NEX can use alot of adapter for other brand lenses..
is there any licensing issue?
*
licensing issue, if any would be on the mount maker as they are using the design from the lense and body maker

just to give you a rough price check comparison... do note that this is an SR5 rating post.

650 U.S. dollars = 2 035.79874 Malaysian ringgits
750 U.S. dollars = 2 348.99854 Malaysian ringgits
850 U.S. dollars = 2 662.19835 Malaysian ringgits

this is the RRP.. you do the math when it hits the streets wink.gif

even if you buy it at RRP, and you use 1 year installment, its +/- 200 a month, for a year! brows.gif

so, what's your move? brows.gif

for reference,
the NEX3 pancake kit is listed at 550USD and is going for about RM1.7k (street)
the NEX5 zoom kit is listed at 700USD and is going for about RM2.3k (street)

so i guess the A55 kit might be about 3-3.1k when it reaches here

Ah... I mean taking pictures of food in low light conditions lar...

Cause I am gonna buy NEX soon then after that gonna start a food blog with it....

1 of the comments I received is the NEX tiny flash wouldn't be good enough....

for you usage, i would say the NEX would suit you well
the compact size would make it more convenient to bring around and also is more discreet

even with the translucent mirror, the video quality still lost to Canon 550D base on dpreview

don know how they rate it....

probably due to the lack of "cinematography" grade 1080p24 support

kevinwcw: Affordable FF telephoto? The Minolta 70-210mm F4 beercan. biggrin.gif

Mikeshashimi: Yes, they won't have camera bodies lying around to test the lens with.

ahtsong: The 550D does offer more manual control over video - aperture, shutter, ISO etc. The A55 however sweeps it away in AF in video.

wingster: Depends on whether you want to shoot video for

1) news/documentation and social events
2) planned video where you know what is going to happen and have already set the focus markings on the lens

Str33tBoY: Yes the HVL-F7S flash comes with the NEX-3 and NEX-5.

electron: The NEX-5 does 1080p25 (but wrapped in a 1080i50 container).

edwardgsk: 7 FPS not enough ah? biggrin.gif I find it hard to find many examples where it is useful in an everyday sense. I have 10 FPS on my Cybershot WX-1 but also, not many scenarios where I can use all 10 frames in a useful dissection of motion. It does make for some fun stop motion though.

Only time I've really needed high FPS was when trying to catch an arrow exiting a bow - I can't read the archer's rhythm! For anything else, we can just observe and press the shutter when it is time.

ya, but there are ppl that insist that it is a failure if the video mode doesn't support 1080p24

Str33tBoY: Ah, now I see what you mean:

http://www.sony.com.my/productcategory/e-mount-camera

The NEX-3K/W (white NEX-3 + kitlens) and NEX-3K/R (red NEX-3 + kitlens) are not on the site.

However you can get the NEX-3D/W (white NEX-3 + kitlens + pancake) or NEX-3D/R (red NEX-3 + kitlens + pancake).

Note that none of the Sony official websites are very reliable (the US and UK one, apparently, have a lot of mistakes).

Despite the mistakes, it could be that Sony Malaysia really does not bring in the white and red NEX-3K. Different countries will pick which model to sell here. For example, Japan does not sell the A850 because Japanese apparently don't want or need a lower-spec cheaper camera. Malaysia did not sell the A380 and A500 officially.

well, i do have a NEX-3K/R though, while sonystyle doesn't list the NEX-3D/R
