Sony NEX-7 review at Camera Labs

Are you contemplating a Sony NEX-5n, NEX-7 or a Canon 60D? If yes, then check out this NEX-7 review and extensive comparison by Camera Labs:

"The NEX-7 noise crops generally reflect what we saw in the outdoor test crops: the higher resoution 24.3 Megapixel sensor is, as

Sony alpha NEX-7 reviewed at EOD HD

EOS HD is a video oriented site, and as such puts those capabilities of the NEX-7 to the bench. While it may be a very good camera for photography, the video is another story, especially when it gets constantly compared to the GH2 and the 5D mark II.

Ouch:

"The NEX 7 is a real mixed bag. At times it has wowed me with a dynamic range and colour that seemed to be the best on any

Sony NEX-7 Review @ Digital Photography School

I wonder what the market would look like right now if the 2 big natural disasters of 2011 didn't occur. There will be another couple of months until Sony can move these babies at significant numbers.

"Why you’d buy the NEX-7: access to E-mount lenses, Carl Zeiss and (via an adaptor) Sony A-mount optics.
Why you wouldn’t: you prefer external control of exposure modes; with lens attached the camera is not pocketable; pricey.

"For those of you wondering about how the NEX-7 handles high ISOs as compared to the A900, look no further. I’ve made some comps of both RAW and jpeg images, cropped from the center, with no changes other than converting the RAW (using ACR 6.6) to jpeg for posting. I shot the

Stuff-Review has made a nice little chart that pits the newcomer against the almost established crowd. That's all pretty theoretical though, since 3 of the 4 cameras are practically not available in the majority of the western world:

Sony posts interview with NEX-7 designers

"The path we took in NEX-7 design was hardly straight. All we had decided initially was that three dials would be used. This came from a desire to organize setting elements (for shutter speed, exposure, color balance, and so on) with a three-way control system and provide more immediate control and versatility when shooting. It was essentially our only beacon in design. With the trio of dials, and within the general framework of NEX design introduced for the NEX-5, we revisited the question of what DSLR

Sony has really made a big hit with the NEX-7. Too bad about the production delays, oh, and the menu.

"At the risk of repeating myself, I'm going to say it again. The NEX-7 desperately needs user customizable settings. This is a sophisticated and complex camera, with a wide variety of special modes and settings. Switching between them, in part because of the poorly designed menus, is a frustrating process that is time consuming and requires a lot of

Sony Alpha NEX-7 Review @ DCR

Here's another one from the mount of "more cameras than lenses"
"The NEX-7's new Exmor APS-C HD CMOS sensor is the same physical size as that in the earlier cameras, but receives a healthy boost in resolution to 24.3 megapixels from just over 14 (the new NEX-3C and NEX-5N are up to 16 megapixels). That sensor produces a 1.5x crop factor in 35mm equivalents and is paired with Sony's latest generation BIONZ image

Sony NEX-7 review @ Dpreview.com

E-system. the only mount in the world with more cameras than native lenses :) Too bad, since this camera is among the very best digital cameras produced, ever. From the review:

"When the NEX-7 was first announced, it looked as though Sony had gathered together a set of enthusiasts' wish lists
