I bought two nex5 back in the day and I agree with your recommendation for the newer 5 models. The original 5 has some annoying quirks, but for stills, I find it very usable, even 10 years later! Good to see a 2020 video discussing these cameras :)
He Fox, still watching this in 2023. Just started out with photography and filmmaking. First body I bought was the Nex3n. But definitly want to upgrade to the nex5n know thanks to your advice. Thanks for all your videos about the nex series. Hope your having a nice day.
This guy's assesments are essentally made on how good these cameras are for video/vlooging. Not a word about the other relative merits of each. I have a Nex-3 and also a Nex-3N. The 3N is smaller and lighter than the 3. One of the results of that is that it doesn't sit so easily in the hands, and is rather awkward for one handed use.
I’ve the NEX 5n and NEX 7 which I use with both “Zonies,” and Vintage Rollei/Zeiss MF lenses. I love the bigger light gathering pixels of the 5n for night and low light shots, and the 7 for Video, daytime shooting, and big prints. I love the almost “Medium Format Feel” of the NEX 7’s Negatives, because the software corrects soooo much aberration, distortion, and has such wonderful HDR like Jpegs
After watching *this video*, I bought a NEX-C3 and after one of the other ones I watched last week, I bought an a5100 because of you. These are both so far since I found your channel a couple weeks ago. (Definitely not because of my own GAS, this is all your fault, just to be clear.) I already had a ZV-E10 but I wanted to set up a few cameras for different things and keep them setup, rather than swapping bits all the time on a single one. I'm thrilled with all the choices, led by your guidance and good info. Thanks!
Greetings from Russia. Thanks to your video, I saw that my screen on the NEX-5 can turn down (WOW!), and this is after 1 year of use. Success in your work!
Great Stuff. I own a NEX 3N and 5R - love them both. Agree with your suggestions so NEX 6 on the way. You place looks great. Good to have a couple of colors in the background. Good work on these. Peace!
I use a Sony NEX-7 camera which I converted to full time infrared photography... Great little camera at a great price. I love the size and the fact that it will accept all of my e-mount lenses as well as lenses converted to e-mount with adapters....
Everybody hates the powerzoom 16-50, but I find it a really useful and supercompact option. Have a look at some reviews and pictures, you can pick them up cheap.
hello, a question that is eating my head, if I wanted to buy a camera to carry it all the time and take photos and videos, would a nex 5, nex 3n or nex f3 be better for me? The idea is to be able to use it as a 2nd camera together with an a6000, but always take it with you, take photos and create clips for content What can you recommend me?
Interesting review. I had a 5n for many years then I decided to change it to 5100. Which was not much smaller but the grip suffered greatly. Apart from the more dense matrix I did not find any special advantages there. With a good lens 5n body opens up a world of almost professional photography if you know how to use it. Now I sometimes use Panasonic gx 800 it is about the same size but the lenses for it are smaller and cheaper. However it's better not to even try to take it with you after sunset
Watched quite a few of your Sony cameras videos.. You are doing good job. I agree your background setup looks very nice! Pls did any of NEX 6 firmware updates bring clean HDMI output option to that camera?
Hi Fox. I just bought a Sony NEX 5t after watching your videos. Thing is: I am in Europe and it offers only a 25p Movie choice, no 24p. Is ther a workaround this European stuff to allow shooting 24fps on this camera here? Thanks.
I have had a NEX-6 since it first came out but only now (during corona downtime) have I really started learning to use it. I have the kit lens and a Sony 55-210 telephoto. I'd like to buy my first prime lens and based on your videos, I am leaning towards the Sigma 16mm 1.4. If you have a different recommendatiom, please let me know. Be safe! Judy in NH.
i gave seconde life to my Sony nex 5N by pairing it with Sigma 18 50mm f2.8 and sigma 30mm F1.4, this old camera perform well with this new lenses, i m happy i downloaded same app from playmemories for my camera like Focus Bracketing, time laps and stop motion, today impossible to have this fonction in new camera
I have a NEX-5T: what type of lenses should I buy? Where can I get some second-hand lenses? I heard I could use an adapter to mount Canon lenses...would that be convenient? Is it because there are more second-hand Canon-type lenses around? (Very beginner here...sorry!) Thank you for your videos!!
I have a nex 3n and i can't realize wich microphone is a good choice for it. I don't like to much the original sound. Do you have any advice? Any mic you can recommend?
Hi from Malaysia. Just bought a Used Sony Nex 5N after watching your video and it come with kit len 18-55mm with USD 168.67. Love it! But has EU firmware which doesnt have MP4 1080 60FPS. It have AVCHD 50i (50FPS) instead
your vids are great and I think the nex6 is super, I don't know if ya know this but the nex 6 was produced in sony's first Indonesian plant, way make for 6-9mo's I think before it was completely destroyed by a earthquake or something, they rebuilt the plant and made it for another year or something before it was hit by another disaster or just closed, going totally off of memory and my facts might be messed up, but it is an extremely well built camera and is absolutely relevant in 2020
I have a question about the nex 5n and nex 6 camera. I wanted to ask if there is a clean hdmi for the camera for streaming to RUclips or for zoom calls etc.
If you can get a 6 for $200.with lens How good is a firmware update you think it's worth it mostly for still I know there's no mic I think the six has a regular hot shoe
Do any of these compete with the Eos M? Especially with the Magic Lantern firmware, but also with the stock one. I've been thinking of the 5R and 5T over these, and trying to figure out which to get for my sister. It would be nice to keep her in the E mount so I can help her find more glass (more familiar with E mount from my A6300), but the Eos M is super appealing to me for the aftermarket firmware support, and it's not like EF glass is bad or hard to come by. Might even be better for her. IDK.
You are going to become an excellent video presenter. Keep going! You'll be smooth and comfortable soon. On the knowledge side, you must do your homework! (For example, not understanding the difference between 1080p and 1080i is very bad, that's super low level stuff)
I was going to buy a NEX 5N or a A5000, but I couldn't live without the viewfinder. The funny thing was, people in my area were selling the 5N and the A5000 for around the same price as the NEX 6 ($160 USD with kit lens).
Nex 5 recoding in 1080 60i not 1080 30p :/ AVCHD or MP4 1440X1080 also Continuous recording is possible for approximately 29 minutes per recording. For MP4, the maximum size of a movie file is about 2 GB=20min
Nice studio there! I've been taking pictures with NEX 5 for quite a long time (never even tried the video option on the camera, I guess I am more interested in photography) but this camera is just great. I am a fine artist not a photographer and NEX 5 provides me with more than I have ever needed. All the Sony cameras are great, but when it comes to talk about lenses Sony really is not a good choice: very high price and limited choice of options. Affordable camera body and unaffordable lens.
@@jrmaphia6552 where are you located? But yeah US ebay has all the cheap sony bodies especially the auctions with bids which is how I got my NEX6 body for 160
thank God finally your just confusing me in the other videos we are on a broke budget we are upgrading to a multicam system and we want to buy them cheap we don't care about audio because we are recording straight into filmora 9. so which one? I love the videos but dang ! and what lens I am doing a cooking show.
you are wrong about Interlaced , download a PC software for Interlacing , playback a movie at 24fps , you know like your video where i see individual images and it pains me to watch , just turn on Interlacing , BANG , its like 60fps ... the way it works is by simulating every other frame , it has a bit of artifacts , if you zoom in but in general is fantastic . And of course you can use it in post , its not BS i tell you , i can not watch movies without it . Because that 15FPS movies that everyone likes (24 fps actually ) i cant take it , its no good for me , i see every image , i have 20/20 eyesight and lightening reflexes , maybe its because of that . Maybe you see it different .

