(SR5) NEX3 + 16mm lens for 499Euro
The cheapest NEX camera-lens combination will be the Sony NEX3+16mm lens for 499 Euro. The NEX5+16mm lens will be 599 Euro. This are the price indications form Sony. The real price could be cheaper!
I was told that also two-lens-kits will be available for cheap.
For comparison:
In US the Olympus E-PL1+lens is $549.00
(425 Euro) and the Panasonic GF1 $754.95 (585 Euro)
On Amazon Germany you can have the Olympus E-PL1+lens for 540 Euro and the Panasonic GF1+lens for 780 Euro

Maybe I’ll have some money left for some nice accesoires.

3 years ago |umm if that is including VAT – it could be cheaper in US. however, this price is a letdown. i thought sony was going to have “aggresive pricing”. thats more like… “testing the consumer waters” lol.
hopefully samsung pulls a rabbit out of the hat and nx100 has better ergonomics and IBIS. im much less excited about nex3/5 now. its going to have to be a lot better IQ than nx5/10/100 offerings.

So that’s about $40 more expensive for the NEX3, and $70 more expensive for the NEX5 than I expected.
Plus it sounds like the flash unit is NOT included — but not sure about that yet.
