If you have a discount coupon you can get it for even less.

Is the Nex-5k same as Nex-5n? Thought they were different.

Brendon read carefully... its Nex 5N , not 5K, everybody knows about availability of 5K in india

There is hell and heaven difference between these 2 cameras ... 5N is much faster, much better sensor , with capabilties even better than D7k sensor.. and its whooping 24mp

nex 5n is 16mp if i m not wrong, only nex7 is 24mp

[ArindomRC]

yes... a mis info.. but Nex 5N have much better sensor and faster af than Nex5

[Brendon]

Oh sorry ! Missed the N.

There wont be any availability for some time due to the Thailand floods. Stocks are limited around the world and India is a non consequential market for Sony. So they will take care of stock problems elsewhere before launching the camera in India.

thanks all. I checked all known sources and none have it neither having any idea about price. Just that I might travel so was wondering if I there is not much price difference (like nex5), I prefer to buy it locally.

On my recent last month visit to hongkong for 10 days, 5N were freely available with 70% of the retailers lowest price I got

- @ 4000 HK$ ( only Body)
- @ 4400-4500 HK$ ( with 18-55mm lens)
- @ 10500-10700 HK$ body+18-200mm+32GB memory+cover+Tripod etc

I didn't buy from HK cause afraid of Indian customs & thought it would been available in Mumbai till I reach. Even few Retailers were offering Nex-7

I have new 5N black brand new, if anyone's interested can contact me

[agbenny]

@modysachin do you still have the 5N with you for sale? Please let me know. I am interested.

I've got a Sony NEX-5N for sale. Barely used, excellent condition, since this wasn't my primary Cam for shooting. Moving onto the Alpha DSLR series. The camera is located in Bangalore.

It's the Basic Kit of NEX-5N + 18-55mm kit lens

along with Sony 55-200mm, Sony 30mm Macro and a Sigma 19mm f/2.8 prime

I'm willing to sell either the basic kit (with a 32gb SD Class 10 included) or the entire kit.

If anyone's interested, just Mail or PM me.

I actually have a rant(bythom type) against Sony India...and I am going to express it here assuming some Sony India rep reads it and drills some sense into Sony-India Marketing Heads brain.
Just look at Sony India launch dates compared to their World Launch dates -

1. Sony Alpha NEX-5 - International Launch May'2010 - Available in India
2. Sony Alpha NEX-3  - International Launch May'2010 - Available in India
3. Sony Alpha NEX-C3 - International Launch June'2011 - Not available in India (not listed on Sony India website and not available with dealers I inquired with)
4. Sony Alpha NEX-5N - International Launch Aug'2011 - Not available in India (not listed on Sony India website and not available with dealers I inquired with)
5. Sony Alpha NEX-7  - International Launch Aug'2011 - Not available in India (listed on Sony India website but not available with dealers I inquired with;looks like launched a couple of months back only as the website added it around that time as "new"  )

Need I write more about 2012 releases like Sony Alpha NEX-F3, Sony Alpha NEX-5R or Sony Alpha NEX-6.....you bet they will be launched in India only when they are getting phased out in other parts of the World.

Coming from Automotive Industry, I can give an interesting analogy - Sony is behaving like GM behaved in the 90s, dumping excess US leftovers(I know engines for sure came from the warehouse leftover in US) in India in the form of "state of the art" Opel cars. Everybody knows what happened to GM(or OPEL). They are still struggling to make a foothold in Indian market with Chevrolet.
Sony India will do good to learn from them. Else they will only be selling sensors to other camera companies and LCD TVs to Indian in the near future.

Sorry Admins - couldn't find a forum named "Rants" so posted this here.

Regards,
KD
