Luminous Landscape is doing a rolling review of the Sony NEX-7 . So far they've covered the user interface and high iso capabilities of the NEX-7. The fourth installment of the review is perfect for gearheads. The NEX-7 is shown with most of the E-mount lenses and the LA-EA2 lens adapter. The camera is also shown alongside the NEX-5N with viewfinder, the Fuji X100, the Leica M9 with a 50mm Summilux, and the Panasonic GH2. The video gives us a good idea of the size of each camera and lens. Grab a glass of wine, dim the lights, and play the video in full screen - get ready for 12 minutes of gear lust. NEX-7 and the X100 Side by Side Thanks Luminous Landscape! Make sure to follow the rolling review in the link above.
