if planning to use UWA or fisheye converter, u can go for SEL16F28. otherwise u just continue use the kit lens SELP1650, since both lens wide end is same 16mm (24mm equivalent with full frame camera's field of view)
*
Hold up... I'm a lil' bit confused here.
Whats the difference between SEL16F28 and SELP1650 then? Let's assume that I'm not planning to get either the UWA or fisheye converter.
Will the images of the SEL16F28 turn 'sharper'?

no need go into so detail la, compare the age already know. impossible to use a same sensor for so long on different cameras right (other than silly canon tongue.gif)
Don't prioritize sharpness when you are just a beginner looking to get a good camera.

the 1650 might not be as sharp as the 16 since it's meant to be a cheap and convenient kit lens instead of a professional high quality lens. but you get a good wide angle (24mm on FF equivalent) and telephoto (75mm on FF equivalent) instead of getting stucked on 24mm with the 16.

sharper image is useless if you don't get the zoom/ reach you wanted, cropping a image will always degrade it compared to physical zoom.

Advice taken, thanks!

SEL16F28 is fixed focal wide angle lens, meanwhile SELP1650 is standard zoom lens. if u never plan to get converter u should stick on the kit lens, and actually SELP1650 overall IQ is better than SEL16F28

Advice taken! Much thanks. May i ask does the SEL20F28 cost more expensive? Isnt the SEL16F28 'wider'?

SEL16F28 is wider than SEL20F28, but if terms of IQ, for my test, i feel SEL20F28 sharpness is slightly better. otherwise both lens perform quite similar

*just take note of i never own SEL20F28 before and i just having a short test which my friend own it. maybe other user can share with even more detail
*
Conclusion, people get the SEL16F28 because its pocketable, light, small and they want to use either the fish eye or wide angle converter

exactly, the evf is really great. Though yes, the downside is the battery finishes faster. That's why need to prepare about 2-3 extra if traveling.
Still I'd pick mirrorless anytime over dslr now.

OVF feels more 'original' but EVF feels like I'm keeping up with the latest technology. Hehe

Get a mirrorless camera, like Fujifilm XE1 or XE2. You will be amazed at the image quality. I used to be a canon DSLR owner with L lenses (100mm f2.8L, 200mm L2.8 etc) and after using the fujifilm, I realised that getting a DSLR was a mistake for me.
