Thanks for the heads up. Just picked this up through Sony Rewards. Only concern is how long it will take to ship. In their FAQ section, they state that it can take anywhere from 2-4 weeks. :eek:

Umm.. so far in the L.A. area's craiglist, the knuckleheads selling them are asking for $500+ for Nex 5 bundle. This is not even the Nex 5n... You sure it's $400-425 for a Nex 5n bundle???

It's a nice price but Sony is planning on releasing the Sony 5F later this year. There's no specs available though it might be advantageous to wait if you don't need a new camera immediately.
