Sony Alpha NEX-5

Saw this baby at the SkyMall Shopping Magazine when we flew to Long Beach, California two weeks ago:


CNET EDITOR'S REVIEW

The good: Excellent high-ISO-sensitivity photo quality; quiet, fast lenses good for shooting video and comfortable for manual focus; compact, with a nice physical design and control layout; large, tilting LCD.

The bad: No EVF option; frequently annoying user interface; unusual amount of distortion on 18-55mm kit lens; no neutral image color settings.

The bottom line: For a lot of people, the excellent high-sensitivity photo quality, competitive performance, and an ultracompact body will likely outweigh the Sony Alpha NEX-5's quirks and operational annoyances.

Now I'm torn between this Sony Alpha NEX-5 compact DSLR camera and my first love, Panasonic Lumix LX5. But either way, there's only one thing that I'm sure of. I'm gonna need a micro sd with humongous storage space!
