Can a A7 owner, whom has some E lenses, please clarify what happens when you use an E lens on your 7 body. I understand it automatically goes into a crop mode with much less MP, is that correct ? Some where someone mentioned being able to turn that function off, if so, can an E lens be used with the crop off ? Iam thinking of a A7 body purchase and wondering about using some of my Nex7 and A6000 lenses.

Yes, you have the choice of 'auto', 'on', or 'off', in the settings. It allows you to turn on the crop to treat the FF lenses as longer effective FL (with reduced resolution) with the cropped image showing in the viewfinder.
As suggested, it also allows you to turn off the crop and show the FF image that crop lenses produce. This image can be cropped appropriately in PP.
I wish it would allow you to specify a crop ratio...my Sony 16/2.8 makes a passable 16mp 1:1 square image.
