I was really looking forward to getting a FF Nex as a backup/complement for my M9...but I must say that I\'m somewhat disappointed. Don\'t take me wrong - it\'s great that Sony came up with these cameras and at a reasonable price point. I\'m sure the image quality will be very good.
However I\'m disappointed by the form factor. We\'re entering DSLR territory here. A NEX-5 sized camera would be awesome. The A7 form factor with something that looks like a fake pentaprism... not so much. The M9/M240 Leicas are IMO a bit too big - and the A7s are even bigger.
I can definitely see it as a replacement for a Canonikon DSLR. Unfortunately it won\'t for me. I have a Canon 5DII that I use for video and it shoots RAW video.. something the A7 does not... It would have been wonderful if it did - then I could get rid of all my DSLR lenses and gear.. but it doesn\'t.
I\'m sure that the A7:s will be what many people here have been looking for and that\'s great - I\'m looking forward to seeing the photos Unfortunately it doesn\'t look like it will work for me - something that I had hoped
I\'m not sure I\'d call the A7 bigger than the m240. Without the EVF in top, it would be much smaller, but I don\'t think the EVF makes the camera carry bigger than the m240. Plus, the A7 is 200 grams lighter.
