bah, who cares about zooms especially long ones for such a camera (ok, hint: not me). i find this comparison much more relevant: http://camerasize.com/compact/#487.394,289.383,ha,t
That is the only lens so far that is similar in size. And I'll take f/1.8 + 4 stop IS over f/2.8 on full frame with no IS....but that's just me. I'll give the minor advantage in DOF to the Sony.
The Panny 25/1.4 is significantly smaller than the 55/1.8, and even the slow kit zoom is quite large. Leaked images of the upcoming 85/1.8 mean that lens is going to be pretty darn big too.
I'm not saying the image quality won't be there...it most certainly will be, but this system seems really awesome for adapting rangefinder lenses, and even manual focus SLR lenses. The native lenses, though, are going to be very similar in size to their FF DSLR counterparts, and that makes it very much a non-starter for me as a full system, since I got away from my FF DSLR because I was tired of lugging a bag that weighed a ton. This isn't going to solve that with native lenses.
I still may get one down the line, making it a digital A-E1, but I'm holding off for now.
