Once you add a big lens to the NEX camera the overall package is little different from a small Canon or Nikon DSLR and the portability aspect and compact size are negated while you still have the drawbacks of a camera without a viewfinder and instead of poor autofocus you go to having no autofocus - yup makes sense to me.
My NEX 7 with my FD 24/2.8 is as small as if not smaller than the Sony/Zeiss24 @ 1/8th the $.
If I need small I could always get the SEL16 or use my RF lenses.
What's autofocus?

+1...at least for right now. Until further sensor advances/ implementations, this seems to be the current reality for the NEX system. Small, wide rangefinder lenses seem to bring with them all sorts of issues - particularly with the NEX 7 - and larger SLR wides sort of negate one of the main reasons for going with the NEX to begin with. That's not even considering that the very best wide SLR lenses are handicapped by the 1.5 crop factor.
