I like a lot of things about the NEX cameras, and this looks like a nice offering, but every time I've played with one in the store (NEX6 yesterday), I'm struck by how much faster the AF on my E-PL5 is. Until the NEX AF is at east equally fast, I don't see it as an option.

The store's display model NEX-6 would certainly not have the hybrid PDAF firmware installed yet; they leave that for the customers to do. So that was the first thing I did on my new NEX-5R, (identical firmware to the 6.) The AF speed of these two models now equals that of the E-PL5, according to reviews. The same would not apply to the new cheaper NEX-3N, which is said not to have PDAF.
