Why I've decided not to get the NEX-7.

I really wanted the NEX-7 because of it's size.
I decided that the below list was to much of a trade off for size.

I do believe that mirror less interchangeable lens cameras are the future and that perhaps in five years will be the most popular cameras, replacing todays DSLRs.
However the future is not here yet.
