Sony nex 5n advice

[p1tse]

Where can I pick one up from and how much should I be paying for one with standard lens and flash?

Not sure what the 6 or 7 does or doesn't do versus 5n, but I think the 5n is fine for what I'm looking for.

Will be looking to replace my Olly xz-1

The 5n has been replace by the 5r,you made be able to still pick one up s/h or some places might still have some stock left

As a 5N owner I'd agree that it's a nice camera but it sounds like you really need to read a bit more about the NEX range and the features of the various cameras. If I was buying a NEX today I'd probably be looking at the 6 to get a proper view finder and inbuilt flash as the clip on flash for the 5N is bulky and the accessory view finder for the 5N is expensive.

I use this website to follow camera and lens prices.

Thanks.
S/h prices seem all over the place.

5r would be nice, but the 5n will still give good results, however unsure on its pricing, any ideas

 

[p1tse]

Yes the 6 with inbuilt flash and viewfinder, but I have a dslr for viewfinder so this will just be a grab and go usage

If you're going through Tescos at all it may be worth having a look in their clearout section as I managed to pick up a 5N for £230 with the 18-55mm lens. Stock varies between stores so it's unlikely they have it hence recommending only having a look if you're in Tescos anyway.

I'd also check the Sony outlet as they have 5R's there for £349:

There's no set second hand pricing, it's just going to be a case of what people are prepared to pay for the camera.

Thanks
Does the link above come with flash?
Did yours come with flash?

 

[Johnmcl7]

According to the specification that one from the Sony Outlet does come with a flash:

"Type: External flash (supplied) attachable to Smart Accessory Terminal"

Mine came with a flash as well.

Thanks.
£350 says saving of £230, but john lewis sell this for £450 ish I think

 

[Johnmcl7]

The saving they've mentioned will be from RRP which most retailers are unlikely to charge, £420 seems to be the going price for a 5R with the 18-55mm so £350 is still a reasonable saving. They have just finished a promotion code though for 10% off and I think there was one just before that as well so if they release another that would take another chunk off the price.

Where do I find out about discount codes and does it apply to outlet too?

 

[Johnmcl7]

The discount codes apply to the outlet, I don't think there's a current one - I found them through HotUKDeals - Deals, Discounts & Voucher Codes such as here:

Sony NEX cameras (Sony outlet - refurbished with 12m warranty). e.g. NEX-6 with 16-50 kit lens £449.10, plus Quidco - Hot UK Deals

That code has expired I believe, the one before that was around Mother's day which is why I think there may be another but I might be completely wrong plus stock in the outlet store is not guaranteed either.
