sigma 30mm f2.8 lens, it's just approximate 1 pound. I bought it cost $449 with 18-55 and sigma 30mm lens is 120 dollar~

**Q: Does the screen flip 180 degrees? Like for selfies?**
A: No it does not. It just pulls away and up but cannot be turned around or flip over. It is an excellent camera. I have shot TV shows with it. One thing you need to know is that it does cut off when it gets hot. You can shoot up to maybe 15 min straight then it will shut off. You just have to wait about 5 minutes to turn it back on. Also for shooting outside in the bright sun, you can hardly see the image on the view monitor. I have to put a dark cloth over me and the camera to see it clearly. If you can put up with that, then it's worth it. Takes excellent photos as well.

**Q: what's included in the box? is there a flash? what else is included in the box?**
A: It includes flash, 16.1 mega pixels, full HD 1080, zoom lens (E 18-55 mm), AC adapter, rechargeable battery pack, micro USB cable, CD-ROM, shoulder strap, and beautiful Sony camera shoulder bag.

### ⭐ battery connector issues.
*by P***N on August 4, 2026*

The battery connector is broken, so the whole camera loses power every few seconds until you wiggle it. Not worth it.
