Sony NEX-6 Triple Lens Kit $999 @ Teds Cameras

110

Sony nex 6 is imho one of the best aps c camera around. Many people think this camera is superior to the more expensive nex 7.

Included 3 lens kit

16-50 f3.5-5.6 oss around $200 ebay
55-210 f4.5-6.3 oss around $250
50 f1.8 oss cheapest I ve seen $250

So effective body only price of $300 for local warranty

These lens kit has a favourable review and should be more than sufficient for beginer to enthusiasts. As more and more lens coming for e mount this will be a very attractive camera platform for lots of people.

I bought this at camera house by price matching ted camera. So I can say check camera house as well if you have one nearby.

  • Pretty sweet deal, the 55-210 is shit but the 50mm will pretty much stay on the body forever, it's a great lens when I had the NEX7 back then

    This package is also available at Videopro for a few dollars less and they provide free shipping for those who do not have a Teds near by.

  • I was just researching this camera. Wouldn't be bothered with the extra lenses (55-210 can be had for around $170 second hand) but apart from the lack of touchscreen which the 5T has, it's a very nice M4/3 by all reports. High quality viewfinder and extra control dial/buttons is what sets it apart from the 5T. Wirecutter rated it the best M4/3 under $1K http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/the-sony-nex-6-is-the-best-…

    Hope this helps someone.

    PS a new range of Sony's is due in March from what I've read. Prices on the current Nex models will (should) drop significantly soon after.

      The NEX-6 is an APS-C sensor camera, not micro four-thirds.

      • Thanks for that. Missed it during the reading.

      First of the new range already came out.

      They dropped the NEX naming and this one is for replacing the Nex-3N.

      • The ILCE-5000 looks interesting. I hope they're planning to offer a new model at some point which includes a viewfinder.

        • Hopefully the new model doesn't make nex-6 obsolete, they way Sony did the upgrade with the nex-5 is not major upgrades, nex-5n to nex-5r to nex-5t, quality picture wise they all similar.

          Few things they can add with the nex-6 upgrade are touch screen and manual set for min-max on the auto ISO (currently the max is 3200, permanently).

          The price will keep entry level buyers going to the NEX series, and I'm sure that's where Sony are now pitching NEX vs Alpha 7 + from now on. NEX could easily become a launching pad into the mirrorless market, resulting in future upgrading to the full frame/higher spec models (that's where I'm heading). Its likely future e-mount lenses will be marketed along side the α7, focusing on the full features of the α7 etc., but a taste of what's possible can still be found in the NEX. Sony may cut down on NEX models, as differences such as viewfinder, flash, horseshoe vs hotshoe mounts could be consolidated.

    Isn't this same as https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/124283 ?

    Anyway. Good post, but this offer's been available 'backorder' on their site for atleast a month now (since the above deal). I know as I was on backorder for over 3 weeks then gave up. Picked one up on gumtree.

  • is there much difference from the NEX 3n, obviously the 6 has additional features, but in terms of picture quality is the 6 the better value?

    • Nex-3n is slower than nex-6 for burst shooting, no fast hybrid AF, less focus points (25) compare to 99 on nex-6, etc etc…

      nex-3n used to cost $381 from JB-Hifi, but if you don't want to spend almost 3 times the price of 3n, get the single lens kit instead:

  • Becextech (anyone know about them?) have the Sony Alpha NEX-6L 16.1 MP 16-50mm Black Digital Camera (FREE INSURANCE + 1 YEAR AUSTRALIAN WARRANTY) currently for $624. Seems a very good price. Saw a comment regarding PAL V NTSC (supposedly better). Anyone care to comment?

      Bought one of the nokia n-series phone from them years ago, they seems to be a grey importer, last time I checked the shipping cost is a bit hefty for their products.
      Delivery Charges AU$109.95 Total: AU$733.95

      I would stick to local retailer like JB, video-pro (bought Sony laptop from them) or Teds.

      For PAL vs NTSC as we're using PAL might be better with the nex-6 PAL version, although you'll get 50p instead of 60p in their 1080p recording.

      Though 50p recording takes enormous disk space, like 500MB per minute or something.

      • Thanks. I've had discussions with them and grey imports on top of $109 delivery knocks them out.

  • Bought via this deal for Christmas, have loved using this camera, and all of its lenses in fact. The 16-50 was my simple wide lens, the 55-210 was my video lens, and the 50 was my low light/high aperture portrait/closest of the 3 to macro lens.
    My order said back order initially, but I got a call a week later saying the order was ready for store collection. I got the deal with the bag and memory card (Christmas special)… advertised as including 32gb class 4 card. They gave me a class 10. Great deal, great camera. Just got back from 2 weeks in Tasmania, and loved the quality of the pictures and vid. Now keen to add an extreme wide lens, and a macro to the kit. Aside from what Sony has to offer, I'm keen to check out Sigma's budget priced Art series lenses.

  • Thanks! Just got this price matched at JB but with a lot of haggling. Didn't want to wait for Ted's delivery times. I had to get a 5 year warranty for them to price match but I suspect Ted's wouldn't discount their extended warranty for this deal anyway.

    My Nex-5 is now almost 4 years old and started getting a sticky shutter button about 6 months ago, so a 5 year warranty for $79 was always a no-brainer in my opinion.

  • Does anyone know what the actual waiting time is if you place an order through Ted's? It seems that the Videopro price has gone up to $1,095.60

    • Not sure, when did you order it?

      I think the special has ended with teds and I still think this deal is very good considering the additional lenses.

  • I haven't ordered yet, just looking for the best price with least amount of waiting time! It's still on the Teds website so is available.
