  • Settings via menus can be time consuming

  • Abstract:  Dans le monde de l'informatique et même de la high-tech au sens large, il est fréquent que des produits issus d'une même gamme reprennent des spécificités communes. C'est le cas des NEX-3 et NEX-5 de Sony, deux appareils photo numériques un peu part...

  • Port flash absolument insupportable, Manque d'accès directs aux réglages, Prise en mains peu adaptée à certaines morphologies, Démarrage un peu long
  • Le Sony NEX-5 est un appareil étonnamment compact, d'une qualité extrêmement convaincante en photo comme en vidéo et qui prend l'utilisateur par la main. En revanche, il ne s'adresse absolument pas au photographe expert, qui sera immédiatement frustré ...

  • compacité, légèreté, facilité d'utilisation, qualité d'image (photo et vidéo), qualité de l'écran, finition
  • lenteur à l'allumage et à la sortie de veille, autonomie
  • Pour Sony, le nouveau type d’appareil photo numérique que sont les compacts à objectif interchangeable se veut « très » compact, simple d’utilisation et héberge un capteur de Reflex : l’Alpha NEX-5 en est la première illustration....

  • Après 15 jours passés en compagnie du Sony NEX-5, difficile de ne pas être séduit par ce petit compact à objectifs interchangeables. Si le zoom transstandard 18-55 mm s'avère un peu encombrant, équipé du 16 mm f/2,8, le NEX-5 vous suivra dans vos moind...

  • Abstract:  Ho notato che una delle fotocamere che ha destato maggiore interesse tra i nostri utenti è stata la Sony NEX 5. Subito dopo la recensione, ed ancora oggi, ricevo email con richieste di informazioni e "consigli sugli acquisti" riguardo questa mirrorless. A...

  • Ottimo corpo in lega, robusto, compatto e con buona impugnatura, Sensore APSC in dimensioni minime, Display grande e luminoso, inclinabile e con sensore di luce ambientale, Buona la resa ad alti ISO, Controlli semplici, ma tutte le funzioni più importanti
  • La soluzione del flash esterno è interessante, ma il meccanismo a vite un po' povero, Si sente la mancanza di un obiettivo pancake da 35mm
  • Quando l'argomento è la qualità siamo un po' tutti restii ad accettare compromessi, ma in fondo ogni scelta è operata in base a questi. E se il tentativo di "ponte" tra i due mondi concretizzatosi nelle bridge non ha per nulla soddisfatto il palato degli...
