i\'ll agree that the NEX can\'t really match the dof of a 35/1.4 on FF, and this is really the only reason i ever think of getting a FF camera, but you can certainly get just the eyes of a small dog in focus with everything blurred to oblivion with the NEX. i don\'t have any similar examples as i generally prefer my noses to be a bit less blurred than that but here\'s two examples of what is possible with the nex\'s sensor:
were the NEX loses out is when you want to include more of the environment in the portrait while still having a narrow dof. i\'m always tempted to get an a900 just to shoot a c/y 35/1.4 and rokkor 58/1.2 wide open for these types of shots, but i just don\'t think i\'d use it often enough. of course medium or large format is really the way to go if that kind of shooting is your thing...
