Sony nex-5n anyone?

The gf and I are looking to upgrade to a new camera. We are not sure if we want to spend the money or if we will get "that into it", to buy a dlsr.

If anybody has the nex-5n or any experience with it, please chime in!

Depends on what your going to do with it. If you are interested in serious photography (not a DSLR with kit lens and auto setting shit) then get a DSLR with some good glass. This is expensive and addicting.

If general picture taking is up your alley but you want the photos to look their best with the minimal amount of effort, grab the Nex. It's a perfect cross between a point and shoot and the large bodied DSLR's.

I've got to play with the Sony and the Panasonic GF-1 (similar camera). Both can take some really sharp photos with almost zero effort in a small and portable set up. I've been tempted to buy one myself to replace my spare DSLR I carry on bike rides or hiking trips or anything else that might put my 7D in unnecessary danger. Still waiting on the Canon version to come out though.

Heres a few I took of my buddies Telecaster that he's trying to sell with his Panasonic GF-1:

Great info thanks... Yeah the camera seems to be a good choice. Not wanting a serious dslr, a huge body camera. But wanting more then a point and shoot compact camera.
