Hi all , i going to get a Nex myself soon , just wondering should i get Nex 3 or Nex 5 ? Twin lenses as well ? Is it worth ? My budget is below 2.5k so either i get Nex 3 with twin lense or just Nex 5 with one of the lenses . Thanks

depends on whether how much you use video, and full HD in particular
apart from that, go test out both models
see which grip you like best, cos it is really a case of personal preference

How much did you get it for? I thought the twin lens kit had been phased out in Malaysia?
I tried the NEX 5 just now, kinda wish that it has a dedicated button like the ones in my compact camera for ISO, Timer, and others for easy access... But yeah, generally still leaning towards DSLR.

But then again, the small and compact body of the NEX 5 is really the biggest selling point for me thus far... Imagine going to fine dinning restaurant, me in my suit and a big bag full of DSLR gadgets... Kinda looks weird... Or going out for a formal dinner and bringing a DSLR to take a good pictures which is kinda ridiculours.. (Me thinks..) XD

timer is accesible from the drive mode button, in fact there is an option for you to select the timer from 1 to 10 seconds
as for the rest, firmware v3 should fix most of it

The Twin lens set not produced anymore ? So i must get it now or 1 month from now ? Coz i only used it 1 month from now .. and therefore by tat time the price may reduce a little

i got the extended warranty free
there was a time where sony threw in 1 year extended warranty for free
on top of that, they were giving away 1 year extended warranty for those who participated in the NEX workshop

Both my NEX3 n NEX5 registered online warranty is 15 months only. NEX3 + pancake and NEX5 twin kit.
*
15 months doesn't sound right
i think you got it quite early and they messed up the categorization
instead of grouping it as SLR-range (extra 6 months warranty) they put it as cybershot range (3 months extra warranty)
better double check with them

But I thought only tourists can get that... If I knew local ppl could get that, would've asked my HK fren buy in HK for me and get that warranty >< so much cheaper over there! HK Retail price is even cheaper than our street price.....

the tourist warranty period is shorter than the normal warranty that is offered here

to me this is more like a competitor to Sony Nex.

its price is damn attracting, RM2299 - RM500 (trade in) = RM 1800 only drool.gif

nx100 hv vignette, soft focus, fish-eye and miniature effects drool.gif

wow samsung really throwing price, especially when compared to NX10

For example.. i wanted to focus on a person at the front, but it tends to shoot people at the back or sometimes the background.. is there any way to fix this? and i tried to manual focus, but nothing seems to happen.. is there anything wrong?

i wanted to read the manual but... its in chinese and arabic.. i cant find the english manual.. but it have malaysia sony warranty.. strange..

am thinking of taking the leap and buy a Sony NEX-5D.

Anyone knows few good shops in Penang to recommend? Reliable and reasonable price?
*
try penang road, shops there like megastar, clck'n'snap, hike (but hike doesn't carry sony i think)
should be able to get the best price
megastar has nex5 in stock as of last week
