The Sony NEX-5R is a beautifully built camera that you'll have great fun using. The articulated screen puts it one step ahead of its competitors, and the innovative downloadable apps will expand its feature set over time. All in all, a great buy if you can afford it, but the reasons to upgrade from the NEX-5N aren't entirely convincing. 




Conclusion

This is fun camera Build quality is excellent, the built-in features are great and although I'm not convinced by the idea of needing to download add-on camera apps, it's perfectly able without them and ready to go straight from the box. The NEX-5R is considerably more expensive at around £600 to £670, depending on where you shop. If you can't run to the price of the Sony, then the Samsung won't disappoint. Take price out of the equation, though, and the NEX-5R just has the edge.
