Awesome camera. Got it for 700 bucks last year from graysonline with 18-55 and 55-200 mm lens.
This one looks like the 16mm and 18-55 mm one. Good, but not great price.Can anyone comment on the differences between the nex-5N and the nex-5RB? The only difference i can see is one has wireless. But the RB twin lens kit is a couple hundred more than the N. So im not sure if the RB is meant to be a better camera or not.
The NEX-5R (the B means it is black) has better manual control with the addition of the control dial on the top. It is also gifted with an updated sensor/processor and software (not a huge difference).

The NEX-5R is a newer and better camera in my opinion. Much better value if you dont need the lenses
Thanks for the info aim54x. Looks like I might go for the R then, and try and buy some lenses separate.
If you are buying body only check ebay. Some people break up kits and sell body only on there.Even cheaper than Hardley Normal prices.
The 5R is a better camera. I have the 5N and played with the 5R and 6 at a Sony Masterclass session.
FWIW, the 5R has been replaced by the 5T.
You can buy a powerzoom kit lens for maybe $200-$250 off ebay. If you're new to photography and don't have steady hands, lenses with OSS are better.
I woulnd't recommend getting the old Nex 5 - it's about 2-3 years old.
ymmv.
Wireless/Apps are meh. The extra control dial and sensor that does hybrid focus is what you get R for. For these to be of real benefits depends on if you are point&shooter (extra control dial & focus won't matter as much), however if you are learning manual modes and playing with photography in general, then you want R.
Some Harvey Norman have the Nikon 1 J1 body + twin lenses kit on sale for $398 down from $888.
Here's the comparo with between the two. Sony is still in front.
The Nikon V1 twin lens was $320 last time but hard to find stock.

Accidently clicked REP but could not remove :(
I don't consider J1 as comparable to NEX-5N/5R. J1 are more like NEX-3 (C3, F3) equivalent…
That J1 is a bargain in it's own right, but don't compare it to 5N/5R.
Just want ppl to not get the impression that they are comparable in performance.
Yes but if ppl don't want to pay that much they can still consider the Nikon V1 with flash @ David Jones for $299

Or Olympus PEN Mini E-PM1 $249 at Target in store.
the nex 5R body only is $380 @ harvernorman . cheaper than ebay
Pick up the sigma 19 + 30 and you'll have a pretty good kit.
Cannot recommend the NEX cameras more highly. I have owned a NEX-5 and loved it, currently own a NEX-7 and love it. Other companies certainly have caught up in the MILC market in the last couple of years, but I still feel that the NEX cameras are the best of the bunch.
I'm selling my E-Mount (NEX) Tamron 18-200mm lens as well if anyone is interested in a good deal on a versatile lens.
Do these do 4K video like the Nikon V1? It seems it can do 1-second clips at 30fps or 0.5-second clips at 60fps. Is this a big deal? Or something that more cameras will come out with very quickly?
Thanks for sharing OP
Spare Li-On Battery are 50% off at David Jones $49.50, to go with the camera.
