It's 2022 and I'm using Sony Alpha NEX-5N and it still 💯🔥

UPDATE: I didn't know about picture profiles when making this video, setting it to "portrait" with all the values to the minimum offers much more room to color grade and pushes a little more dynamic range out of the camera. But the bitrate (idk if that's the right term) recorded is fairly low, so a basic contrast adjustment with a fairly conservative grade is pretty much as far as you can push it. I'd keep the saturation untouched and lower the contrast as far as possible. A lot of the problems can be solved for ~$50 USD, a cage for the shoe mount, capture card and a phone mount for a larger/more articulate-able monitor and audio recorder. There are tutorials online on using a capture card with a phone. I also have the NEX 6, the autofocus is a lot better but I still use a manual lens on it most of the time. I didn't expect to use Playmemories as little as I did, the only upgrade I'd really consider would be going to the NEX 7 for the higher resolution. Thanks for reading through this huge wall of text, and I'll see you when I see you!

I have this camera. I actually use it for product photography and I love it man. I have been looking to find excuses to get another pricier camera, but this thing is just perfect for what I use it for

The B roll at the beginning is awesome, the only thing I'd do differently (if possible ofc) is bump the framerate a bit so when you slow your footage down, it's smoother. Other than that though, great video! I love the videography!

Actually entertaining, though I was playing at 2x speed lol. Some cuts and transitions were good enough to watch again, then at normal speed. Subbed to see where you'll go

I love my nex 5t. its always with me. 👌🏻

Loved my nex-5n

I bought this camera new in 2012 and have taken many thousands of images with it. But, the vid footage is just OK for 1080p, and only if on a tripod. The thing is, though, stills are surprisingly excellent with the 18-55 OSS kit lens - it really is one of the best kit lenses of that era like the Fujifilm 18-55. Pairing it with E-mount adaptor/charity shop Pentax lenses (Fotodiox - PK-NEX), the images are brilliantly sharp over 250th. Downsides are the poor screen, the horrible menu and the awful jog dial and buttons - easy to press but easy to set to a different function/value unwittingly. Having looked better at the comments now, many seem to have the same experience, but still love it!

Nice camera.. may i know what is your phone that cam take a 4k video? Which one do you choose for taking a video, your phone or Sony Nex 5? Thanks

I bought my NEX 5N in 2012. I have the mic, flash mount, several lenses, and the camera is still amazing. My cons are the menus. they are too convoluted and take time to set up. If you need to adjust for a quick photo opportunity forget. What pisses me off is the limit of 30 minutes for recording. I read somewhere that this was implemented to differentiate a camera of a camcorder that for some reason is taxed in Europe in different ways. I don't know if this is true. To summarize, even with the cons, the pros even after 10 years still make this camera a good deal. The only thing I miss because back in the day when I bought the camera the money was getting short is to not have a macro lens. Thanks for the video making a new review on the camera.

Produces still better pics than latest iphones??

For just a little more money go for the nex 6. Hotshoe. No overheating (or clicking) in video. Built in flash. Viewfinder (better than the one in the a6000). More dials so less menu diving.

Need some help with my nex 5n. Havent used it in a while. WHen i did, somehow it got stuck to focus mode. The screen displays whatever scene the lens is aimed at, nothing else. Buttons no longer work, no words or numbers displayed on screen, even the off switch doesnt work. Only way to shut it down is removing the battery. Once you put battery back, and switch it on, same problem. Ive tried putting a new battery, didnt help. Thanks to anyone who can help me resolve the issue.

What do you think for using it for TikTok?

I actually snag a nex 5n for a 120 canadian in my area with a few accessories. I was originally spending my money on a canon m50 mk II or a used a6000 but i thought to myself, if i dont get in to a hobby id be wasting money on expensive camera and 120 dollars isnt a big deal. Been enjoying the camera though. Ive only been mostly using it for photography. Im saving up for a dedicated video camera but it ill probably take quite a while hahhaha

Hi! Do you recommend me the nex 5n or the a3500? Thanks!

Please do a video on all your settings

Do the sony nex-ea50uh please. What’s the modern equivalent also

Good camera and now a audio in Jack exist that allow to use a 3,5mm Audio Jack microphone

카메라에 있는 사진을 스마트폰으로 보낼 수 있나요?

Hi! Do you recommend me the nikon d5100 or the sony nex 5n? Thanks!

for me Nex series or A5xxx or the A6000 are easily the best/budget wise you can get with videos WITH interchangeable lens system(if you dont mind the colour tinge)... any of the old DSLR just dont look rite to me... even the Canon EOS M which many people claims to be great is not really, people are overhyping the MagicLantern mod for it and unlimited recording...while it may "enable" ultra high bitrate but theres no much data captured into those "high bitrate" videos... you can see it when people post their EOS M video there are artifacting anyways... a Sony A5100 is way better imo in real life.... with the old m43 system camera and fuji mirrorless they look bad too as well with stuff like demoire effects...

hii...can i know how long is the battery life for this camera?

Can I use this a camera for Zoom meeting?

im no sure need a check but this camera record 1080i in 60fps not 1080p !

I have this camera with 18-55 sel kit lens... u will be amazed if u put a sigma 30mm or35mm 1.4 lens on it.. they cost more than the camera body but they do all the work

Anyway to have unlimited recording time? I know thier are hacks for the A6000

I still use nex5T

Can you compare this with leica q2?

5n dont have 60p (((

now it's a 100$ camera
