Sony Alpha NEX-7 review The Sony NEX-7 is the flagship model in Sony's NEX compact system camera (CSC) range that also includes the NEX-5N, NEX-C3, along with the original NEX-5 and NEX-3. More than any Sony CSC to date though, the NEX-7 is aimed squa...
Big, bright ultra high resolution EVF, 10fps burst mode, 1080p60/50 movie mode, PASM modes for movie shooting, Continuous AF in movie mode.
Bracketing limited to +/-0.3 or +/-0.7EV, Poor menu layout and organisation, Movie button easy to accidentally press, AF struggles in poor light, Limited selection of native E-mount lenses.
Ever since the NEX range was launched, photography enthusiasts have been waiting for a model that would exploit its potential to the full and the NEX-7 finally delivers on that promise. What makes the difference is the outstandingly good electronic vi...
