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...

Currently using this all-weather shoulder bag: http://products.lowepro.com/product/Apex-120-AW,1902,20.htm
Can fit NEX-5 + Sigma 19, plus Sony 18-200, with ample space for passport, wallet, other useful little things. Sling around shoulder, very secure.

hey guys, what is the cheapest price that you got for nex 7?

a friend of mine, his boss asked me FOR a price if i want to buy nex 7 from him, just wondering what is the cheapest price that i can offer, yet not acting like a jerk.

.... I'd say my budget would be $40 USD and below, that can carry a NEX + a 55-200, or even just the NEX itself. ...

Where u buy your 5mdh? And how much u buy?

Do you meant the extra big flash, extra battery? Else it only pricing at RM 2499.

sound like they wana con me, yah, with extra small flash, i saw it just RM399 (no yet discount)
so 2499+399, still cheaper then 2999

Brand new or 2nd hand?
If 2nd-hand body only and with MY warranty, maybe 3.7k as the RRP is 4.5k.

Try check some models from Lowepro, Kata, Thinktank, Vanguard, etc in the stores that falls within your budget...
Having used 3 Crumpler bags myself, I found that they are over-rated and over-price, but I keep buying them coz of their bold design and colour...

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.

Hey, thanks for the reply. So after reconsidering and as u said, since im just a beginner, i think i'll go for 5N also and spend on lens later on. thanks ya
