Personally, I was referencing the Sony images from the A77 made available for download as high res files (same sensor as the NEX7) ... I found them lacking and the high ISO deplorable ... even the ISO 200 images had artifacts, noise and blobs in the sky ... so I said I would be in the "wait and see camp".Compared to what? Looking with your bare eyes? An optical DSLR? Sure, fine, whatever. Stick with an optical dslr if you want, or a rangefinder.
The idea that the EVF "sucks" on the NEX-7 is pure, unadulterated nonsense. Unless Sony is totally lying, the EVF is the best EVF that has shipped on digital camera ever.
Since the EVF on the Panasonic GH series is quite fine, there is zero chance the EVF on these new sony's "sucks" by comparison.
So, obviously, it is impossible for the EVF to suck compared to the EVF on the NEX-5, right? and the EVF for the NEX-5N is the same one, so it can't suck by comparison to that.
Nonsense.
The reason people spread this kind of bullshit is to dissuade potential customers from buying these products.
I also have owned and used an A55 which I did not like because of the EVF and associated lag ... so while not against it since I bought one, I do not think it is there to the extent that it can compete with a normal optical finder for my applications ... a caveat which I've always added to any opinion. I will wait until I can actually try the NEX7 before buying one. I'm sure it is the best to date. That best still may not be good enough for a lot of people ... but if it's fine for you, knock yourself out.
Since I do not make a nickel for any opinion good or bad ... whether anyone buys or doesn't buy something because of what I have said is of little consequence to me. Buy it, don't buy it ... I could not care less.
