Sony NEX-5 Unboxing: Worlds Smallest interchangeable Lens Camera

2010-07-21
what's up everybody John red here from TechnoBuffalo here's their boxing for you of the world's smallest interchangeable lens camera the Sony nex-5 so for those of you that have been following me on Twitter everyone watching so in my beloved videos you know that I am getting married in just a few short weeks and I wanted to take a great camera with me on my honeymoon something that was serving was below a DSL alright and when I carry the bulk and the weight but I want something with a bit more features and a standard point-and-shoot I like to take a lot of four shots you're gonna put them up all over the house that's some flexibility with how I do the photography now I can edit the images right on a camera so enter the NEX five sort of perfect and services right in between the DSLR and a point you shoot so as I mentioned this is interchangeable lens system using Sony's new emails in this particular kit I've got an 18 by 55 millimeter lens to some stuff that's included this has something called sweep panorama so actually can take the camera sweep it all the way around take a ton of pictures put them all together right on the camera itself into a 14 megapixel image that image is actually now going to be in 3d to a 3d capable TV I mean kind of interesting 14 point 2 megapixels it shoots video at full 1080 that's 1080i AVC HD and nine twenty by ten eighty or mp4 at 1440 by 1080 so go ahead and continue to look around the box so there's sort of another picture of what we just saw on the back we get a bit of the spec which again I will talk about I've got it and the is a range of 206 12,800 you get full control over ISO aperture and sort of the rest of the DSLR features that you'd expect again the HD movie this can use SD or Sony's of course memory stick format it's got optical steadyshot and all kinds of other stuff this does again use Sony's email but you can use any estonians existing lenses with an adapter let's go ahead and dig in this particular kit as I mentioned has the 18 by 55 millimeter lens there's also a portrait pancake lens of available this particular kit is going to run you just shy of hundred dollars so go ahead and open it up there's some additional accessories you might want no interest there here we have some software which is application software for the Alpha camera I'm not sure if that's Mac compatible or not but there it looks like it's only for Windows XP Vista or seven limited warranty always important lens and accessories take a quick look at some of the lenses ancestries are available this particular camera the NEX five comes in black or silver there's also a model the NEX three which is a bit less expensive this one has a full even magnesium alloy body the NEX three is plastic and only shoots video at 720p other than that literally isn't very much differences so if you looking for less expensive entry the NEX three is a great camera so here is the 16 millimeter pancake lens that's available you came back 55 millimeter and there is a 18 by 200 millimeter lens as well that's available all that's are sure how that's gonna look on a camera the small but you've got the option so interchangeable lens camera information guide enough about that let's go and take a look at what comes in the box so here we have the flash I believe it's an external flash module the camera is quite small so there wasn't much room to include one I'll show you how this works it goes ahead and attaches right onto an accessory port open it up turn it on turn it off push it back down we'll take a look at that in a minute push that off to the side or right now what else are we going to get you're going to get a very elusive and hard to find USB cable so this is not a firewire camera it is USB we are also going to get a battery charger which is typical Sony fashion a little bit on the larger sudden you've got a shoulder strap does not appear to be the best quality shoulder strap but you are going to get one and of course you're going to get a battery to power your camera let's see what battery this is it is info lithium ion Sony's W battery hopefully this will power it for plenty of time seven point two volts puts the axe 1,080 milliamp-hour bowers in case anybody was wondering but enough of the accessories nobody wants to see those let's take a look at the camera itself and I was looking very closely at either the Canon t2i or the Sony NEX and I just didn't need or want a full DSLR I'm certainly a camera novice something like this was a bit simpler for me but so gave me some room to explore photography it was sort of a step I guess in between a full DSLR I'll go ahead and take this out of the box move the empty button now empty box off the side take a look at the camera again pull it out I got the gray model again it's available in black as well and here it is sort of again the body of a point-and-shoot but with the full lens support of a DSLR that's like there's also a hood that gets included in the box although no filter there's a hood there let's take a look at the camera so it's a bit strange have a jetting out like that but you do have the option there is not an optical viewfinder that's sort of what separates us from being a full DSLR you can get an option an optical viewfinder at the top but for most time you have to use I believe this three inch true black the supply which actually can swivel up or down so you can use it take high or low shot if I can get it to dribble down I believe it also will swivel up so depending on where you're located that should be a nice option all your controls it's not touchscreen or done via the buttons on the side and I'll give you a guys a full tour of the camera as I get more comfortable with it there's the accessory port where the flashes and you can get a microphone or the optical viewfinder is going to go right in there's a View button power button if you want to go jump right into movie certainly your shutter button on the bottom there's a battery compartment and your tripod mouse we've got HDMI out case you wanna hook this up to a television or computer I suppose and there is your USB port for getting all your information off and if I were to bet I would say that the SD card slot is where the battery is and indeed it is and also a memory stick slot they can go in there as well so you actually have the option to pick your format which is nice to see so to remove away from proprietary here is the 1855 millimeter lens you can see it sort of do its kind of creepy looking thing go and take this off and I will remove the lens here I'll show you guys what the sensor looks like very quickly again it's a Sony's new email system we should be able to turn that pull lens right off you can see it is a full DSLR size sensor on a camera of whose body is very very small and of course here is the lens itself go ahead and put that back on so don't give me dirt in there right away I'll just try and put this back on there we go and it locks into place so this is the Sony nex-5 this is sort of an unboxing and first look at the camera I'll definitely do videos and pictures showing you guys performance on everything I just see if this was a smart buy it still be buy or wear it ranks hopefully we'll take good enough pictures for a honeymoon that I can decorate my house with and remember for the rest of my life anyway I am John Rhett enger' from TechnoBuffalo and I will see you in the next video for all your tech news you should check out their website Technion Buffalo comm and for all kinds
