I bought the Sony NEX-5R around Xmas 2012-13. It's a very good camera and is quite compact, however, it does have some limitations. It can take some coin photographs and has a macro mode but it doesn't have the "super macro" that I need for coin close-ups. This Xmas I hope to get the macro lens for it so I can photograph coins. The thought was that at 10 Mpixels I could photograph coins from far way but this didn't turn out as well as hoped.
Also they have a series of these alpha type cameras. This one is the least expensive of them and I was hoping for more programability in taking photos. It is way better than the usual cheap digital cameras and the manual settings mode is necessary for tricky shots: for example forcing the flash to fire when it normally wouldn't on auto mode.
I really don't know of any alternative short of spending thousands of $ and getting a camera 3x the size tho.
