JPEG shot-to-shot time clocks in at a respectable 0.6 second, but that jumps to about 0.9 second for both raw and flash-meh for raw, good for flash. In low light that increases to a still-excellent 0.5 second. Under optimal conditions, it has class-leading shot lag, focusing and shooting in a mere 0.2 second. While it's not superfast all around, the NEX-7 delivers good-to-excellent shooting speed overall. I didn't see any rolling shutter, however, and casual shooters should find the low-light video quality acceptable. The video looks very good in decent light as well, sufficiently sharp with solid tonality and exposure, though cinemaphiles will probably take issue with the moiré and aliasing. Sony offers a variety of Creative Styles for color handling the default Standard pushes saturation and shifts hues more than I like and Neutral looks a little too flat, but neither is too egregious and since you can adjust the contrast, saturation, and sharpness for each, they're definitely workable. There's plenty of recoverable detail in dense shadow areas, but it doesn't seem like there's a lot in the highlights. On all other counts-exposure, color, sharpness, and so on-the photos look quite good. The irony is that the NEX-7's images have particularly well-controlled noise without any NR. (I tested with that, the 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 kit lens, and the consumer 50mm f1.8 OSS lenses.) The higher resolution of the NEX-7's sensor helps to compensate for the overprocessing, as the extra pixels help retain detail in the face of heavy luminance noise reduction (NR) that's one reason the NEX-7's JPEG photos still look much better than, say, the Olympus E-P3's. And while the price is high for a nonpro model, given the package it doesn't seem ripoff-high.Īs with many competing cameras the NEX-7's JPEG image processing could stand some optimization, but overall it delivers the photos you'd expect for the money, especially when coupled with a really nice lens like the Zeiss 24mm f1.8. It's got excellent photo and solid video quality and generally fast performance. Its innovative two-dial system takes the predominantly screen-based NEX operation and moves a chunk of it back to the hardware controls, where enthusiasts want it. For this class of camera, the NEX-7 has almost everything: built-in flash, an OLED EVF, a large sensor, a tilting LCD, and relatively serious video features.

It may not be the ne plus ultra of interchangeable-lens cameras, but Sony's Alpha NEX-7 comes closer than almost any I've seen thus far.
