[dxqcanada]

I am just going to briefly state these items ... as I don't tend to get much interest here for Sony items (you Canikoners seem to more popular). If you are serious then voice your interest and I will post more details.

For Sale:

Sony SLT-A55 with kit 18-55mm lens = U$250 = SOLD

Sony NEX-5N with kit 18-55mm lens, FDA-EV1S electronic viewfinder, NEX to M39 adapter, and Industar-69 lens = U$400 + shipping

i dont know much about either camera. we had looked at the NEX as well as a bunch of other mirrorless a while back.
just looking at a features comparison
Sony NEX-5N vs SLT-A55 - Our Analysis
it seems that, for me anyway, the NEX 5N has the better options. the a55 has in body stabilization, but the 5N has OSS in the lens, which i think might be better. Overall, it looks like the 5N specs out a bit better with ISO performance, AF points, color, and dynamic range.
the a55 will have an optical VF, built in flash, probably more buttons to make manual shooting easier, and in body stabilization.

I guess it will really depend on what you want/need it to do.
MY pick would be the NEX.

Actually the A55 stabilization is as good as the OSS.
The A55 has faster focusing.
The NEX is great for street shooting and of course adapting legacy lenses (which is what I got it for).
