It is an awesome little camera but there are limitation. For me, I wish the manual mode and the menu's were a little easier to navigate. Also, when you put a bigger lens on, it takes a little time to adjusted to weight imbalance. Besides that though, it take very high quality pictures and video. Personally, I think it is best with the smaller pancake lenses. Then it practically becomes a pocket camera. I have seen them for sale on Ebay and Amazon for about $699. It is probably the best P&S camera.

Thanks for the review. But does it work similar to a p&s or is it more of an SLR that is just more compact. What camera are you using?..

Its really more like a P&S but with a lot of similar features to a DSLR. You just do not have quite enough manual controls to really consider it like a DSLR. The presets are pretty good though and you can manipulate them a fair bit. Really, the selling point is that you can get almost the same image quality of a DSLR in a package that is the same size as a pocket camera. It great for convenience.I sell them at my job so I have used it.
Personally, I use a Pentax KX as my main camera right now. I like it a lot. It is probably the best value in DSLR cameras right now.

Wow you have the Pentax KX thats expensive.. Maybe I'll stick with this Sony NEX-5. Last question which do you think is better Sony NEX-5 or the Panasonic Lumix GF-1?.. Thanks again for your response.
