--- title: Sony NEX-3N date: 2014-03-31 09:00:48 permalink: https://lesterchan.net/blog/2014/03/31/sony-nex-3n/ author: Lester Chan categories: - Camera tags: - Amazon - digital camera - HopShopGo - NEX-3N - Sony --- Bought the [Sony NEX-3N](http://www.sony.com.sg/product/nex-3nl) from [Amazon](http://www.amazon.com/Sony-NEX-3NL-Compact-Interchangeable-Digital/dp/B00BF9MUBM/) when they have a lightning deal on the 13th January 2014 and hence it cost only US$289.99 (S$370)! [HopShopGo](http://www.hopshopgo.com) received the package on the 18th January 2014 with a chargeable weight of 3KG, but HopShopGo offers a [repack option](http://www.hopshopgo.com/hopshopgo/service-support-repack.do) for a slight fee and hence it cuts down the chargeable weight to just 1KG! So shipping just cost me US$20.32 (S$26). I am a [HopShopGo Prime Member](http://www.hopshopgo.com/hopshopgo/service-supportprime-program.do), so your discount may varies! Repack took three working days and hence it got shipped out from HopShopGo on the 23rd January 2014 and I received it on the 27th January 2014 via DHL. In total, I paid just **US$310.31 (S$396)** for the Sony NEX-3N while Singapore is selling it for S$749! I just saved S$353. Do note that if your purchase amount is more than [S$400 (including shipping)](http://www.customs.gov.sg/leftNav/trad/cle/Internet+PurchasesPostal+Parcels.htm), it is subjected to 7% tax in Singapore. You can use the [Singapore Customs Currency Conversion](http://appm4.internet.gov.sg/scripts/customs/exc/exrate.asp) to check the exchange rates the customs are using. The Sony NEX-3N will be replacing my 4 years old [Canon PowerShot S95](https://lesterchan.net/blog/2010/09/26/canon-powershot-s95/). I will probably get the [Sony E30mm F3.5 Macro Lens](http://www.sony.com.sg/product/sel30m35) from [Cathay Photo](http://www.cathayphoto.com.sg/) so that I can take product/gadgets shots with it. The retail price is S$399 but Cathay Photo is selling it for S$345 if you are paying by cash! ## About Sony NEX-3N Sony NEX-3N is the perfect camera for expressing your style.
