Hmm can I ask where you get this price quote? I got a quote of 699 at ms color..

Also I was wondering if its better to hoot this at upcoming itshow? Thanks for advice~~~

MSColor usually gives a good price, but not necessarily the lowest price. Alan photo normally gives the best price (of course there will always be exceptions).

Find out the price at Comex. Then give Alan photo a call for a quote. Easy.

Also, make sure the price quoted includes GST.

for this price, why not consider canon eos m kit III

If u look at reviews at this EOS M, it is quite a piece of crap. The auto focus speed is quite slow and does not work very well even with the new firmware updates.

not bad if based on Amazon recent 2 months reviews.
For this price point $690, you get 2 good lenses, a small flash with wireless master function and a solid body.

Gotta be careful when you buy these DSLRs, heard that some of them if the price is low, it's possible that the inner parts are completely different from the actual Sony..

No idea what u r talking about. For the record, a Sony Nex is not a DSLR

I dont think Amazon reviews are that credible lol, look at professional reviews elsewhere and usually u will see that sony and olympus are much better

I think if you buy an interchangeable lens camera system, you should buy one that will perform well to justify the higher price.

The Canon and Nikon mirrorless systems are both less than ideal choices to put it politely. I would not say they are crap, but they are definitely inferior to the options from Sony, Olympus and Panasonic.

The Canon EOS M is known for poor performance, while the Nikon bafflingly uses small sensors. Perhaps being stalwarts of the SLR/DSLR industry has constrained their ability to think out of the box for a fresh approach in a new camera category.

For now, I don't suggest a mirrorless system from Canon or Nikon.

PS: There are also several good options from Panasonic and Olympus that are in the similar price/performance bracket as the NEX-3N

PPS : Panasonic recently announced the GX7 which looks like it will be a blockbuster on par with the Olympus OM-D and the Sony NEX-6. These are high end cameras though.
