  1. So according to Amazon DE the pricing will be like this:
    -NEX 3 + 16mm pancake = €499
    -NEX 3 + 18-55 zoom= €549
    -NEX 3 + 6mm pancake + 15-55 zoom = €649

    -NEX 5 + 16mm pancake = €599
    -NEX 5 + 18-55 zoom = €649
    -NEX 5 + 18-200 tele = €1099
    -NEX 5 + 6mm pancake + 15-55 zoom = €749

    Which would mean:
    -16mm pancake = €100
    -18-55mm zoom = €150
    -18-200mm tele = €600 (goink!)

    The NEX5 + both kit lenses looks like a good deal (for me at least, but how usable is the 18-55mm lens?)

  2. 18-200mm tele = €600 (goink!)
    Ohhh… just like R1 : lens was this price-quality but camera was sold less. I should wait… I should ! And they should make it before summer holidays 😉

  3. It should be available in Japan in early june, and according to my local Sony website (The Netherlands) it should be available at the end of june.
    I don’t believe the rest of the wordl will differ too much from that. 😉

  4. Ritz Camera online (US) has it too. I believe that Ritz online has no relation to the former chain store (following the bankruptcy), but, nonetheless, it is another source.

  5. Nah, it’s just the silver one. It has those colours because of reflection. It’s lying on a white plate surrounded by orangy curtains.
    You can also see that the grip isn’t beige all around.

  6. I guess that a pancake is great for portability. But when filming a zoom is prefered – and the anti-shake might help video as well.

    I would take both for those reasons.

    The pictures I have seen so far does not impress me when it comes to lens quality. But I guess that some firmware updates will hide distorsion and CA more.

  7. Let’s wait for E L E C T R O N I C V I E W F I N D E R before ordering.
    Curious detail I spotted about the lens specs on digitalkamera.de: All lenses can be used on a fullformat chip – but this is probably an error writing the article.

    1. Hi Thomas!

      Can you ask them why they say that it covers fullframe? If it is not a mistake than this would be a real scoop!

  8. “The pictures I have seen so far does not impress me when it comes to lens quality. But I guess that some firmware updates will hide distorsion and CA more.”

    I think they’ll also release lens profiles that can be imported into Lightroom or something fancy like that (I don’t own Lightroom so I don’t know) that can correct the lens distortion in the RAW images.
