Sony sent him the final firmware version of Nex 7 to review. This is just initial impression with some samples shots. His full review will be in 2 weeks.

He seems very pleased that it was hand delivered.

Sounds like a great camera, I'm looking forward to trying one out.

It's early going but I wasn't terribly impressed with the picture of the tree he posted at 100%. It didn't look that much smoother or more detailed than the EP3, which I found very surprising. The Fuji x100 looked best to my eye!

However, I will certainly reserve judgement. I really hope Sony hit one out of the ballpark here - and that they ship the camera on time and in sufficient quantity!

I really like the look of the camera ... it's functional and stylish.

The Sony image looked superior to me, particularly the color.

I think the important thing here is if he's got it other well known reviewers will also get it. What I would love to see is some one do a shot out. Leica 24mm lens on m9 and gxr plus nex 7 with this Zeiss 24 f1.8 lens 🙂

I like the layout of this camera. Looks good to me in terms of style too.

Only time will tell if Sony hit one out of the park.

Did he hint at the existence of new "smaller" lenses?

well I have one pre ordered along with an a77. I have been looking to download the owners manual but I can't locate one. I did download the manual for the a77. I am excited by the looks of it it can be shot in manual easy. The biggest draw back to me with all the other micro offerings.
I am sure with Sonys reputation the IQ will be nice.

I like the body but the lenses seem overly large, I will have to see it my hands. I did not see a lot of differences in the posted photos. Looks very good so far. I'll hold off till I see what Fuji has to offer next.
