I got the NEX 7 last night from Sony to review in the next few days and my initial impressions on it are pretty positive: Build is pretty tough and solid, it feels well in your hands, the recessed portion where your hands would typically fall on when holding the camera feels a bit more firm and secure compared to previous NEX bodies. Also the addition of multipurpose function buttons are a welcome treat as with the previous NEX, there are times you would need to dive into the menu system and initiate several button presses before you can get to your desired settings. The built-in EVF helps those who are used to viewfinders and rangefinder type cameras while being a fully featured mini live view, the viewfinder is also an excellent alternative in case the sun is too bright so see the LCD panel on the back as what you can normally see on the back LCD is available on the EVF. Another welcome addition is the presence of a built-in flash and a dedicated flash hotshoe for more flash options.
As an initial impression, the NEX 7 offers tons more than what the previous NEX bodies had to offer, we'll see though if it's something that can match up to Sony's current Semi-Pro/Advanced Hobbyist SLT, the A77. More information, impressions, facts, samples and comparisons in the next few days, stay tuned!
