Sony Alpha NEX-5N (with 18-55mm lens, Silver) price range: $798.00
- Reviewed by: Lori Grunin

The good: A small-bodied interchangeable-lens model with excellent video, the Sony Alpha NEX-5N also offers some nice features, including a tilting LCD, EVF port, and a hybrid touch-screen/traditional interface.
The bad: The user interface won't be to everyone's taste, and the body feels almost too small for the typical E-mount zoom lenses.
The bottom line: An especially good option for people who want a relatively inexpensive ILC for shooting video, the Sony Alpha NEX-5N's photo quality's about the same as its cheaper sibling's.
