Some pricing from HK side. Roughly about $2.4k SGD. Body, Grip, 16-50mm lens. Seem ok to me, if I going there next year to get.

BBB again..
Yes, but it's the first time a DSLR/DSLT has this.
Singapore pricing should be around $2999 then? No pricing for NEX-7 yet?
And If A77 jpeg output is similar to Nex 7 output, then Sony should just keep Nex 7 in cold storage.
I will get the 5n instead.

Well, since you don't have the skillset or requirement for the advanced features and controls of the NEX-7, which is obvious since you base everything on pre-production sample JPEG images, you can just get the 5N, and leave the NEX-7 for those who know how to appreciate it.

Wait for yr end and see any promo. No point buying when launch. Anyway, I might still in USA when launch, maybe I go there and buy? ;p

Please advise how to appreciate Nex-7 now if there is nothing to compare?
So is it reasonable to presume that A77 output will be similar to Nex7?
I expect Nex 7 to be maybe 1/2 stop better and maybe up to 5% more detail than A77 but I do not expect Nex 7 to surprise us with big WOW...
If Nex 7 do WOW us me, I will be the first in the queue to get it.

At this point in time any Tom, Dick & Harry can make their own assumptions, good or bad, on the various previews, all over the web, about the JPEG output of the A77.
IMHO, it's grossly premature to assume the worst. Why many have made up their mind is kinda unfair to the product. As a A700 user and future A77 owner, I'll rather, at least, wait until a full, credible review before I make my judgement.
I definitely know I'll shoot in RAW and sometimes set to RAW + JPEG. I'm no stupid consumer and buy things based on previews and definitely not a Sony fan boy.
JPEG is just for convenience to me and it's kind of absurd to shoot in JPEG exclusively with a A77. Many of my wishlist features are there and JPEG IQ is not highest on my list. Better RAW output , egronomics and micro adjust, top the list. Even without a OVF or using a Translucent mirror instead of conventional mirror is a non issue to me.
It's just a tool and yes it's not perfect but I can forsee it will help ease my photography hobby usage.
So it's definitely not an end-of-the-world thing in this kinda issue, which can be fix with a firmware upgrade.
IQ in Jpeg is one thing but the other plethora of features ensures me I'll definitely get the A77. Let's not be short sighted.
If you have been a while with Minolta/Sony you'll definitely will already think like me. A700 had such issues too then until firmware v4 came.

you're talking about the guy who GOT the A77 from Sony and wrote a review on it in the other forum.
i wonder where your thoughts are coming from.
