Bought myself a Christmas gift and last minute write off for 2011. Barely unboxed it and the battery is charging now. I was going back and forth between this ($549) and the NEX 5N ($699)which is a $150 more expensive and the difference is mainly the touchscreen and 1080HD video recording. Going to try the NEX C3 first and possibly exchange to the NEX 5N if necessary.
I have got the same camera and it is really the most amazing piece of technology that you are talking about. It was good to have the information about the camera that it basically for professional use.
