Hi guys. I am interested to get hybrid/mirrorless camera but Google around does not get me information that I need. Last week I went to Sony Center and tried NEX-3 and NEX-5. But I still have some questions in my mind that I need clarification:

1. Is NEX is the smallest in size compared to other hybrid/mirrorless cameras in the market?
2. Is there any underwater case for NEX?
3. How is the picture quality? I owned a Sony a550, is it comparable?
4. How is the shooting experience, is it as good as DSLR, allow you to adjust settings such as ISO, aperture and etc?
5. How about taking picture at night, is the bundled flash good enough?

Appreciate if you guys could help me clarify questions above.

I am looking for NEX-3. With its price tag around RM1600, NEX-3 should be the best choice for its category, is it?

I went to few shops yesterday and I tried NEX-C3 at Fotokem. The seller said showed me some features and such as red/yellow/blue/green color focus. He said that NEX-3 does not have this feature. Is is true, or we can get it in NEX-3 by upgrading the firmware?

The price differentiation is quite significant, though.

Mean that basically we can get all the functions and features of NEX-C3 by just updating NEX-3's firmware? Found a nice comparison here:

Another thing is lens. The NEX-3 I surveyed come with pancake 16mm lens is RM200 cheaper than NEX-3 with 18-55mm lens. I have done some readings and some said that the 16mm is a wide lens but only slightly wide than 18-55mm. Will it actually make a big difference if I bought both lens or it will work just great with 18-55mm?

NEX-3 with 16mm looks much more cool, though.
