Although I bit on a mirrorless camera myself, I perfectly understand why 
several bloggers have suggested that it is less expensive to buy a lower end 
DSLR, that will produce better IQ. If I were not invested in legacy lenses, 
I would seriously consider one of the less expensive Sonys.

I'm completely with you, Alan.

I'm trying to imagine using this camera with one of the great-vast EOS 
lenses attached and held at arms length. REALLY?

The NEX-7 I use has virtually the same form-factor. NOT the same high-ISO 
performance I'll grant you that, but the only time I find myself using it 
without the EVF is when it's on a tripod.

I just don't see what's to be all that excited about this camera. It's about 
8 months late to market, at least, and it gives us many features that the 
lowly Rebel has.

Probably I'm completely wrong and it'll be a huge hit. But not for me.

Adam
