I'm a beginner just like you. bought C3 with twin lens back in February, i wasn't aware of 5N at that time....i was looking for entry level non PnS camera.  I was checking out Panasonic GF3 and NEX C3.  From my point of view, if we are beginner, and dunno much about lens, kit lens 18-55mm is good enough.  I would go for 5N if the price is only a slight different.  Well, if you have look into different lens, and would like to have the wide angle pencake lens 16mm then I would probably go for C3 twin lens.  FYI, 5N has touch screen and we can add remote shutter control device.

Now with F3, the newer model...I'm not sure what I will choose if I'm you now....F3 has added self-portrait, auto portrait framing and some cool features.  The physical outlook look quite similar to NEX 7.  You probably have to go to shop and try it out to find out what you like.  F3 has twin lens package, as well as the SEL50F18 option as well.

After few study, I prefer stay with SEL50F18 and Sigma 19mm lens, it provide better IQ with Nex5n.

I still vote for NEX5n for the touch screen function as it only applied on Nex5N

Can I know the street price for F3 with twin lens and the SEL50F18? And which shops offer this option.

hi guys, wanna show off some photos with my new nex-5n, but how to post photos here?hehehehehe

Superb   

In indoor event I always shoot wide open. Because it gives really a lot of sharpness.
So far never regret buying it.

i see a lot of sharpness in your pics,is this straight out of camera of went through editing?they look heavily processed

sharpness is default in ACR, I shoot raw however.
heavily processed ah.. just within the area of Camera raw and smoothing the face due to uneven lighting.
nothing to do with sharpness other than that. 

oh ya my pic has quite a bit of noise, ISO 1600 push 1 stop or 0.5 like that.

don't get me wrong,they are nice,sharp and contrasty,this would make a killer print out,they have the "punch"
just that it can looks a bit artificial sometime

can you post some straight out of camera pic,preferably some shots with ppl in it?i'm keen to evaluate sony jpeg engine for myself,i place emphasis on skin tone rendition. looking to get 1 myself very soon

Looking for affordable camera bags for my NEX. Recommendations anyone?

Define affordable?
To some, fake Crumpler is the max they can go while others might not bat an eyelid to splurge on Billingham or Artisan Artist bags....
Easier if you specify your budget and what other accessory/lenses you want to fit into the bag....

Having said that, for my set-up which consist of NEX7, 18-200, 50 OSS and Sigma 19mm, I used Crumpler 5MDH and still have some space for handphone, keys, spare batteries, cigarette box, etc...
