Had the GF1 with 14-140 for a year. Works great but low light performance still a problem with ISO above 800.
Wanting to get a NEX and almost decided it would be a NEX-5 until last night at SonyStyle and had a chance to hold the C3 - it also seem good. Appreciate any suggestion on the following NEX-5 vs C3:
NEX-5:
Pros:
better grip, seem better quality "feel"/built; and same size sensor with lesser pixel (so each pixel size slighter big and suppose to be good for picking up light)
Cons:
almost 1 year old, slightly more expensive
NEX-C3:
Pros:
new model, slightly cheaper
Cons:
smaller grip so not as good to hold, build quality is good but does not have the feel of the NEX-5
Both very close and difficult to decide. Any suggestion? My key concern is performance in low light situation (as I don't like to use flash)
Also didn't really like the kit lens and wondering if can get the package of just body+SEL18200.
Can anyone point me to where to get the best deal and who might be selling the body+SEL18200 (with the pancake and 18-55)?
Many thanks.
