The Sony NEX-5R impressed us with its new 180-degree tilt screen and improved controls and the app-integration also looks very promising indeed.

Stay tuned for a full review.

The Sony NEX-5R marks the start of a bold new chapter for cameras -- the age of the app. Having revolutionised mobile phones, apps could mean big changes for cameras too. It's still early days so the range of apps remains to be seen, but even without apps, this latest NEX has all the makings of a very capable snapper. Lens-swapping power and simple controls combined with Wi-Fi could well make the 5R worth a bundle of crisp fivers.
