Tina -- My opinion of the camera may become different once prime lenses become available. I was really put off by the size and weight of the first zoom. As much as I appreciate my a7s, it does feel a bit small in my hand sometimes. The SL with a prime might hit a sweet spot if I choose to justify the price (as I did when buying a Monochrom). I do like Leica's simplification approach to digital photography. I agree with you about the intensity of all the Japanese cameras' menus, not just the Sony. However, I've found that once the camera is set the way I want, it is rarely necessary to change a menu setting. But, yes, setting it up at first can be a challenge. In my brief handling of the SL at PhotoPlus Expo, it definitely has the "it" that makes it a Leica. It was interesting, though, that some of the Leica reps (maybe down toward the M and Q cameras!) were also a bit baffled about this camera. ;) .
