Conclusion
|
The NX210 is only a minor update of the NX200. In fact, the only major addition is the Wi-Fi function. The image quality is good, but the camera's a tad too slow and lacks the charm of the Sony NEX and Panasonic GF5. |
The Sony NEX-5N is, without a doubt, the must-have interchangeable lens compact of the moment! It has an ultra-compact build, good all-round responsiveness, great picture quality in photo and video modes and a good range of customisable controls. What more could you ask for? |

Cons
|
- No built-in flash (external flash included) - Slow to start & shoot (especially with RAW) - Screen doesn't tilt, isn't touch-enabled - Autofocus "pumping" in video mode |
- High-gloss LCD prone to glare in bright sunlight / Tilt rather than full swivel screen - No built-in flash (separate flash accessory supplied) - No built-in stabilisation - 18-55 mm kit lens could be better / Limited choice of lenses unless you buy an adapter ring - Noisy shutter release (not exactly discreet!) |
