I think it is common to bring a new entry level model every year. It's not only cosmetics. The shape of the NEX 3 changed very much and the 5 was changed a little bit. They higher level models has no revision at all yet.
AFAIK cameras are produced in batches to they have to redesigned anyway because the prices of the parts are changing. I know for example that phone displays has more than one display option so the producers can exchange them.
Anyway what is so bad about it. My NEX 5 is still working flawlessly and I see no need to update. Maybe a NEX 5 with Tri Navi and a much better sensor(working better with angular light rays) would be desirable.
