Well I have been following the Sony A7/A7R leaks hard recently and have really lusted after the A7. It would take a lot of cash just to get me into just a 2 lens setup. It got me to thinking what am I really missing from my current Samsung setup. I currently own the NX210, 18-55, 12-24 and 50-200. Here is what I came up...

  1. I would like faster glass preferably something with a constant aperture. Some reasonably priced f4 zooms would be nice if 2.8's aren't an option.
  2. Some fast primes would be a treat and something a 300mm focal length would be cool
  3. Weather sealed lenses and bodies. This is just a nice to have.
  4. A professionally styled & implemented menu system. What the have now is pretty solid but I dislike the goofy animations when changing a dial. I will say Samsung is better than most with the interface.
  5. Refined controls/buttons.
  6. Refine body design to improve the feel of the grip.
  7. An articulated touchscreen display is a must have.
  8. A high quality EVF with bonus points for it being tilt-able.
  9. Have best in class sensor. Right now I would like some more dynamic range and much better hi ISO performance.

Rant over. What do you guys miss?

10. Smart flash system for smart mobile app controlled studio work

11. Improved wifi remote control (full manual control, timer, raw handling...)
