Nice review, Dpreview is improving lately, it seems. I think their "real underexposed" scene to highlight high iso noise is interesting and it was nice to note the actual difference with the NEX-7. At the NEX-7 level and the fact that DR seems to remain quite high, it seems to me these 24 mpixel aren't such a big issue after all?

Maybe Sony is giving NEX much more focus. The NEX-7 is selling much better than the A-77, so the priority could be better midrange lenses and pancakes. The 50 mm is a good start. Maybe three lens lines: quality, pancake and small zooms. Maybe later faster zooms. Quality means fixed lenses with very good optical properties with the size of the zoom kit. The price should be around 300 to 800 euros. Pancakes should much smaller, like the 16 mm. The optical flaws could be fixed by software. The zooms should be also not so large, maybe power zooms. 3-5 lenses in every lineup should be enough for a start. Later maybe fast high end lenses
Sorry for hijacking this thread but I think the A-77 will be the turning point for Sony to the Nex. Not that the SLTs will not find their markets but this markets will shrink because the AF of the NEX will be getting much better in some years. Nex is the market where Sony can grow much faster.
