Sony introduces the “smallest, lightest interchangeable lens camera”. Here are some of the specs:

  • Flash Sync Speed : 1/160 seconds
  • Shutter Speeds : 1/4000 – 30 seconds, bulb
  • Shutter Type : Electronically-controlled, vertical-traverse, focal-plane type
  • Continuous Shooting Speed : Continuous (2.3fps) Speed Priority (7fps)
  • Auto High Dynamic Range
  • Sweep Panorama : Horizontal and Vertical Panorama
  • Effective Picture Resolution : Approx. 14.2 megapixels
  • maging Sensor : Exmorâ„¢ APS HD CMOS sensor (23.4 X 15.6mm)
  • Image Mode : JPEG (Standard, Fine), RAW, RAW+JPEG
  • Video Mode : AVCHD: 1920 x 1080/ 60i MP4 HD: 1440 x 1080/ 30p MP4 VGA: 640 x 480/ 30p

Slick yet still itty-bitty system that pretty much makes the glass the largest part of the camera. Personally I like the idea of the larger than average compact camera sensor. The NEX-5 will set you back $699 with an 18-55mm lens.

Heck you can even pretend it’s a rangefinder… if you’re into that sorta thing.
