I don't have any pictures yet that will make someone think they have to have this camera, but I too just received mine yesterday, and overall I like it very much over the NEX-6.
The menu layout is much better, and I like the scrolling ribbon UI when the exposure parameters are changed. Not sure what I think of the dual wheels, and placement of, yet. Seems that those that brought it up were right: the 'function' wheel probably should have been to the inside of the mode dial, but that's a nit.
Other nits: I think I'd rather have the histogram over live view than the zebra highlighting, but I suspect I'll come to like zebra as well or better in the future. Also, the new body is glossy, vs. the textured body of the NEX. It is noticeable under your fingertips when gripping the body - I think the texturing made gripping it feel a little more secure - wish they had kept some sort of texture on the body.
EVF is MUCH better than I had been led to believe, hands-down prefer it to the nex-6. You can make out the pixels in the EVF, but, the performance is so much better that it isn't worth talking about the resolution.
The SEL24 seems to like it very much, but I haven't had a chance to do my own comparisons between the two bodies as far as DR, native exposure and noise and such.
