Generally speaking...NEX-5R

I think better just to buy there... since its 4 years and having local (in the US) warranty/return policy.

Not sure about others but RX100 can shoot jpegs while recording vids if that helps.

From a practical point of view... if you foresee buying a plethora of lens in the future especially long zooms or those weighting more than 600grams... then get the 60D. If you're just sticking with the kit lens... 650D does most of what 60D does while weighing lighter.

Does it have any different in terms of image quality in between 60D and 650D? I'm not into long range lenses, just into prime lenses like 40mm, 35mm, or wider. I used to owned d200 back then. but now im trying to get familiar with canon. I believe that 650D is entry level camera and 60D is on the semi pro level. but i just want to know whether there's any differences in terms of the image quality.

Type of camera/lens/accesories : interchangeable lens
Budget : RM1600 BELOW
Your Location : Puchong
Preferable brand : Any
Type of photography u want to do : Travel & casual
Any specific models in mind? : Lumix GF5, GX1

Hi everyone, am comparing Sony Nex 5r versus Nikon D5100, both fare quite close to each others, but may I know which one having slight advantage over the points below?

- shoot a lot on macro, and mid range portrait with great bokeh
- a lil bit of videography

By the way, is there any other camera that could rival against these?
Price range about 2.3k max

Thanks in advance!

if dun mind, why NEX-5R over the other 2 model?

i would get it at US since u will b there for 4 yrs

Image quality is the same since its same sensor.
60D grips better, has better balance with long or heavy lens and the rear dial is very handy for focus point selection... and a bunch of stuff that I don't use. Maybe the top LCD is useful.
650D is smaller and lighter.
I used to have a 550D (also same sensor) and now have a 60D that I don't use much anymore .

Both choices are faster/speedier than the S90. GX1 naturally more but if you're sticking with the kit lens, besides speedier operation.. the improvements over the GF5 is there but slight imo.

EOS-M no need to consider.... the autofocus slow like snail. Can yum cha and eat pau waiting for it to focus. Besides, pure sensor wise... the EOS-M's sensor is very dated compared with the Sony.

E-PL5 is a very nice camera with good sensor, manual controls etc but imo, as a system.. the NEX is a better one since the previous disadvantages are being rectified.

The NEX lens system is maturing, most of the important (imo) lens are out, although E-PL5 AF is still faster but the NEX-5R is no slouch either.

Though the previous annoying menus are still there, but its getting better due to the customizable keys and the extra dial on top.

At the end of the day, both are Sony sensors and the NEX have the bigger one.

If looking at it as a system, Sony is strong to the point of impacting the whole interchangeable lens industry while Olympus is hampered by its own financial issues and its main partner in m43, Panasonic seems to have totally lost it as they haven't had a real class leading product since the LX3 and the GF1.

You won't go wrong with the Oly or the Sony. Just my personal choice is that I will choose Sony.

I already purchased it day before yesterday and today reading these replies
Got it for RM 2170, with 18 - 55 lens, bag, tripod and class 10 8 gb card

Ok thanks alot for the advice. agreed that 650d much more lighter and the price is quite cheap for dslr. im might go for 60d to get more stability during shooting.

sniper,

appreciate those info, noted!

thanks
