Sony NEX-5 vs Canon Rebel T2i 550d

Image
Fontaine V put up the smaller sensored Canon EOS Rebel T2i aka 550d against the Sony NEX-5 to see which one would be a more ideal travel companion. As you can see from the photos below, the Sony NEX-5 provides slightly more compact package. The NEX-5 and the E 18-200mm OSS travel kit is also more robust with a mostly metal construction compared to the polycarbonate clad Rebel T2i and EF-S 18-200mm lens. Let's see who wins the weight loss battle between the Sony NEX and the Canon Rebel T2i : Canon Rebel T2i (550d) 1.17 lb (530 g) + Canon EF-S 18-200mm lens 1.31 lb (595 g) = 2.48 lb (1.12 kg) Sony NEX-5 0.63 lb (287 g) + Sony E 18-200mm OSS 1.16 lb (524 g) = 1.79 lb (0.81 kg) The Sony NEX-5 and 18-200mm OSS lens wins by being 39% (0.69 lb, 313 g) lighter than the Canon competitor. The bigger sensor in the smaller package wins. You can also get the E 18-200 OSS with the Sony NEX-VG10 Handycam . Thanks Fontaine V !
