Seems like a good price, care to share how much will it be without the extended warranty?

Thinking of getting 5N twin kit

Not bad...hmm
 

I got my set from Parisilk (HV) yesterday. Standard pricing as per e-quote from MSC & CP. Charged battery but haven't play with it yet.
- Sony NEX-5n (silver). Dual lens kit.
- Toshiba 8GB SDHC Class 10 card
- Brown Sony Case LCD-EMC

Damage: S$1,180

Extended warranty is minus ~S$140++ making the set with goodies ~S$1210++

So for about S$40++ more from the usual standard quote from MSC and Parisilk, you are getting extra:
- Sony 16GB PRO-HG Duo X 1
- Extra original battery NP-FW50 X1
- Steinzeiser 49mm UV filter X2
- screen protector X 1

IMHO....the extra original battery is well worth it's price...especially if you intend to bring your camera for travel use.

for info: the cheapest original battery is S$95+ quote from parisilk.
RRP is S$120
 

Wow seems like HN giving good deal for around 1200 getting extra memory card and battery !
 

Congrats for a great deal you have! The extra battery and filters are worth it! I was at Courts Jurong Point on Sunday and the deal they had was simply a 8GB card and bag (No other goodies were mentioned). As for Harvey Norman, I actually called them and it was the same deal, that's why I went elsewhere... duh~

Btw how does a PRO-HG Duo MS compare to a UHS-I SD card like the SanDisk Extreme Pro? Isn't the old PRO-HG Duo standard only as fast as a class 4 SD card?

Interesting question, did my own little research:

16GB Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo™ HX

16GB Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo™ with HX Engine and high speed data transfer of up to 50MB/s.

16GB Capacity
HX Engine - a new and intelligent flash memory controller which realizes high-speed, stable and reliable data transfer
High Speed data transfer with read speed of up to 50MB/s and minimum writing speed of 15MB/s

Whereas the Toshiba SDHC 8GB is class 10 which is equal to 10MB/s write speed.

UHS-I SD card like the SanDisk Extreme Pro - Up to 45 MB/sec (300X) read/write speeds.

So in summary the MS PRO-HG is only slightly faster than a class 10 SDHC card.

If cost is no issue, the UHS-1 Sandisk Extreme Pro seem to be the fastest in the market now.

You need to meet the correct sales person who is willing to give a good bundle. Some HN sales people are very stiff in their sales practice.

LOL ! :bsmilie: ...the good ole 'Kiasu' mentality ...but if we don't outgrow this habit, we'll NEVER be First world in the true sense of the word, and Singapore will be a worst place to leave in !

It's not in the blood, it's in the upbringing ! ..its sad that they don't teach our kids in schools more "consideration for others" instead of "scoring more As at all costs", as a result, they grow up with the "Me first" attitude.
 

Thanks bro! Now checking out the "clicking" sound on the video mode. Hope its negligible. Lovely camera BTW :)

If I may.....
my purpose of posting my purchase deal here is for the sole purpose of contributing back to the forum. During my research and sourcing of a good deal for the NEX5n, the information posted by other forumers saved me a lot of leg work and effort.

Not everyone is as keen to pay RRP for a product knowing that you can get a better deal elsewhere. IMHO, if a person just want a good deal for a product, that does not constitute "kiasu".

Don't get me wrong, but I do salute those who only pay RRP for their purchase and thank them greatly for contributing more (at least compared to me) to the economy and government tax revenue.

I m pretty sure ghost didn't mean any offence towards u at all. Just dat all de posts abt where can get wat deal was perhaps starting to become too much.

I totally agree and appreciate dat de leg work u (and de other "deal scouts") have done and de benefit it brought to other though I am not a beneficiaries.

Cheers.
