A second body: NEX-3N or NEX-5N?

jazzroy

I made a few days ago a quick comparison between 5N and 5R, results are quite interesting. For what I saw 5R, which has same sensor as Nex-6, has some benefits and some drawbacks from the weaker AA filter, but videoquality is quite similar to eldest brother 5N. You can read it all and see the video footage here:

@jazzroy, thanks, In your comparison the NEX-5R look like quality superior in video to the NEX-6, the NEX-6 look very flabby.

Nex-6 and 5R are supposed to have same quality. Maybe internet compression made some Nex-6 videoclip look flabby.

Thanks everybody for the help

After endless doubts and puzzle over order the most balanced option between low price and quality: NEX-5N (U$325 in amazon) + Sigma 30mm 2.8 (U$95 in ebay) both used.

Questions:

What card recommend; SanDisk class 10, Transcend class 10 or any card SDHC/SDXC?
Chinese battery are reliable? In the case of the GH2 I have read of some that have been damaged, but dont know how behave with the NEX.

Thanks in advance.

I'm using chinese bateries and they last as official one, be careful that not all nex-5 chinese are working on nex-5n.

As for SD cards I'm using Sandisk class 10, cheap but never failed me. I have also a basic Sandisk class 4 and it works perfectly too, even at 50p 28mb/sec.

Ive owned a 5n and its brilliant for photography. I now own a Nikon V1 and love it even more. Very underrated camera. Even I thought it would be a peice of shit until I tried it out. It has noise over iso800 but it has a uniformed fine quality thats very easy to clean up especially in raw. Ive shot stuff at higher iso's that look great. EVF is nearly as good as the Nexs. Small and light and the lenses are cheap. Battery life is superb. Its very fast to shoot with. Picked up one with the 10mm f2.8 for under 200 quid.

Thanks people.

Which battery to buy?, One says 7.4V 080mAh and other 7.2V 1500mAh, I confused these differences and that both are on the same team.

I read some NEX-5N can not afford to work with some.

Help please, I need order battery now.

I bought a few of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ex-Pro-NP-FW50-NPFW50-Power-Upgraded/dp/B005HOXE6G

They perform like the original batteries on my Nex 5N, I picked them because they said they had an upgraded chipset for compatibility with the newer Nex cameras.

Howdy, Stranger!
