   Picked up this camera just before leaving for France where my company was sending my wife and I for 3 months.

   We ended up taking ≈8,500 pics with it in those three months, and have been completely happy with the ease of use of the camera, size, and most importantly incredible quality of pictures that it took all over the diverse photographic subjects that the European continent could provide.

   Some of the items in the extra kit weren’t as useful as others, but the price compared to the brick and mortar stores can’t be beat.

   I highly recommend this camera to anyone wanting to take a step up from the point and shoot realm, but not wanting to drag around a giant National Geographic Explorer style DSLR.

   My only warning though… the 5R is great as I have said… however it ends up making you want to do better and better, so don’t be surprised if a NEX 6 or 7 are in your future!

   I’ve had my 5R for maybe a month and a half now, and so far it’s been really great. One thing that I like about it that I’m not sure that other cameras have is the ability to shoot video in manual mode. With this you can choose the ISO, aperture, and most importantly (for me) shutter speed of the video, which I didn’t really think would matter much at first, but I do alot of filming parkour stuff and when your slowing down 60 fps footage to get some slow motion the high shutter speed will make your video nice and crisp. I also found out that I enjoy photography a lot more then I thought I would when I got this camera, I hadn’t done a lot of it before I got this camera, but I’ve found myself pulling off roads now just to take pictures of things now.
   I don’t like that I can’t see the screen that well on bright days, so a viewfinder could be nice, but at the same time I can’t see myself taking the video with my eye up to one because I dont really like the body height angle alot of the time. One other thing is that it has no external audio in on it and the buit in mic is not great, this lost it a star because now I have to either buy their $120 shogun mic or another audio solution.
   I would reccomend this to anyone. I don’t really have a great perspective of this vs other cameras but for the money and size of the camera, it shoots awesome photo/video and I’m more than happy with it. As I said earlier the only reason it got 1 star off is because there’s no external audio port, but I’ve been thinking about getting something portable with a lapel mic anyways so it’s not a huge deal.
   Hope my review helped. It’s 3:30 AM so sorry if I ended up talking around myself haha.
