Sony Alpha NEX-5R (Body Only, Black) price range: $498.00 - $499.99
- Reviewed by: Lori Grunin

The good: Sony Alpha NEX-5R delivers excellent photo quality, even in dimmer light, and provides more physical controls than some of its predecessors for a more streamlined shooting design.
The bad: The wireless connectivity and apps "ecosystem" implementations are far less than this camera deserves.
The bottom line: It's a great camera choice for high-quality stills and a streamlined shooting design under $800, but the Sony Alpha NEX-5R falls short when it comes to sharing your shots online.

- Description: Shoot and share DSLR-quality photos online, straight from the camera. With built-in Wi-Fi, the NEX-5R even lets you download camera apps for endless creative possibilities. And the 16.1MP APS-C size sensor delivers breathtaking stills with pro-grade defocused backgrounds. All this and more in a camera that's about half the size of a DSLR.
