i guess i will be getting soon as my friend is able to offer me at $850 with free 16GB card at Sony shop

Guess ur inbox will be flooded...hehe
 

Just got my set from Cathay Photo at 999 today. Looks like Sony are controlling their prices. First big investment for me in cameras. Hopefully this is a good buy.
 

The bounce flash is cool for in-door condition :cool:

I feel that it's much better than my old LX3 for the image quality (high ISO), bokeh, bounce flash and video.

But need some time to get use to the handling of the camera, I do wish that it's touch screen interface..... Sometime feel that it is too small at time (though which is an advantage for carrying).

You can only get a discount from Cathay if you e-quote first. If you just walk in, you pay RRP.
 

Got mine too. Nice package. I also got a 6 yrs old but new geo tag at $99. Hard to find new one, just nice they have it "sleeping" inside their cupboard. Am happy with my new toys :D

I did get an e-quote. the price is the same. they quoted me a price before GST.
After I calculated the quoted price with GST, it amounts up to $998.31.
I just went down to Cathay and got the item without mentioning the e-quote price.

If 69 cents is considered a discount, then I take it as I forgo the discount from the e-quote.

Good price.

Good price.

I'm not sure about others Sony Centres, just ask the price when I pass-by the shop yesterday.
The casing is white in color, quite nice! :)
 

After some "testing", here are my likes and dislike.

Likes : light body, nice features n functions. Works like a DSLR.
Dislikes : a lot, haha! Can't hold like a PnS cause your left index finger will block the flash. Control wheel useful but easily can change photo (as in rotates) when you press the 4 directions. Some functions grey out, not all can be use in all modes. Manual looks thick but inside, not much informations on functions and the camera help also dont provide much. No external charger, if you think of getting extra batt, you need one. Only solution, get a portable battery charger for all but ex also, haha! Heats up easily, even at night.

That's all I can think of now. Btw, I try to take in the dark, ISO 25600! haha!

i hold it like how i hold a DSLR.. with my left hand on the lens.. so i wun block the flash..
but right hand has no grip at all.. thats why i considering to get the Richard Franiec grip.. but damn ugly on a sleek camera (IMO)..

as for the charging you can use a wire with a micro-usb connector to charge the camera..
like some bros mentioned.. if you own a HTC/ Samsung android phone then most prob you can share the charger.. :thumbsup:

so for a more detailed manual click here..
