I'm looking to replace my damaged Sony compact (quoted price to fix: 640MYR sad.gif )
The camera will be used during travelling and for normal daily shots.

Currently looking at the NEX-F3, but is the predecessor, NEX-C3 a better camera in general (based on reviews I skimmed through) ? The price of F3 is lower than C3 at YL Camera though.

Or should I straight aim for the NEX-5N.

How crucial/important is extended warranty for cameras ?
Is it worth it to get the 2 years extended warranty from Sony, for 180MYR ?

Your unit still under warranty, send it to Sony, but takes days if not 2 weeks. I'm doing fine so far with just a blower.

Does this mean Sony Service Centres provide free cleaning services for units under warranty ?

Thanks for the link !

Just received mine in the mail today.
Really surprised that the quality is so good, for something less than 5MYR total..

Other than DIY, can send to Sony SC e.g. The Curve.

For units under warranty, they provide free body, sensor, lens cleaning.

According to Sony Service Centre at The Curve, cleaning service is free for units under warranty.
Includes body, lens or sensor. Only difference is the duration it will take.

Was at the service centre in The Curve to fix another camera, and when I asked one of the senior attendant, she said that it will be FOC as long as the camera is still under warranty.

Maybe you could ask directly at The Curve, since you would need to send it there as well for the cleaning service. Opens daily from 10am till 10pm, thus, very convenient.. icon_rolleyes.gif
There's another service centre in KLCC as well.

Ouch sweat.gif They might be charging you the transportation fee to the service centre.
IMHO, I would definitely send to a reliable place to clean, as your sensor and lens is real dirty.. brows.gif
