hi guys, went over to one of the Sony center in Gurney Plaza, they still did not have the display unit out but when I approached one of the sales person, I was half surprised that he said they have the unit already. Open up the drawer and showed me the box. Price wise? RM2499... free 8GB memory card and case. Woah, I bet we can get it at much cheaper price elsewhere, so without the ability to test, I just thanked him and walked away.

It got me thinking, should I opt for other similar size CSC camera (m4/3, Nikon 1, Canon EOS-M eventually?) or to just go with this super compact which can have its lens collapse completely, no future upgrade possibility and at a very expensive price.

I want a decent camera which shoots excellent video compared to a smartphone. Holding out on Nikon V1 for a few months... and now this excellent little shooter surfaced... not to mention, there would be new camera announcements soon, possibly Nikon 1 updated camera, LX7, EOS-M, etc.

Decisions, decisions...

more like a compliment, I do own D90. Looking for a more pocketable camera which can also take descend videos with certain bokeh effect and manual focus control... smile.gif
