I really only had two complaints about the initial NEX lineup - no  
practical way to trigger off-camera flash, and poor performance with  
wide-angle RF lenses.  Everybody thought the NEX-7 would address both of  
these issues, but as it turned out, the 7 addressed only one and the 5n  
addressed the other.  That frustrated me (and I'm sure many others), and  
led us to say "well, let's see what Fuji and Ricoh come up with."

So that's where I'm at, still waiting for that one digital solution to  
replace both my NEX-3 and my Nikon DSLR (since I'll never have the  
discipline to save for an M9).
