I am fine with it, I could even do 18 megapixels, or the original a7 series battery. I have other preferences like a higher res s sensor, a joystick or more buttons, but like Sebboh said, I’m not expecting this to be a pro camera and won’t hold it to that level.
The price and the size and ergo compromises I am fine with. The only thing that really blows is how bad that EVF is. I would have pre-ordered if it was even at the original a 7x series, or like an RX1r2 but fixed.
I am in complete agreement. I too have other preferences. My ideal camera would have the smaller battery of the A7 cameras, a bigger viewfinder (3.69M dots would be what I would like and .75X magnification), the joystick added back, and a 42MP sensor. I don't care about 1 card (that is fine with me), and I never used all the programmable buttons anyway.
Nevertheless, I wanted a smaller camera (and about 500g is a good size to me) and thought I would never get one, so I am happy about this offering. I am disappointed the viewfinder has so little magnification and as Jman13 has said, I would even want the camera to be a little bigger to allow that, but I have a strong preference for this form factor at least for some of my shooting. I will probably have a bigger camera as well when I don't care about size (for me shooting longer than 135mm focal lengths).
If I really don't like the viewfinder, then I won't get it, but as long as I can live with it, which I suspect I will be able to, then I will am likely to pick up this camera at some point. I won't preorder either--I always like to get the camera in my hand before I buy--but I don't expect to wait too long either.
