I am thinking the other way, if mostly stick with kit lens, then D3100/500D/550D  vs NEX3/NEX5 ..  not much different, other then NEX kit is much cheaper.

NEX3 + 18-55 kit lens, not that much smaller then D3100+kit ..  Picture quality will be close, those NEX system is decent in quality, if you don't mind the look.

Lots of lens to choose for the NEX (adaptor, no AF) of course, lots of great lens for 550D as well, and D3100 etc. ( no af )

Living in Canada, size may not be the problem, if in HK, then carry the NEX (or GF1/2) is nice, just put it in your purse, but here, will use camera bag anyway, just throw to the trunk.

Buy la, buy la. One way or another, we need more people stimulating the economy ar mah.

The camera is just a tool. It will NOT make your photos look good simply because it is a bigger camera than your DC. Do you have any plans to actually spend some time and learn some of the very basics of photography? If you are gonna be lazy about it, then you'll only end up stimulating the economy.

Captino,  why are you always argue against me?  Do i owe you some money?

Hmm, I saw on craigslist, someone is selling a Nikon 28mm 1.4D, go buy yourself one for Christmas.

Catpiano

Ha ? what did I say to you? I never paid attention ..... don't be as sensitive as Big C sister la..  

Aiya .. I just share my experience jei ..

Don't get me wrong, I always say the NEX is a good system for price, but small size in Canada, not big deal ... ( well, I am sure size does matter in other thing .. lol )

Missed the NEX deal from Dell, will just pick a set from HK.

28 1.4D is a great lens, but it is for collect rather then to use, and I am not a big fan for buying collectable lens.

    no ar, the guy is selling for 2K.  The new 24mm1.4 ASF costs more.  It you like 28mm, it is a good buy.

Catpiano

2K .. then reasonable wor ..   pm me the link la..  

24 1.4AFS is a good lens, it is sharp too, as sharp as the Canon 24.4, however, for those kind of lens, I think Bokeh is more important, and somehow, all the new Nikon lens, are not doing that great in Bokeh. (ie: I think the 85D has better Bokeh then 85G, even the 85G is sharper @ 1.4)
thx.

I heard the glass in this lens is hand grind by Japanese technicians,  They are all dead now.  
If I have the money, I pick up one for sure.

Please let me play with it when you get it.
