Pocketable camera with uncompromised image quality
Having bought NEX-5T, I'm finally able to carry a camera with me every day without any premeditated reason. There is no question anymore, should I take a camera just in case or should I travel light. I just have it all the time in my bag. Certain lenses, like SEL16F28, SEL20F28 and SELP1650 even allow it to fit in a jacket pocket. This very model has a unique combination of features such as compact size, hybrid autofocus and digital level gauge, which is unfortunately not found in later mirrorless models a5xxx and a6xxx. The only feature I miss in NEX-5T is a viewfinder. I initially thought to buy the external one, but its price is still too high. In addition to the kit lens SELP1650, I've bought SEL1670Z, which is, regardless of controversial reviews, a huge step up in image quality compared to the kit lens. I would also highly recommend SEL24F18 and SEL35F18 which both turned out to be really good.

Small and powerful
I have an A65 and wanted the wife to get something smaller, finally she did. She loves it and i can't say how jealous i am. The camera takes very good pictures with auto settings and if user is knowledgeable F-stop and shutter can be manipulated. We went out to the race track and she was taking better pictures then me. I had a zoom advantage, but at the end of the day... She could get the small camera out and take great shots at the pits while i felt uncomfortable to take out the a65 70-200 lens out. The great thing about this camera is that u can take pictures everywhere because it is so small and u dont have to worry about settings the camera will set it up for u and take the picture fast. I still think my A65 with all the a-mount lens available is a great feature, but its nice that a small little camera that fits in your pocket and shots fast and sharp works and competes with the big units is a great reason to buy...

Great pictures, Poor durability and longevity
This camera takes wonderful photo's and is compact and easy for on the go. Small enough it is not cumbersome for vacation use. Unfortunately Sony customer service is pretty inconvenient. I purchased this camera in April 2013, it mysteriously stopped working in February 2014. I took it to the Sony store, they are not equipped to handle camera's. They referred us to the technical support line. I had to mail the camera in, at which point I was told that the camera had physical damage and could be repaired for $800. My problem with the product is that the camera had never been dropped, any damage done I would deem as normal wear and tear. I feel the longevity and durability of the camera should have been better in this price point. The Panorama feature on this camera was GREAT! Until is completely stopped functioning after four months of use. The photo's were too dark to discern anything.

Great for Street Photography
By SMART
This is a great camera. It is small, has great quality and is quick. It is great for street photography. This and other future models are a great line of cameras!
The Sony NEX-5T builds upon the heritage of Sony's NEX 5 Series, which has been Sony's mainstay lineup in the Mirrorless camera market since our E-mount system lineup was first introduced. But the NEX-5Tadds new and exciting features. Inheriting well-received features from the NEX-5R, such as superlative image quality (via APS-C image sensor), superb AF performance comparable to standard SLRs (via phase detection AF) and a stylish, minimalist ultra-compact body, the NEX-5Tadds new NFC sharing/control functionality, a first for NEX cameras.
As Wi-Fi and smartphones become more widely available, demand is growing for features that enable smooth linking between various devices and easy sharing of photos. By adding NFC functionality, users can smoothly and easily share photos and link up with other devices - with one touch!
The same sensor format that Sony builds into the full-sized DSLRs. With 13 times the area of the typical point-and-shoot image sensor, APS-C sensor size makes the difference between "snapshots" and "photographs," delivering an exceptional combination of high resolution, high sensitivity and gorgeous, blurred backgrounds.
Sony's advanced Fast Hybrid AF combines two technologies for outstanding performance: Phase detection auto focus for quick response that is ideal when tracking fast-moving subjects and contrast-detection auto focus for added precision. A perfect match that delivers optimal Auto Focus for fast, precise focusing in a ny scene.
Capture HD Movies in your choice of super-smooth 60p, standard 60i or cinematic 24p, all at Full HD 1920x1080 resolution. AVCHD codec delivers stunning picture quality. MP4 codec offers smaller files for easier upload to the web. Connectivity with smartphones for One-touch sharing/One-touch remote has been simplified with Wi-Fi/NFC control. Simply tap the camera to another NFC-enabled device like a tablet or smartphone and photos are transferred with just one touch. Users need only touch devices to connect; no complex set-up is required. Moreover, when using Smart Remote Control, the camera's shutter can be conveniently controlled by your smartphone's touchscreen.
Personalize your camera by adding new features of your choice with PlayMemories Camera Apps. Find apps to fit your shooting style from portraits, detailed close-ups, sports, time lapse, motion shot and much more. Use apps that shoot, share and save photos using Wi-Fi that make it easy to control and view your camera from smartphone, and post photos directly to Facebook or backup images to the cloud without connecting to a computer.
