Flash isn't for low light, and high ISOs can't fix this either you need flash fill to shine light into dark areas. You've got to be kidding any old Canon AE-1 Program or Kodak Brownie Hawkeye has both a live (not electronic) finder and full-time flash connection, both which you need at the same time for serious photography.īecause of this, without fill-flash for people shots, image quality is often poor for people photos if you're using the viewfinder because faces and shadows go too dark (see examples at fill-flash). You can use one or the other, but never both at the same time as we need for almost all serious people and event photography. If you use the viewfinder, you can't use flash because they each use the same unique dedicated socket! If you want a viewfinder, the optional $260 FDA-EV1S Electronic Viewfinder is excellent, however: The NEX-5R has no viewfinder you have to peer at the tiny image on its rear LCD. However, the NEX-5R has a huge shortcoming for serious photography: there is only one accessory port on top, so you cannot use the optional but nearly mandatory FDA-EV1S Electronic Viewfinder at the same time as you use the included flash. Therefore, although there often is a slight delay while the photo records before you can make the next shot, for actual shooting, the NEX-5R is just as fast as a DSLR, and can track moving kids just fine. Autofocus is as fast as a DSLR for still shots, and much faster than DSLRs for shooting video, and there is no shutter lag if you know how to use it properly. To my pleasant surprise, the NEX-5R focuses and shoots nearly instantly. The camera body and tiny included flash attachment weigh nearly nothing much of the weight will be dependant on which lens you choose to use with it. Once you add a lens and flash or finder, it gets much bigger as shown the camera itself is a slim little thing. It's just a sensor with a grip and lens mount with a flipping LCD on the back.
