Dear all c hings, should I buy nex C3 or 5N?

I can buy C3 from internet (chxxpHK) at $4570 for double kit set hong good. For 5N, it is now above $7xxx for double kit! C3 seems really cheap and a good bargain. But I know 5N has better image quality. I don't care much about the HD movie or touch mon. Does any c hing have experiences or reason or suggestion for me to make reference? Is the difference in image quality really worth the $2000 difference in money? Will I regret one day if i buy C3 now?

I beg and look forward to kind suggestions from all c hings.

Buy jor C3 la! I am enjoying it very much. There is difference of amost $3000 between c3 and 5n ( double kit set). 5n is really too expensive! Also, nex 7 is coming, i think 5n price will come down soon. So i decided to buy c3 now and may change to nex 7 one day.

Btw. C3 quality and performance is more than my expectation. Its small size,combined with the pancake lens, is very handy and I can take self-shooting photo with one hand holding my baby and one hand holding camera. The 16mm f2.8 lens is quite amazing. It can give very sharp photo in an arm's length.

Faster focus speed
Magnesium alloy body
Touch screen (mainly for selecting AF point)
Support external EVF

Wow...there are 2k price difference right now?

C3 is also 16MP sensor. C3 and 5N seem using the same sensor, but with different setting.
