Sony recently announced the new NEX 5R HDSLR camera. I guess the R stands for “Replacement”. This model will replace the older Sony NEX 5N. The feature set on this little camera is jam packed. It does the standard 24P and 60P in 1920 X 1080 full HD. It has an improved sensor and  built in WiFi. The Sony NEX 5R uses the Sony E Mount but works quite well with a Metabones adapter for Canon EF mount lenses. All of this for just under seven hundred smackers!

Here are the specifications from B&H Photo.
