The first footage from the new Sony NEX5 interchangeable lens camera is hitting the web. Daniel Boswell looks to be one of the first shooters to have an edited clip online, and you can watch it below. It’s a simple midday golf outing edit, shot with the NEX5 kit lens, handheld and with a Gorillapod. Shows the camera’s DOF, highlight handling and motion characteristics. Note the autofocus on a couple of the shots…this camera has an autofocus mode in video. Watch below. (UPDATE: The video has been taken offline temporarily, I understand that it will return at some point in the future. We’ll keep you updated.)

Update: here’s another clip, this one slow shots of landscapes (so perhaps less useful in determining quality), but still a very pretty demonstration of what this ridiculously small camera can do. How small is it with a lens? Brian Smith has a few images up on his blog that show the size perspective. It’s amazingly compact, and there are a number of squat pancake lenses that help keep the package svelte.
