What do you mean? The NEX-7 is one serious camera. Dpreviews conclusion was in 2011: "It's no stretch to say that, at its best, the NEX-7 offers the finest still image quality of any APS-C camera, bar none". Sony's been delivering, albeit more slowly than some would like, lenses for the system, and 4 of them are Zeiss. Sigma makes two that are excellent for the money, according to reports. For all intents and purposes, it's a mirrorless APS-C DSLR replacement.
