NEX-7 10fps Shutter Sound vs NEX-5 7fps

Image
We got to play with the Sony Alpha NEX-7 with the black 18-55 mm OSS lens at Unique Photo in Fairfield, NJ so we wanted to test out the new shutter. Here is a video of the NEX-7 shooting in Speed Priority mode at 10 frames per second then in Single Shot mode. Next is the Sony NEX-5 at Single Shot, then at 7 fps. The venue was packed so the shutter sounds are not isolated. As you can hear the NEX-7's shutter sound is much gentler and cleaner than the NEX-5. The NEX-7 had the Front Curtain Shutter option ON. This is similar to the NEX-5N , which may affect the sound slightly, maybe someone with a NEX-5N can clear this up for us. We've read that the difference is barely noticeable. We wish we had more time with the NEX-7. There were a lot of people interested in the 7, 5N, and C3. We will have more posts from our trip at Unique Photo. Thanks Unique Photo and Sony USA.

Sony NEX-5N Video Overheating Test

Image
Sony NEX-5N Video Overheating Test JogBird tortured his Sony NEX-5N to see how long before it overheats while shooting a video. The NEX-5N is set to shoot 1080p at 60p with the kit 18-55mm OSS lens. The LCD is out from the body around 5mm and the ambient temperature is 86° F or 30° C. The NEX-5N did well lasting 22 minutes and 23 seconds before preserving itself and shutting off. The high temperature indicator came on at 12 minutes and 23 seconds. This would be a good time to give the NEX-5N a bit of a cool down before shooting the next footage. The NP-FW50 battery went from 29% to 7% for the 22:23 footage. Sony NEX-5N Lasted for 22 min 23 secs NEX-5N with Carl Zeiss 24mm f/1.8 Sonnar Thanks for performing the test JogBird !
