Sony Alpha NEX-5R First Impressions Review

Design & Appearance

If you've ever seen the NEX-5N, then you've pretty much seen the NEX-5R. That is, except for the large new control dial, which displaces the video and playback keys off to the left. The battery compartment is still huge, and indented for extra grip. Most of the body is plastic, with more rounded corners than the NEX-7, but it still doesn't feel quite as..."entry-level" (okay, cheap) as the NEX-C3.
