  • One of the most customizable models on the market. Sparkling 1080p video at 60 fps
  • Software menu is a bit of a dog's breakfast. Flimsy popup flash. At least 0 too expensive

  • Abstract:  Forum Login The Big Problem with the NEX 7 As reported repeatedly on this site and on many others, Sony made a giant blunder with the location of the video button on the NEX 7. It is in a place on the grip where it constantly gets inadvertently pus...

  • Compact body. 24-megapixel resolution. Articulating LCD. Crisp OLED EVF. Built-in flash. 1080p60 video recording.
  • So-so kit lens. Proprietary hot shoe. Not as good at high ISO as other NEX cameras. Easy to start recording video unintentionally
  • Sony's high-end mirrorless camera, the Alpha NEX-7 is a top performer brimming with features, but a camera of this caliber deserves a better kit lens....

  • In terms of video, Sony is quickly positioning itself as a leader in the interchangeable lens camera market. The NEX-7, like the NEX-5N before it, handled our performance tests with ease, offering some of the sharpest video we've seen from an inte...

  • Outstanding stills, Excellent noise-handling characteristics, Attractive, compact design, Sharp, bright 3-inch LCD display, Ample lens options
  • Expensive, GUI has a definite learning curve, No built-in IS; requires lens with OIS
  • If you’re looking for a camera that’ll last for years and has tons of options to help you grow as a photographer, buy the Sony alpha NEX-7. ...

  • Comfortable, sturdy, and compact exterior, Excellent control setup, High image quality,
  • Annoying file structure for video and stills, Slightly confusing menu interface, Small high quality lens library
  • We can’t help but to think that Sony has itself a really compelling camera system with its NEX family. On the consumer side, the NEX-5n and NEX-C3 bring excellent image quality with beginner friendly point-and-shoot controls to less advanced photograph...

  • 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...
