Their optics seem quite good (bar the zoom), but look to be standard SLR 
style design which is why M lenses are not doing too well. I don't think 
anybody will say that they introduced too many good quality NEX lenses....

But then you are buying a small AF camera with FF ability...... Batteries 
seem to last about 1/2 the time of an M9 (couple of hundred shots) and the 
camera does not come with a charger, just an adapter to charge in-camera 
which takes several hours!
