Which one would you buy? I\'ll likely be using the Sony 18-55 mm lens and some older Nikon lenses on my camera. Can someone please summarize the discussion as to the merits/demerits of each?
If you\'re only planning on using legacy SLR lenses, rather than rangefinder lenses, then there are only a few potential advantages of the NEX-5N
- cost
- touchscreen
- add-on $350 EVF tilts and has on/off button, but adds bulk and cost
- size
- smaller file sizes save HDD space (minor one)
- auto ISO goes to 3200, rather than 1600
Just about everything else that I can think of is as good or better in the NEX-7, and it has more features like a built in level and triNavi controls.
I own the 5N, because I use rangefinder lenses, but, if I was you, I might consider the 7, despite giving up the above list of items.
