Early ISO tests look very good to me - on par with the Mark III and D800Looks interesting. The questions I have in mind are:
Whats the high iso performance?
I would trust Sony's claims.How weather sealed is it really?...(its got lots of little holes on top plate for mic)
Depends on your view of the technology and whether you see the potential benefits for your personal mode of shooting. I do concert, architectural and editorial and I see great benefits for all three types. Others may not...And the big deal maker or breaker- The EVF, is it really worth it to go this route?

What are the options for lenses ? Are there adapters which will let us shoot manual focus, with "legacy glass" as we can with NEX ?
When I look at the instructions on the Leitax site for conversions of C/Y Zeiss lenses, then I think it does not look all that easy. Besides I don't like to take all the original mounts of my Zeiss lenses, although it is reversable. And Leitax conversion costs € 68 for each lens without focus conformation ( about € 50,- extra) and shipping.Excellent choices for manual focus lenses.
Easy mount conversion you can do yourself from leitax.com
I will be converting my Zeiss ZF1/ZF2 glass over to A mount.
Easy to do also you can get used Contax/Zeiss MM lenses which are excellent and convert those also.

For the rest it is only M42 mounts to use on Sony Alpha with a straight adapter. So the choice is actually very limited. The Canon mount has far more possibilitys to use different mounts with regular adapters.
That is why I wait for FF mirrorless, I think.
