Should you buy is a series that will focus on whether a specific item is worth the investment of your money. This will be based solely on my personal experiences and is ultimately just my opinion. In this post, I will discuss if the Sony NEX-7 is worth the money. The NEX-7 is a 24-megapixel mirrorless interchangeable lens camera. This means that it does not have the multiple mirrors that allow a normal DSLR camera to function. It is also able to be used with multiple lenses ranging from Sony branded ones or third party lenses with an adaptor. The lack of mirrors means that the camera is very small compared to a normal DSLR and therefore extremely portable. It has both a mic input as well as mini HDMI for external monitors. It is also incredibly cheap and can be had for anywhere from 300 to 500 bucks, depending on where you look. The camera is great for recording video due to its size, portability, and the ability to record at 1080P at 60FPS. The only real issue with it is that it will not record at 4k. This is mostly because the camera is dated at this point (the NEX-7 was released in late 2011) and since that time, its bigger brother Sony A7 has been released with many iterations that address this issue. Regardless, I believe that you should buy this camera as its size and price compared to much bigger DSLR’s in the same price range make it perfect for people starting out with photo or video work.
