Hi everyone -
I'm a new member, having been just reading posts for a little while now. It seems like a nice community.
I wish i had something more interesting to contribute as a first post, but I could use a little input with regard to a decision I have to make. I am new to NEX cameras and have recently acquired both a NEX 5n and an F3 (each w/ the 18-55mm kit lens) as well as an EVF. The story of having wound up with both cameras is a bit long and probably not really important, but I got good deals on both and one of them is going to have to go. I purchased the 5n new and the F3 used in like-new condition. I can get about $125-$150 or so more for the 5n and it cost about that much more when i bought it, give or take a little.
I like the 5n, but the F3 has one important feature -- a built in flash that allows me to use both a flash and EVF at the same time, if necessary. I honestly am not sure how often that may be important, but I have been known to use fill flash from time to time and the built in flash is handy.
Anyway, I'll need to make my own decision, but am interested in others opinions.
Thanks.
