Snapsort listed these as NEX7 advantages against NEX5N:

Has a viewfinder
Much higher true resolution
Continuous video focus
Has an external mic jack
Better image quality
More dynamic range
Built-in flash
Better color depth

Seems negligible though tongue.gif

Snapsort just dumps whatever specs the manufacturers list, useful for quick comparison but hardly a reliable method to judge IQ... dpreview better tongue.gif

Hey guys,

I surveyed the price for NEX 5ND (twin lenses) and the shop guy quoted me RM 2215!!!!!

I've surveyed other shops selling NEX 5NK not lower than RM 2250 but his shop is ridiculously cheap... So i'm just curious as if there's something wrong with the camera... Is it possible to be as cheap? It's totally brand new, not a demo model, but currently out of stock so I have to wait for 2-3 weeks time..

Actually I was lucky to get that price... I surveyed other shop with lowest RM2250 for 5NK, so I found this shop, asked the guy if he can beat that price.. He gave me RM 2200..! I was thrilled.. So I wanted to get it but he said it was out of stock as the last unit was sold just 1/2 hour before me... And here comes the magic, as he showed me the receipt of the purchased for the last unit... I saw the Item "Sony NEX 5N + 1855mm + 16mm" for RM2215...!! holy mother...!! So i asked him about that price, he was reluctant at first, but gave me the same price when the stock comes...

So what do you think? NEX 5ND for RM2215....?? thx for opinion..

fufufufu.. real cheap mang! u sure 5ND not 5D ah?

The SEL16F28 with UWC will be much wider compare to 19mm...
hence, lots of ppl say sigma19mm sharp and good IQ  drool.gif
