I love it. It's the best choice for me by far...
I'm not really the sort of person who stands there for minutes tweaking settings on a camera, i just like to get it done, and the NEX-5 is excellent at that.
The auto mode is almost faultless in most conditions, then you have simple controls like 'background defocus' instead of fannying around with f numbers and shutter speeds.
It can do all the complicated stuff, but it helsp you get good pictures, simply
If you're used to DSLRs is suppose the lack of buttons would be annoying, but for a jump up from compact it's the best you can get imo
Thanks for taking the time out to reply, much appreciated…
