Everyone who finds the layout ugly.......please, examples of beautiful cameras after Contax 2a.
I'm so friggen shocked they have kept it small and reworked the sensor for short flange, i forgot to be picky about the style. Need some benchmarks

NEX-7
it just works for me, clean and simple.

I still want one of these:

But not so much with this motor drive, though it can do 14fps.

Or an EF in black.

I'm finding this rather attractive lately:

Though we all have to keep in mind that this is all subjective, and we still don't have an actual picture of the A7(r).

lol, looks like they pasted the shutter release from the OM-D EM-5 on. The pentaprism hump probably is from that camera as well? I'd hate for it to look like this, TBH. I'd probably cover that red lens mount with black electrical tape too.

If it comes out darn urgly I'll cover it with some large lenses though I would prefer it to make the Contax G's proudly reappear as FF stars.

These are SLR ones. Pointless with optimized sensor, especially at wide end.

This is a VERY bad mockup. The hump is E-M5, the shutter release E-M1, the mode dial is not even pasted on at the right angle, and the shutter release is much blurrier than the grip both in front and behind it.
I cannot imagine why four dials would be a good thing. Two or three is optimal, four would be comical. At the very least, put it on the left end (when held), where moving the EVF has made some space.

I have one of these black beauties on the shelf right now. The suspect the EVF hump on the Sony A7(r) will look more like this, somewhat squat compared to what everyone is showing. I like this look a lot, though ultimately what the camera looks like will not make one iota whether I buy one or not.

Yes, it's not accurate either. There is no tri-nav on the top, the control dial on the grip will be much different (just a wheel sticking out of the grip, just like most incarnations are) and so on.

Widely regarded as a fake, I think the writing is on a different plane than the mount which screams Photoshop to me.

It's too cheap in fact. The smallest, lightest 36MP FF camera is priced at $2200? I hope they didn't cut too many corners to get there.

Good point. But maybe Sony is hoping to make it up via large scale adoption. Or maybe they simply realized that the world economy has gone to hell, and that people can't afford overpriced gear any longer.

I certainly want them to be successful. They would then put more thought into the design or even release FW on timely manner when needed. This ain't the gaming console segment where they can sell the machine at loss or low profit margin to bank on the sale of accessories. The NEX system is too immature for that kind of strategy. We shall see in a month (availability two weeks after announcement?).

Haha, Ty for images of beautiful cameras. Compared to every digital FF camera except Leica, i think any pre-AF SLR is good looking--as the OMD tries to capture.
The nikon SP I think was a bit cuter than the Leica Ms.
Nex-7 decent looks ruined by non-magnesium body. The Nex-5 is fine, but really silly with silver EVF attached-- and of course very clunky in that configuration.

I'm with wfrank It's the glass
2200 is OK for A7r, but interesting a kit was not mentioned. Only for A7---does that mean the zoom is not great on the 36mp?

Yup. The 36MP is going to be very picky when it comes to glass. But it will be worth it.

Relax. In the central 2/3 of the image it will be a little less picky than a Nex 6 and much less picky than a Nex 7, since pixel density is about equivalent to a 15mp APS-C camera.
