Well the NEXs are very compact and relatively lightweight, which is a big 
plus. If Sony are serious about competing with Nikon and Canon they will 
have to introduce a new lne of lenses.

I'm sure that I'm not the only one on this list who is disenchanted with 
the size and handling of modern top of the line SLRs. I dread taking out 
my D800E/24-70 zoom for casual picture taking; back in Leica R days I did 
not think twice before slinging an R7 over my shoulder.
