Yes Sony cameras are great cameras, although some Canikon guys would have you believe otherwise.

The A7 looks like a great camera, unfortunately it will probably too expensive for my budget.

I myself are planning on upgrading my A37 to a A77 end November.

In terms of sensor, yes, the A7 looks pretty good. Just keep in mind that the A7 is not a direct full-frame DSLR competitor --- it really is more like a full-frame NEX.

If you stick to using one or two primes, then you will get the benefit of the smaller (and lighter) camera, but the autofocus system is not quite geared towards action photography, so it is a bit of a niche tool.

Still, it is good to see some strong competition from Sony.
