While a big accessory announcement would have been nice, I am very satisfied by the actions and language coming out of Photokina. The firmware changes detailed by Imaging Resource and the AF were huge. In addition, there are enough lenses in the pipeline (for me), the appearance of both a Zeiss branded and G branded lens were important and ticked that box and then the openess as regards to the lens mount to me signifies a different Sony.That would be great, Terry. I think the best thing about Photokina, in terms of NEX, is how Sony seems ready to push this mount into the hands of everyone, and they aren't displaying they're usual proprietary nature. I was really hoping for a big accessory announcement at Photokina, but at least the news about the future is positive.
IMO, NEX-5/3 have one thing different from traditional SLRs, They are a single board device (single PCB and mounted devices inside, as long as they can manage that we will see a built in EVF, if not it will be an add-on. Did you see the flash extender that comes with 18-200, so that there is no shadow in flash pics?I think - just a prediction....in early 2011 we will another body style with an EVF built in. We know they have one from the A33/55.
Not a single board device like the Panasonic G1.IMO, NEX-5/3 have one thing different from traditional SLRs, They are a single board device (single PCB and mounted devices inside, as long as they can manage that we will see a built in EVF, if not it will be an add-on.

Hope Sony sends you a new NEX (single board, not a lot of electronics can be fixed

If I had an NEX, I would now be happy
No EVF for the existing NEX', yet and there are rumors about a full frame possibility. At least, Fuji have shown a mock up X100.....Interesting report here with more details including the fact that the NEX has been designed to be able to use a full frame sensor (but not with the NEX lenses) See this article:
