I especially appreciate the comparison between the NEX7 and the A77. Not only that the Hi-ISO performance of the A77 is an (expected, regarding the resolution) disappointment. It is now obvious by comparing the same sensor in two different systems of the same manufacturer that the translucent mirror does have an effect on light gathering capabilities that is not to be overseen. I mean, besides the fact that I would always go for the better ISO performing camera even when having to accept a lower resolution, I would simply be annoyed to spend 1000$ more for getting from 85/1.8 to 85/1.4 just to see 75% of the increase in light capture to be absorbed by a device that is otherwise simply flipped out of the way. This is not a problem for daylight photography and therefore is negligible for a large consumer group thats making snapshots on holidays or outdoors in general. But for AL photography, which is very important for me personally, it is.
Outdoors, I'm shooting film since a few month, and it has been tricky at times with few lights to cope with the ISO 50 of the Velvia, so even there I would have had problems with additional light loss. But this is certainly a different story.
