Me AGAIN fell to the dark side by getting the Sony Nex-5(silver) package that includes the dual lens. Emailed to all those well-known shops for quotations but the prices are so much higher than the one I got from ebay. Paid $1185 for the whole package. From the prices I got from those shops it starts with $1200+.
And most important that ebay seller has stock for the silver set as I find that black is too too common. I asked the seller how come he is selling @ such a good price, he mentioned that he is still in NS and his uncle has a shop in Chinatown wholesaling cameras so he is helping him to sell thus such a good price and also like his own business LOL...
Actually after the fiasco happened with one of the reputable shop in AMK I had totally lost faith with those so-called reputable shops. Dun wanna say too much but all I can say that their CS sucks to the core. One camera bag also want to cheat...
Next step is to shop around for a nice camera bag that can fit the camera body with the len attached and also another len. Thanks to the extra $200 I got from the GST Credit and the $ I had saved. Never imagine I will be spending more than $1k+ after the Pana G1 which I sold it off after a couple of months as I find that it is so heavy LOL.
What I can say about the Nex-5 is that the body is small and light and good for street photography. Will be bringing it to Orchard next monday to take some pics.
Wish Me Luck...
