hi all, i've been doing reading on the NEX 5N and noticed the extremely good performance in low light/high ISO. Can I ask existing NEX 5N users here, how often do you really need to use flash indoors with the 1855 lens, if you set the ISO to say 3200? anyone got sample photos taken indoor/low light at ISO3200 without flash?

thanks!!

anyone shopping for NEX F3 or 5N? interested to maybe try to form enough people to go for big group purchase and nego best pricing from some shops?

or any NEX C3/NEX 5 users looking to upgrade to F3/5N/7 want to let go existing NEX 5? i might be interested PM me please..

ooh penang jauh lah, sorry.... was actually thinking to get interested parties to group buy from shop in KL

wow very nice... which camera model and any details on iso/fl/aperture/filter/shutter speed/ post processing or jpg?

not many, i guess will be hard to get enough ppl for group buy...

This is where power of internet comes in...if you can find 100 Ppl group buy, and assuming profit per camera is rm100 ( or more?), that's 10k profit in just 1/2 day maybe.... Thats a good motivation for any seller.. and means a huge bargaining power on the group...

Shashinki selling 1855 RM869, 16 RM699...

huh, weird... i checked my notes and it was RM869 before... cause I listed down all the NEX lens along with prices from malaysia and also amazon as reference....
probably my mistake, sorry about this...

for used, i found this as shashinki -> http://shashinki.com/shop/used-sony-emount...ion-p-9384.html

but again it's silver not black...

has anyone tried mounting canon EFS lenses (e.g. cheapo legendary 50mm F1.8) onto the NEX 5N/F3 and do manual focus with the focus peaking feature? if that is possible, it is another good option instead of the expensive sony 50mm 1.8.

update: fuh... anyone here tried something like that? http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp...essage=41772022

for the price of the sony 50mm 1.8, you can get a canon 50mm 1.4 and do manual focus!

Difference is only between rm300-350, i would say take both cause to buy the sel16f28 will cost more than that later.

I think another question is f3d or 5nd....

Try asking here

hi all, i'm a new DSLR user and initially thought of getting the NEX 5N or F3. however, before jumping in, I'm giving a 550d a test.

I was hoping to get some comments and help from NEX 5N/F3 owners here, if you have used the 550D with 50mm 1/8 before, can the 5N/F3 with 18-55 or SEL16 lens come close to image quality/bokeh of the 550D/50mm1.8?

Hope someone here who used 500d and now using NEX 5N can share and advise... Thank you so much!

Thanks for the inputs. Well the canon 50mm 1.8 costs a fraction of the sony 50mm so can't complain so much

But what's important is you feel nex 5n can give you equally good photos in terms of bokeh, depth of field, sharpness? That's very good to hear...

How come 2 years warranty? I thought it's 1 year only?

Hi all,

Just stepped into NEX world with a NEX-C3. Wow, I love the panorama function.

A question - is anyone here using Canon EF/EFS lens with their NEX? using the EOS-E mount adapter? I have a Canon EF 50mm 1.8 and was thinking to try it with my NEX... but just wonder if the image quality can be close to the Sony SEL50F18?

Anyone tried? Thanks!

Think manual focus is not a problem at all with the wonderful peaking feature. I'll find the adapter and try it out thanks

How about comparing Canon 50mm 1.4 with SEL50F18 then?

hi all, just want to ask - how often or when do you guys use the SEL16F28 lens? I've been using mainly the 1855 only, can took some sample shots between both to compare but can't see much benefits other than slightly wider angle and probably just a bit more compact. I don't think the SEL16 gives sharper photos compared to the 1855....

Added on July 23, 2012, 7:37 amRM249 list price according to Sony.

If you're in US or have family/friends in US, Amazon sells it for about RM170+ after conversion:
http://www.amazon.com/Sony-NPFW50-Recharge...words=sony+fw50

and if you dare - get 3rd party from ebay, as low as RM23 incl shipping! e.g.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NP-FW50-NPFW50-Bat...#ht_2514wt_1110

but use at your own risk. For me, I would get the ebay 3rd party, and only use it for short time backup purpose (e.g. while waiting to recharge the ori FW50)
