Hi, I am a total newbie when it comes to DSLR, just came across the NEX series recently and really interested in it, so I wanna ask all the pros here whether it's a good camera and what are the pros and cons, sufficient for an entry level? And I saw the price list posted on the 1st page, where can I get those prices cause I thought cameras are all fixed price just diff goodies..

I planning to get the NEX-3, since NEX-5 only offers better video in which 720P in NEX-3 is already sufficient I think... Is there any difference though getting at other shops? Do they offer freebies like Sony Stylez does?

So it's better to get the 18-55mm instead of 16mm right?

Hahaha... sorry if this is a noob question, but what can the 16mm do that the 18-55m cant?

Nono I know that lar.. I mean what does the 16mm have but 18-55mm dun have??? Is it better taking close up photos?

Hi, I was wondering if cameras would be cheaper during PC Fair or not? I am planning to get a Sony NEX-3 but not really rush lar.. Can wait till September, would it be cheaper by then or PC Fair might have promotion?

Well.. The most I can wait till is September coz I am going back UK for studies by then haha... Would there be like free 8gb memory card during PC fair? xD

Hmm.. From the 1st page of the thread... Sony Nex-3 with zoom lens is Rm18xx and Sony Style sells for rm2199.. Does anyone know which shop around Low Yat/ Sungai Wang I can get it?? It's with 8GB card right? Cause apparently some cameras are cheaper because they take away the memory card.. is it wrong?

Haha.. Define professional photographic equipment...

18-200 for NEX? It's like around rm3500-4000 right?

Is Prime Lens really that good?
I am planning to get NEX-3 soon with the zoom lens coz 1 of my photography frens told me that I won't really use much of the prime lens if i get the twin lens and that f2.8 and f3.6 won't differ that much....
So what do u guys think? btw, I am a newbie in manual photography...

Ah, I meant like setting shutter speeds, apertures, iso and all that.. All the time I use auto mode in my digicam to take photographs lol... Yes, I do understand that but NEX's high ISO would compensate for the zoom lens right? Does it really differ a lot for a newbie like me? I thought of just getting the prime lens but not being able to zoom is like ><

@william,
so you're suggesting i should get twin lens? haha

I am thinking whether to get NEX in HK or not... It doesnt' really matter since SONY Warranty is international right? HK is so much cheaper... Their 16mm and 18-55mm lens are the same price around rm1.7-1.8k.. twin lens is just rm2.2k at their sony retail and I am sure other places would be even cheaper... Wat'ya guys think?

what is that?? fine print? Sorry I am a bit lost

Hmm.. I am not sure HK being out of stock or not for NEX.. I just know my HK fren's sister bought a NEX-3 not long ago at Broadway (a big electric n electronics retailer in HK).. It is definitely cheaper but I am not sure whether bundles are the same as the ones in Malaysia.. In HK, they sell 'water products' as well from USA, Korea, japan and they're even cheaper.. So actually I am studying in UK and would be using the camera most of the time there, so it means that it doesn't matter if I buy in HK or Malaysia, I still have to pay the service charge for the warranty in UK then if I wanna repair?

I haven't bought but planning to get 1 next month

I think Studio Zaloon gives the best deal after having much survey..

I went to LYP today and just asked a few shops for NEX-3 with twin lens prices.. Their prices is just bad.....

Got 1 wanna cheat me... Say only today promotion for rm2399 which normally they sell for 2699.. ><
Another one just told me RRP price rm2699 and comes with 4gb WTF.. I'd rather go Sony Stylez to buy since they come with 8gb..

And I thought street price is supposed to be cheaper.. Damn it...

oh shit... Is NEX that bad? I was planning to get one..

So basically NEX currently is the best bang for the buck in terms of compact cameras with dslr quality? Any micro 4/3 better than it?
