The Sony Alpha NEX-F5 is the fifth model in Sony's NEX line of APS-C format mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras.

The Sony Alpha NEX-F5 is the fifth model in Sony's NEX line of APS-C format mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras. Just as the NEX-5n replaces the NEX-5, the F5 is a direct replacement for its predecessor the NEX-5n. The company's latest 18MP CMOS sensor replaces the previous 16MP chip. Although the 5N is nearly indistinguishable from the NEX-5 on the outside F5 shares F3 design. It is actually a very different camera, and one that is worthy of very serious attention. The three most significant changes to the NEX-F5 compared to the NEX-5n are its new sensor, which we have been very impressed by in the NEX-5n, the touchscreen flip interface - as in Sony's current NEX-5N and build in flash as in NEX-F3. It's interesting to see a touchscreen appearing on the F5 with one extra dial and build-in flash in the center of the camera's body.