Can you do a video on the different lenses for NEX-6 camera 📸📷
3 years later and I watched all the way through and rewound a lot, while shopping ebay and comparing things to your video lol
After watching *this video*, I bought a NEX-C3 and after one of the other ones I watched last week, I bought an a5100 because of you.

Please do the video on the Nex 3n, I purchased it because of your suggestions. The studio looks great by the way
Thank you!
make some videos on all the settings on the nex and explain what each thing does.
Nice review. Few years ago, I got a used NEX3N, 2 A5100, and 2 A6000. Love using them all and adapting vintage lenses.
Great Stuff. I own a NEX 3N and 5R - love them both. Agree with your suggestions so NEX 6 on the way. You place looks great. Good to have a couple of colors in the background. Good work on these. Peace!
I’d like to watch more in depth of NEX 6 and NeX 3. And love your behind the scene tour.
I watched it all the way through. I was on the way to get one on Ebay for my 10 year old son. Good thing I watch this vid's. Thank you
Oh man! It just most usefull channel for nex users !!!! Subs !
Thank you!
I use a Sony NEX-7 camera which I converted to full time infrared photography... Great little camera at a great price. I love the size and the fact that it will accept all of my e-mount lenses as well as lenses converted to e-mount with adapters....
Should i buy 5n tomorrow?
This was so helpful, thank you!
I watched all the way to end. No mention of mic inputs (or lack of).
Hey you are my go to guy for cheap cameras just subscribed and trust yourself I watched until the end of the video
Hey hey, I’ve just bought an nex-5 would you be able to recommend some lens options for beginners?
50 mm and 28mm skip the terrible 16mm
Everybody hates the powerzoom 16-50, but I find it a really useful and supercompact option.
Have a look at some reviews and pictures, you can pick them up cheap.
helios 44-2 58mm f/2
I watched to the end. As a content creator - not this channel - I prefer long-form videos. Because... I've got a BRAIN
with one is better nex 5n or 5r . what i should buy .?
hello, a question that is eating my head, if I wanted to buy a camera to carry it all the time and take photos and videos, would a nex 5, nex 3n or nex f3 be better for me?
The idea is to be able to use it as a 2nd camera together with an a6000, but always take it with you, take photos and create clips for content
What can you recommend me?
I would try to get an NEX 5n. If not, the NEX 3n is probably the next best option.
Hi! One question: do you recommend me the nex 5n or the a3500? Thanks!
I just got a mostly new NEX 5N for free. I am I new Photography/ videographer would you say the 5n is good to start with
Helpfull video - just picked up a 5n with a Full Spectrum conversion. IR photography, but a friend wants to borrow it for ghost hunting lol
And now there is a port for a external microphone through a 3,5mm Audio Jack over the accessories port.
how do you fix the 'camera error' fault that sometimes happens when the shutter is pressed on these cameras?

