“Your Way” music video shot on the Sony NEX-5

Number one question I get asked is “What’s a perfect beginner camera?” My answer is still the same – the SONY NEX-5.

It’s what I used to shoot this music video:

I own the Sony NEX 5R model but there are now newer models for an even better price then what I got. Honestly you can not get better quality video for under $400. In fact you can even find this camera on ebay for as low as $250 used. If you find that deal the get it!

Here is a tutorial showing how I got the colors in this music video:
