With manual focus lenses, unless you're happy with their current lens
choices. Step in the right direction though.

Also, is that 7fps or 2.7?

... and yet another incompatible lens mount - crazy!

There's a 4/3 standard - stick to it!

Yes, but it's not brass or steel...

Sony has a large surplus capacity to produce APS-C sized sensors and,
given the extremely slow sales of Sony Alpha DSLRs, this new NEX range
will soak up some of that surplus.

Sony might hope that the NEX range will not impact greatly on sales of
Alpha DSLRs, however it is almost certain that the exact opposite will
be the case. Certainly in Japan, where Micro Four Thirds sales have
been very much at the expense of the sales of Four Thirds DSLRs..

There is of course a stark contrast between the very large investment
that Sony has clearly poured in to the NEX range, and the comparative
lack of recent investment by Sony in the Alpha DSLR range.

We have already seen Fujifilm, Panasonic and Samsung abandoning their
DSLR ranges in favour of high quality mirrorless cameras. My
prediction is that Sony will soon follow suit.

This is the beginning of the end for Alpha DSLRs.
