It looks like a sleek little DSLR killer to me. 
Controls look great.

The side photo showing the evf hump surprised me at how well proportioned it looks.
Totally a NEX-7 DSLR.
Sony has kept the brand identity (for better or worse) intact!

might be a stupid question. But all the adapters for the current Nex camera should work right since it's still E-mount. However, it is full frame so, I am not sure?

Same mount, same register, different sensor size.
Yes they will.

I'm also curious about SLR lens performance. I wouldn't be surprised if it actually works BETTER with RF lenses with deep rear elements, vs SLR lenses with them far forward.

The RX-10 gets an aperture ring! Whereas none of the NEX lenses do. And an LCD display on the top, and a better shutter position. Mind-boggling.
So the A7 looks more like an RX-1 in many respects than it looks like an Nex-7.
The RX-10 looks like a tiny SLR.
I really think Sony has each new camera designed by a different group within the company.

Now knowing the zeiss 24-70 is f2.8, not rumored f4, 7r will be my cup of tea

So you wanted the FF-NEX to turn into a mini-dslr ? Then t wouldn't be a NEX camera anymore. Sony already has plenty of DSLR offerings, including FF ones
The FF NEX is an attempt to bring FF to the mirrorless (not counting that SLT stuff) market
RX-10 is meant for the bridge camera market who specifically want DSLR styling and features but that don't want to change lenses. Users of bridge cams have been asking for a larger sensor/higher quality option for ages

Huh...the 24-70 is f/4...you can clearly see it on the lens barrel. And I'm glad, since otherwise it would be huge.

We'll see what's true in a couple hours. If it's a f2.8, that's actually a good price compared to Canikon equivalents though it would be huge in comparison to the body.

I think even Tamron charges more than $1200 for their f2.8 zoom so there is no way Zeiss would have a 24-70 f2.8 for that "little" money

I like the looks of the grip on the A7.... Should be good.

I don't understand the ergonomics of the front dial on the A7. I'm sitting here gripping my RX1, which has a similar grip, and I'm not quite sure how I'd comfortably reach that front dial. Middle finger??

Any news on the battery grip? I thought I saw an earlier report (few days ago) that the A7/r would have an optional battery grip.

The A7 grip sits low, just like the Fotodiox grip I have on my RX1. With that grip, my bottom three fingers support the camera leaving the index finger for the shutter button (and it would also be an easy reach using the index finger for that control dial).
