First Sony NEX5 autofocus test (compared with the Panasonic GF1)

Probably they are testing a preproduction version of the Sony NEX so autofocus speed could still improove. Looks like the Panasonic GF1 performs better. What do you think?

First complete NEX5 review!

Imaging Resource has been incredible fast! They already reviewed the Sony NEX5 camera and compared it with MicroFourThirds, and classic DSLR.

Verdict? The has a very good image quality (better than the Olympus E-P1 and the Panasonic G1) and is on par with beasts like the Canon 550D and the Nikon D5000.
