Sony NEX-7 review
All the usual NEX traits: outstanding image and video quality, lethargic autofocus, iffy focus from the kit lens.

Sony Alpha NEX-7
With a lot to like and just a little to dislike, the Sony Alpha NEX-7 comes up a winner, albeit an expensive one.
Pros:
- The Sony Alpha NEX-7 delivers excellent raw photo and solid video quality in a package that's beautifully and functionally designed
- yet relatively compact.
Cons:
- As with many competing products
- the camera's JPEG algorithms need some optimization
- some aspects of operation feel a little laggy
- and it's missing some useful features

Sony Alpha NEX-7
The 24-megapixel APS-C sensor inside Sony's NEX-7 produced the best stills and videos of the compact system cameras we tested this summer (2012), with details that held up even when we zoomed all the way in.
Pros:
- One of the most customizable models on the market.
Cons:
- Software menu is a bit of a dog's breakfast
- Flimsy pop-up flash.

A little gem
I bought it because of the high resolution and its adaptors for my legacy film lenses. Pics from Contax 70mm Sonnar, Yashica 50 prime and Yashica 55 macro are as sharp and clear as I ever got on film.

Pros:
- You require a compact but sophisticated
- large-sensor interchangeable-lens camera with PASM shooting modes plus support for raw file capture and Full HD video recording
- You want an optical viewfinder and built-in flash
- You require quicker access to key camera settings than most mirrorless cameras
Cons:
- You require a pocketable camera (it's only pocketable without a lens)
- You're a point-and-press snapshooter
