normal charger have to buy for extra $$$$$

Wow, yes, I just read that. That's incredible.

"We kept the price down, by removing things that should be in the box. If you want a charger you'll have to buy it. At a way more expensive price than it should have been,"

that is the reason i + ... nex series battery totally cant last for a day, so we all are force to buy the charger

How come like there doesn't seem to be much love for the NEX-F3 wan?

Looks brilliant to me

Coz you need to pay for charger....

What is so special for F3 , available in Malaysia?

- Cheap(er)
- NEX-7 size... and with more substantial grip
- Pop up flash

i think C3 looks better,don't like the F3 looks,boring

i only wish for a fairly SHARP and COMPACT 18mm lens (or any wide angle) and E-mount will be perfect (for me).

Sony, you produce more NEX camera than the lenses, for God sake.....

Yeah... C3 "look" better with the pancake but ergnomic with anything besides that is crap.

Chuuu overlooked Sigma 19mm?

There are 6 NEX cameras and 4 NEX camcorders.

There are 8 Sony E-mount lenses and 2 converters.

The math could go either way.

Most of the time I carry 2 batteries and 2 mem cards. No problem.

Of course the charger is part of the cost. No one can produce a charge out of free thin air. All previous NEX owners also paid for theirs, except that its transparent because it's already factored into the nett price. Now they are offering you a way to save money by allowing you to forego the charger, this is a positive way to look at it. It is similar how people can sell body only , or body+ kit packages.

Some of us already have the charger and the additional could be redundant, unless the user wants to charge 2 batteries at the same time.


Get adapters, solves your problem but creates another problem. Too many lenses to use on the NEX, but insufficient funds to buy them all.

where is ur 19mm drill ?

Im buy a batteries last night from zaloon studio at pudu plaza, and i just try it today, it totally cant turn on in my NEX, any solution ? or any one got extra can sale to me? i need it urgent tomorrow for trip.

19mm nowhere as compact as the pancake 16mm and 16mm aint sharp. i guess we cant have it all...

yes sir
16mm is still veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy compact
then sigma 19mm is twice as thick

but i sold 16mm and using the sigma now.. i'm still satisfy with it lah

Have u tried to charge it for an hour before pluggin it into NEX??? I mean.. just as a simple test, to see if it powers up.

Also, do give the brand and model of the said battery. I think some 3rd party batteries don't work on 5N, but do work on the 1st Gen 5.

I already charge it as normal the charger with light-up, and and Zaloon say it is ori batteries, after charger at nex7 don't work at all, thank for replay.

I still thinking 16mm for convenience only, coz it small n compact...I still not think it will be very sharp, anyway, just comfortable with the thin size
