Probably one of the least interesting "upgrades" ever.

I disagree. It is evolutionary, but wifi and apps download is a big deal in an APS-C sensor.

D'oh!
Upgrade? Looks more like a modest refresh so they can bump up the price. Where's the hot shoe?

The biggest plus for me is the hybrid AF which could mean faster auto focus. The negative for me is lack of built-in flash unlike NEX-F3 and Nex-7, which is quite useful in daylight fill-in flash. Therefore I'm still on the fence whether to upgrade from my humble NEX-3 or not.

price is the same. actually, the new control wheel is an improvement. I did not see that initially. For me personally, the other new features are of no interest.

For me, as well. But I can see why other people would be interested. The push is on for cloud computing, and wi-fi capability fits right in.

Yes the control wheel is definitely a big plus too! Once Sony sort out the firmware to best utilize both the new wheel and the old wheel on the back, maybe it will become as convenient as the two wheel control on enthusiast Nikon DSLRs.
