any m4/3 vs nex reviews around?

Yep, Nex5 in silver. 1.5x crop is sweet. It's like a tiny RD1, in a way, with more megapixels...although giving up the EVF was difficult, it was overall a good trade.
 
I had a play with my friends nex 5 - build was nice, looked nice, and very good IQ from the sensor. However, lens was average (16mm and kit lens) and the user interface was very dumbed down.

2c.
 
The 18-55 is actually quite nice, exc. bokeh. It has a bit of barrel distortion. I don't have the 16mm. Considering the price, they are very good.

I only use the interface in A mode, which is all that is necessary for me, perfectly dumbed down. :)
 
I have the NEX-5, don't find it dumbed down, the only really difference is that the mode dial is on the screen, not on the top plate. No biggie.
I use it with a Nokton, and the quality is awesome. I also have the 16mm, the quality is, well, meh, particularly wide open, it's actually quite soft.
I sometimes think I want a G1 or G2, as the EVF is so good, but it's the crop factor that always put me off.
Before the NEX, I had the GF1 with the 20mm, I miss the lens, but not the camera.

I'd rather have an EVF and the ability to use cine lenses with less vignetting.

The crop factor difference in 20%, and whether that Summicron gives you 80mm or 100mm equivalent field of view is no big deal IMHO.
