Sony NEX-5T
This is the first dedicated camera I’ve had in six years. Purchased in a rush just before heading off to Kenya, the NEX-5T has a huge sensor and can capture some spectacularly good photos. As with most cameras, it can also capture some spectacularly bad photos. It sometimes has trouble with focusing correctly (often user error), and the automatic modes tend not to produce good night photos. One nice feature is the ability to have selective manual control over either the aperture, shutter speed, or iso setting while allowing the rest of the camera to stay in auto mode. This is great for macro shots where you can control how much of the image is in focus, and for nighttime when you’re willing to bump up the light & graininess.
Overall I’m very happy with the NEX-5T, and I’m excited to try out some other lenses.
