I disagree. The NEX system cameras are still much smaller and lighter than traditional DSLR's despite the sizes of their lenses: http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1314/512 ... 6146b9.jpg82 wrote: ↑This is true only if you stick with pancake lens (2 of them available now - I think). NEX's size advantage diminishes quickly with a zoom lens and/or flash. A better alternative is something like the hot Sony RX100 which is designed to be portable and shines in low light party environment.

Further, the NEX offers adaptability. You have the choice of using smaller pancakes, popping on the E-Mount 50mm f1.8, or even going A-Mount using the LA-EA2, depending on the situation. A few manufacturer's have even released Canon EF adapters, allowing you to use your EF lenses with full electronic control. The future is bright for this system.

Adding shipping charges is their new policy. Shipping is $19.94 (for me in MTL anyway).

The Nikon D90 is 624g, while the 5N comes in at 210g (body only for both)... I suppose it's subjective? Either way, it's quite a significant difference. Viewfinder and flash can be purchased/attached separately, not to mention standard hot-shoe adapters now available for the NEX system (adaptability). Also, I forgot to mention the NEX-5N's excellent video mode.82 wrote: ↑I can only speak for my own experience, I see little difference to carry a D90 + 18-105mm than a NEX5 with 18-55 (less zoom). Both need the same care and wear on the neck/shoulder. An RX100 on the other hand, is truely pocket size while provides comparable IQ at wide end at same shutter speed.
As I said, "Pancake" is an exception.
Also, viewfinder and flash are very useful even in bright day.
