Nice camera, great handling ( I of course am extremely comfortable navigating Sony menus ) If purchasing I would have added the vertical grip to increase grab for my medium sized hands. I also owned a NEX 6 (aps-c) and used it with LA EA2 adapter which allowed used of my huge Maxxum glass kit. Made up the mind to go full frame ruled out the A7 series because I would be unable to invest in E mount glass and the camera does not have the usual Sony SSS built in so the A mount glass with adapter, whilst producing fantastic images has no image stabilization.......I also considered the A99 and the A900 (love that one) but ultimately it was the Nikon AF that won me over. It is simply intoxicating IHMO. Thus I sold off a huge bunch of my Sony/ Maxxum A mount gear and all my NEX gear to fund the switch which is nearly complete. I will add a pair of flash guns a as yet unknown brand 70-200 f2.8 AF and a Nikon 28 Ai MF and be done for now. I am certain a nice kit of A7/A7r with a good selection of glass would be fun but to do it right it is also out of my price range.....and nothing AF like a pro range Nikon. Sony has quite a bit of work to do to catch up/match Nikon AF system.</blockquote>
