Your Compact Digital Camera with Interchangeable Lens

Really great innovations in digital photography have let camera manufacturers to create a compact digital camera with interchangeable lens. Although there are still a lot of great point-and-shoots out there, but one striking type of camera that comes to mind is the NEX series of Sony.

The concept of the NEX series is to provide digital camera enthusiasts with DSLR image quality pictures, but without the bulky size and weight of most DSLR. In fact, the size and weight of these NEX series are just about half the size of a conventional DSLR so it is easy to use and bring anywhere.

If you are going to look for an interesting camera, the Sony Nex-5 and NEX-3 will mostly blow you away since this is first interchangeable lens that is designed to tackle continuous autofocus and exposure adjustment while recording video. It also has a 14-megapixel Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor is responsible for the high quality images for both of the two cameras. It has an E-mount interchangeable lens system so you can choose the perfect lens to suit any shooting conditions, just like a DSLR. It also has a High speed burst shooting that can capture fast-moving action with rapid burst shooting up to 7 frames per second.

It can shoot fantastic photos, with its 16-24mm equiv lens, also has an HD video, innovative controls, panoramic shooting mode, creates sharp photos, and it also has cool screen flexibilities. In terms of specifications the NEX-5 and NEX-3 are essentially identical. However, NEX-5gets slightly smaller magnesium alloy body, an infrared remote receiver and 1080i AVCHD movie recording. Although the two cameras have 50% sensors larger than the Micro Four Thirds format, but they are still built smaller and thinner.

Some may feel scared holding it and may think that the lens may take the weight of the body on the contrary, it is easy to hold and encourages a stable two-handed grip. And for those who are truly camera enthusiasts, Sony also released their proposed E-mount lenses for their Sony NEX series, which are the wide fixed focal length CZ, Telephoto zoom, Macro, Portrait, High performance standard zoom G, Wide zoom, and Mid-telephoto. With the coming of such digital cameras, it is no wonder that more and more people will look forward to having this.
