Thom Hogan review of NEX-7

I'm sorry. I'm not trying to be cheeky, but after really trying to fall in love with my NEX-7 for the last 8 months I finally had the opportunity to shoot the X-E1 today. I won't bore you with all the pros and cons of the respective cameras. Here's what I will share though: When I put the X-E1 images up on a 27" monitor I got the WOW effect I was never able to get with the NEX-7, regardless of which lens I used. That's the bottom line: the pictures look so much better. I know there are a ton of variables, not the least of which is the guy behind the camera. I struggled with the decision myself, believe me. But when I saw the JPEGs right out of the camera, I was completely blown away. It was like a weight had been lifted from my shoulders after months of struggle with the NEX-7. If you can, shoot an X-E1. See what you think.
