Sony reveals new NEX-5N

Sony reveals new NEX-5N: Sony reveals new NEX-5N

Sony has announced a new compact system camera to slot into its existing NEX line-up; with the Sony NEX-5N featuring a 16.1 megapixel APS-C sensor.

Made from light magnesium alloy, the NEX-5N is just 23.3mm at the slimmest point and includes the same quick shutter lag as found on the new NEX-7.

With a release time lag of just 0.02 seconds, it is the fastest in the world. An improved autofocus algorhythm doubles the readout speed from the image sensor and results in an AF that is significantly faster than the current NEX-5 model.

World's highest ISO

The 16.1 effective megapixel resolution is combined with a specially-optimised version of the powerful BIONZ image processing engine. ISO can be boosted to a maximum of 25,600, the highest among mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras.

The NEX-5N is capable of shooting smooth AVCHD Full HD movies at 50p or 25p, while the ability to focus manually and P/A/S/M exposure modes have been included.

For the first time in an E-mount camera, the NEX-5N features new Photo Creativity Touch interface. Background defocus, exposure, picture effect and other adjustments can be previewed, applied and combined via the LCD touch panel and control dial with easy to understand language.

Creative effects

There are now 11 modes and 15 effects, which include HDR Painting, Soft Focus, Miniature, Rich-Tone Monochrome and Soft High-key. 3D Sweep Panorama, Soft Skin, Auto HDR, Handheld Twilight and Anti Motion Blur modes are brought across from other NEX models.

The rear 7.5cm (3 inch) Xtra Fine LCD screen can be angled up to 80 degrees or down to 45 degrees, while the TruBlack technology is designed to reduce on-screen reflections.

The Sony NEX-5N has a UK release date of September 2011. A Sony NEX-5N UK price is yet to be confirmed.
