The Sony Alpha NEX-5 is part compact, part DSLR. It's 10 oz body houses a 14.6 CMOS APS-c sensor, plus lots of other top notch features such as a 3" tilting LCD, 7 fps burst mode, and full HD movie recording. I think it's a good camera for those upgrading from a point and shoot. I explain myself in this week's podcast.

Your podcast was nice & informative. I want to buy Sony NEX camera and am looking for some reviews. This camera has just been launched in India. Now I am exploring its use and other features and want its reviews from users. I saw some very nice sample photos posted by Sony India at http://www.flickr.com/groups/sonyindianex5/
Just wanted to check if any users has posted some images taken from NEX5. Would you have any pics clicked by the NEX5? How are the results? Pls advice, as I want to buy this camera soon.
