Get the performance of a DSLR, in about half the size and weight with the Sony Alpha NEX-5 interchangeable lens camera. Enjoy Full HD 1080/60i movies, astounding low-light pictures, continuous shooting up to 7 fps, incredible panorama shots and Live View on a tilting 3.0-inch LCD. Unlike conventional DSLR models, the "mirrorless" construction of the NEX-5 reduces the thickness of camera body to just about an inch at its slimmest point (excluding grip and mount portions). The NEX-5 is constructed from magnesium alloy. It offers a newly developed 14.2 megapixel Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor. About 60 percent larger than the sensor in micro four-thirds cameras, this sensor is key to the exceptional image quality, extremely low image noise and creative defocus background effects that are familiar to DSLR users.

Comments about Sony Alpha NEX-5 D-SLR Camera with 18-55mm Lens - Black:
Wow, this camera and lense combo are more than I could have asked for. Very JACKET pocketable and easy to use. The firmware upgrades are fantastic. I look forward to the release of new lenses. I was able to get some fantastic photos with this with little fanfare.
