Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Sony Alpha NEX-5RK + Sony E 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 OSS)

has a built-in focus motor
Sony Alpha NEX-5N
Sony Alpha NEX-5RK + Sony E 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 OSS
The focus motor moves the lens in order to autofocus. For system cameras, having a focus motor in the camera's body allows you to use a wide range of lenses, including lenses which do not have their own focus motor. For compact cameras, a focus motor is usually built-in.

Optics

sensor size

APS-C

APS-C

One of the most important aspects of a camera is the size of its sensor. A larger sensor will capture more light, which results in improved low-light performance, dynamic range, and general image quality.
lens mount

Sony E

Sony E

The more focus points the more flexibility in picking which part of the scene to focus on. They also give the image sensor a better probability in identifying the right area of the scene to focus on in more automatic modes.
The number of megapixels determines the resolution of the images captured with the main camera. A higher megapixel count means that the camera is capable of capturing more details. However, the megapixel count is not the only important element determining the quality of an image.
maximum ISO

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Sony Alpha NEX-5N)

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Sony Alpha NEX-5RK + Sony E 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 OSS)

With a higher light sensitivity (ISO level), the sensor absorbs more light. This can be used to capture moving objects using a fast shutter speed, or to take images in low light without using a flash.
maximum expanded ISO

25600 ISO

25600 ISO

Expanded ISO allows you to go beyond the native ISO. It does this by digitally enhancing the image output. The resulting image will have less quality than when staying within the native ISO range, but it can be useful in certain situations.
has sensor shift stabilization
Sony Alpha NEX-5N
Sony Alpha NEX-5RK + Sony E 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 OSS
With sensor shift, the image sensor (rather than the lens) moves to counterbalance any vibration of the camera. This means the image will be stabilised regardless of what lens is being used.
The number of frames per second that can be captured in continuous drive mode when using the mechanical shutter.
has AF tracking
Sony Alpha NEX-5N
Sony Alpha NEX-5RK + Sony E 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 OSS
With AF tracking, once you choose the subject and press the shutter release part way down, as the subject moves, the autofocus will follow it. No more out of focus shots.

Videography

video recording (main camera)

1080 x 60 fps

1080 x 60 fps

The maximum resolution available for videos shot with the main camera. Although it may be possible to choose among other frame rates, those recordings usually have lower resolutions.

Sony Alpha NEX-5N
Sony Alpha NEX-5RK + Sony E 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 OSS
