The Sony Nex-7!!! Holy Crap! It just got better! (and more expensive!)

Recently, Sony unveiled it's newest EVIL (Elecronic Viewfinder Interchangeable Lens!) camera that buries into the ground most of what the critics hate about the nex series of cameras!

Picture is from the Engadget site!  Article link at the end of the post!

The Nex-7 is the big brother of the Nex3, Nex 5, Nex-3n and also the recently introduced Nex-5n.  I mean literally, THE Big brother!  A quick view would show that the Nex-7 has a bigger form factor than the rest of the old Nex cameras... but that has purpose and boy does it ever have a purpose!

The Nex-7 comes with a built in flash! Yep! built-in!  No screwing around with an attachable flash.  This one pops out from the body (see why it's bigger?).  Plus!!! Aside from the 3++ inches of LCD screen, you get a built in Electronic Viewfinder!!! (Now are you seeing why it's a teensy bit bigger???).  But Sony didn't stop there!  It added 2 new scroll wheels on top which can be a dedicated control wheel for whatever function you want (I think you configure it thru the settings menu) like ISO, shutter speed, etc...

Those mentioned above were just the thing that critics were bitchin about the old nex series but here Sony gave almost everything a full fledged DSLR to this baby... it's still smaller than a DSLR but with almost all the bells and whistles!  And nothing about the micro 4/3rds crap here... this baby (like all nex cameras) sport a full fledged DSLR sensor. Ain't it cool!!!

As much as I am drooling over this baby... this baby comes with a price... a very steep one... but one that may be a deal breaker for most... the price tag is over 1000 USD.  Yep! at that price, you can certainly buy a decent DSLR... but If I have money to burn, I'll do arson for this baby...
