Sony nex 5t vs sony nex 7?

The NEX-7 and NEX-5T are both APS-C mirrorless cameras on the Sony E mount, so they take the same lenses. The NEX-7 has the higher resolution at 24.3 megapixels, against 16.1 for the NEX-5T. It's the older body, from 2011, and it has a built-in viewfinder and three control dials. The NEX-5T is from 2013, and its page doesn't list those features, so check them before you buy. Neither body has stabilisation, so choose stabilised lenses for slow shutter speeds.

Good lens matches for either camera:

• Sony E 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS: a stabilised everyday zoom.
• Sony E 55-210mm f/4.5-6.3 OSS: reach for distant subjects.
• Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM: a fast standard zoom if you can spend more.