what is best to buy.. NEX-5N or NEX-5R?
The NEX 5R is the better of the two :)
@@FoxTailWhipz for Sony A5000 vs NEX-5R who is best to buy?
Hi, Which of these cameras has the fastest focus? (* for photography *)
Nex3(C,N,F)
?Nex 5(N,R,T)
Just bought the nex 6 and i love it...I need more videos...im subscribed and waiting for more vids 🙂
Watched quite a few of your Sony cameras videos.. You are doing good job. I agree your background setup looks very nice! Pls did any of NEX 6 firmware updates bring clean HDMI output option to that camera?
Did they any update
Check out my newest video about HDMI output with NEX cameras :) ruclips.net/video/pesU_-QFBPw/видео.html
Nice video, thank you :-)
Does the nex3 use the same batteries as the nex 5n and 5r ? Do they all use the same battery ?

Now into mirror less cameras , thanks for your video . Running Nikon D3000 and D5000 good video thanks !

Which ine would you recommend for microscopy videos and pictures, weight is a factor, HDMI output.
Which sd card do you use in nex 3n? Thank you
I have a nex 3n and i can't realize wich microphone is a good choice for it. I don't like to much the original sound. Do you have any advice? Any mic you can recommend?
The NEX5 does not have 24p but for some reason in your other video you say it does.
I don't even have $10 but I like this video its making me save money to buy one of these cameras
I have the nex 5n. I guess i should invest in a 7. Thanks for your video! It's been very insightful to me.
yes
Hi from Malaysia.

in uk is the same :/ crazy
Hi, just want to ask if Sony NEX-3N can be attached by a external mic for vlogging for better audio quality? Thank you.
No
Great video. But I've got one question. In Your opinion which camera is better nex 5n (which is a bit more expensive) or nex 5r?
Hi, is it possible to update FW for NEX f3 in 2024?
Hi! Do you recommend me the sony nex 5n or the nikon d5100 for video? Thanks!
I would definitely recommend the NEX 5n for video!

What's your work around for a mic besides recording separately
i do like this studio. pretty neat.
Does the sony nex-5 have wifi connectivity?

Can u do a review on the Samsung nx300 and nx series
Where c3 is positioned in this group ?
It’s right above the NEX 3 and5. Higher megapixels than the NEX 5 but not as good overall as the 5n.
Do any of these compete with the Eos M? Especially with the Magic Lantern firmware, but also with the stock one.

What about the 7?
how are you so natural in front of the camera, and great video sir. you earn a subs here
Nex-5N and Nex-6 are good
You are going to become an excellent video presenter. Keep going! You'll be smooth and comfortable soon.

Hello i have a question can sony nex-3n record video and take pictures at the same time??? Thanks
No you either record or take pictures. Their is software you can use with a video to pull a 1 frame shot out of a video to get a picture
None come with audio input (3.5) or the new/present MIHS.
.
Please suggest rx100 mark 1 vs. nex 6 mostly for photography it will really helpfull. In 150-180$ budget.
The resale on the RX100 that's kind of ridiculous don't pay more than $200
I was going to buy a NEX 5N or a A5000, but I couldn't live without the viewfinder. The funny thing was, people in my area were selling the 5N and the A5000 for around the same price as the NEX 6 ($160 USD with kit lens).
Oh, jeez, where is that at? Been looking, and all been considerably more where I am.
in italy the a5000 goes for 250€ which is like 280$ so you are lucky man
