A guy named Someone 1.00 is able to hack the NEX series of Sony mirrorless cameras for higher bitrates in video mode and more. The video after the break shows the hack in action, and proof that it can be done. And support Someone 1.00 in his efforts. Essentially the NEX is built in the Linux CE operating system, the files for which you can see revealed in the video and the firmware source code opened up for editing. The NEX cameras are extremely affordable and yet the NEX 5N and 7 use the same sensor size and recording format as the FS100.

The 5N is also pretty nifty in low light and the stills are some of the best you can get on a mirrorless camera. However the video mode is only 24Mbit, and 28Mbit in 60p. This means that in 1080/60p especially you’re losing a lot of detail and getting quite muddy compression, compared to the hacked GH2 at 88Mbit or 176Mbit. The hack could open up the possibility of a Sony FS100 hack too.

Sony NEX 5N hack is go. You could hack the firmware and tell it to shoot 1000 frames per second at 4k. Sony NEX 5N hack is go - 46Mbit 1080p tested and working.

Sources say that this hack can allow 46Mbit on the older NEX 5 without too much trouble and it is still early days yet, so we could see stuff like intra-frame recording and improvements to HDMI out, or even 4:2:2 colour in MP4 mode and higher resolutions. (Please note this is just my speculation and nothing is confirmed yet). Now Someone 1.00 needs your support. To hack the newer Sony cameras like the NEX 5N, he needs the body to dump the firmware. I’ve decided to help by providing a sub-forum and community area at EOSHD to get everyone collaborating, discussing, testing and networking together on the hack. If anyone is willing to set up a donation fund for a NEX 5N using PayPal for this feel free to Updated with clarification: the NEX 5 is the subject of the video not the NEX 5N Post navigation.

Even with the larger APS-C format sensor, the Sony NEX-5R's body is smaller than some of the Micro Four Thirds offerings, such as the and. Despite this, the pronounced textured grip enables good purchase in use, and handling feels more comfortable than on many other CSCs. The build is also reassuring, with the quality of finish that you'd hope for and expect from Sony.

All dials and buttons have a defined click that assures you they have been pressed or positioned correctly. It's a small thing, but one that's often overlooked with many of these smaller cameras. One really nice feature is the battery and card slot door on the base. This has been designed in such a way so that even when mounted on a tripod it can be accessed without having to remove the tripod's base plate. This is a design feature almost always overlooked on other cameras. The only part that lets down the Sony NEX-5R's build are the small flap doors that cover the accessories and HDMI/USB port.

While these match the body well, they feel a little flimsy and likely to break after a year or two of use. The addition of the new control dial and function button really change the way this cameras feels and handles when shooting.

We found that when shooting in aperture or shutter priority, the ability to quickly change settings with your thumb enables a more fluid experience, almost reminiscent of using a lens aperture ring. When using the camera in aperture, shutter or manual mode we found that the Sony NEX-5R's top control dial gives quick access to settings adjustments, increasing the speed at which a picture can be taken and enabling quick changes when needed to compensate exposure. This new control dial offers a big usability enhancement over the. Couple this with the new Fn button and most major settings can be directly accessed, giving this compact system camera a high performance feel more akin to a DSLR. The top also sees a new Fn button, which can be clicked to access key features such as focus, AF mode, AF selection, white balance, metering and effects, again changing the settings using either control dial. The function of this and the control dials can be customised through the settings menu, but we found the default setup intuitive and easy to use. The updated 3-inch touchscreen has a 921k dot resolution, and while in shade it shows the image clearly, out in bright sunlight the high gloss finish of the surface makes it difficult to see what's going on.
