The Sony NEX-7 is an enthusiast-oriented mirrorless interchangeable lens camera that manages to squeeze vast amounts of the SLT-A77's capabilities into a body barely bigger than the lower-end NEX models. It packs a 24MP APS-C CMOS sensor and 2.4M dot OLED electronic viewfinder into its magnesium alloy body and yet still finds room for a pop-up flash and hot shoe.

The NEX-7 packs an awful lot of features into its small body, including an excellent 24MP APS-C sensor and large high resolution electronic viewfinder. Its three dial interface and extensive customizability makes for excellent handling, although its default setup leaves something to be desired. The biggest drawback (at launch) is the relatively undeveloped system, and lack of top-quality E-mount lenses to get the most out of it.
Good for: Enthusiasts looking for a small-bodied camera with exceptional image quality for both stills and video
Not so good for: Less-experienced users, or anyone looking to build an extensive system around the camera
