It is mentioned the nex is the camera for folks who want a DSLR without the expense, superior or complexity of one. (As though this were a cease gap in between point shoots and DSLRs.) Yet, this little camera eclipses most DSLRs. Entry level?!?! Hardly, it is as exotic and tough to use as any DSLR with PASM or as relatively easy as a point shoot making use of Intelligent Automobile.
F a u l t s

-Menus are hard to navigate, sony will likely add extra macros and shortcuts.
-Can't use flash and viewfinder at the identical time.
-Requires fastest memory on the market for highest speed shooting.
P l u s e s

But as the race to construct the largest DSLR continues and you behemoth DSLR owners continue to smirk at the nex, sorry, your old tired technology no longer impresses me. I've owned various DSLRs. Not too long ago sold my nikon D100 and 3 pricey lenses, now have a number of other nikon owners jealous of the excellent and diversity of this small gem. A lot of big DSLR owners are dumping their cameras in favor of the nex. Eliminate the mirrors and you get a smaller camera like the nex.
Update
We are now working with it for closeup product shoots. It takes a lot improved macros than the D100.
Update
Just got the massive 18-200mm lens, it acts additional like a 300mm, pulls in far away objects moreso than typical 200mm. Surprisingly sharp about the edges.

Low angle, tight spaces, a very good amount of manual settings, able to mount older lenses... sounding really good but? This camera is fantastic for all types of shooting with out lugging around a huge DSLR. This pocket sized beast of a camera takes awesome images, supplied you change the stock settings to your liking. Yes, it takes a handful of minutes to fine tune, but as soon as you do you are going to enjoy your shots even far more.
If you're looking for a compact, yet potent camera, the Sony NEX-five is the 1 for you. And for you seasoned photographers out there - don't forget this has an optional lens adapter so you can place some old school lenses on it. I slapped a Leica lens on and the images look phenomenal!
