I like the idea of being able to finely adjust the AF right before taking photo. Is there any reason not to keep it on DMF all the time when you are using an AF lens?

Are you using DMF?

Yeah, that's annoying when it has to lock focus first before it'll let you try. Aside from that, though, it has come in handy and it works well.

I don't think that's continuous AF, it's "keep your live view somewhat in focus". You can select Continuous AF somewhere, I think.... But turn it off, and it'll still try to keep the live view from being a complete blur.

Same thing here. Why the hell can't we focus manually when the camera can't focus.
I'm using the DMF with the flexible spot, and often in low light conditions, the NEX won't focus on the area I want it to. It would be really handy if then I could focus manually, but at the moment it's impossible as long as the camera hasn't focussed first, that sucks!
I just hope Sony will fix that in the next firmware update.
That's why I like the AF/MF button on the back of the Sony 7 and higher series cameras. It lets me manually rough focus and then AF-C track. I hope that the NEX 7 has something like that.
Doesn't the NEX lens let you take manual control?

Seems like I read this about every other post. So many little freebie things Sony could have done to make the camera more usable. I wonder if the A55 has this same set-up with focus and other NEX-like firmware surprises.

First of all, firmware isn't free. It needs development, time, testing... And there isn't 1 or 2 things.... Everyone has their own pet ideas. And they all should all be there, at release, for free? At some point, it needs to be finished so people can have at it.
Nex has a pretty good feature list and it's more than just usable. It'll be interesting to see what might be added. Or if Sony will wait for a new model to include upgrades.
What feature did you want again?
