Yesterday Sony Malaysia launched the Sony SLT-A58 and Sony NEX 3N , priced at RM1999 and RM1799 respectively.
Sony DSLT A58.
Sony NEX 3N.
** I’ll have more specifications for you later when I obtain the official specs sheet from Sony Malaysia. Meanwhile, as of current that the Sony NEX 3N is the world’s lightest and smallest interchangable-lens camera with a large APS-C sized sensor, grabbing more light than the sensor in ordinary compact cameras.
I have used the Sony NEX 5N, NEX 7, NEX F3 and the NEX 6 and I can assure you that Sony NEX range of cameras are great for low-light photography.
Lately, due to an issue with my NEX 6 I have been forced to use other micro-four thirds and none has been comparable to the Sony NEX.
I can’t wait for the NEX 3N to be available (by April) so I’ll finally be back to using Sony NEX cameras again!

The light, compact new NEX-3N interchangeable lens camera and the DSLT A58 from Sony will be available in Malaysia from April 2013.
i’ve shifted back from using canon to using sony now too (though i’m still using a point-and-shoot). it’s good 😀
Sony has always been fabulous for its lens and colour quality albeit a bit costly. However now their entry level cameras such as the F3 and NEX 3N is pretty ok at below RM2000!
There is so much nex series I lost track of it already…so this new nex3 is a entry level?
Correct dear! 🙂
Lightest and smallest too!
Cant wait to see the spec!
I really love Sony NEX. I highly recommend it and the 50mm lenses is the best thing ever! 😀
If I were in Malaysia, I would attend this event in a heartbeat. 😀
OH yes! I know ur using the NEX F3 right? The 50mm? I’ll check it out! Will be buying 18-55 and then another lens for wide angle & travel use with the NEX 3N
