Since the announcement last summer, the Sony NEX-7 has continued to grab attention. Not only for being the strongest bid without mirror system from Sony, with performance and features that clearly put at the top of the CSC, but subsequent delays in production and arrival at the windows.
While other manufacturers have been showing their cards, but Sony had advanced on the play. A real beast of camera we found when it was announced and after hearing the first impressions that we said Mauro A. Sources, we could sink my teeth into. Well, more praised check your benefits at the same time look for its flaws.
Sony NEX-7: reduced size without sacrificing the viewfinder or APS – C sensor
Previous models of the Sony NEX showed us the process of miniaturization by the Japanese manufacturer had posted. Closer in size to any compact but without giving it its true cutting edge: the most technologically advanced sensors market.
Thus, all models have been bragging about quality results, together with the compact size is valued both as a plus for those looking for a second security camera to carry around, as the user who does not dare (or not want to) make the leap to a DSLR.
The Sony NEX-7 is this same premise. One size really polite, although in this case somewhat less pronounced and a CMOS sensor APS-C size 24 megapixel, no less, becoming an object of desire even further by the inclusion in the body of a longed viewfinder. And here once again shows that Sony is not 
necessary to increase over the size of a free mirror to embed a viewer, which is very demanding among the more advanced users, but probably necessary for the claims that the NEX-7 arise. With these features, any demanding photographer, professional or not, you can find as many items as paying enough attention.
The other benefits are well known, combines the latest technology from Sony that each day has demonstrated his great ambition, but also confirming its technological prowess, offering cameras that increasingly compete in all segments. The CSC is the least and the NEX-7, as already demonstrated the NEX-5n, has high enough features to consider today the most advanced of the current mirror less (with permission from the Fuji film X-Pro1 or Olympus OM-D E-M5).
The sensor is a big claim, but so is the integration of the viewfinder. An LED display built into the top left of the body (perhaps not the most ideal, but neither has more importance) that incorporates a diopter adjustment dial to and a proximity sensor. Solution that disables the rear screen when approaching the eye to the viewfinder, where you can get great information for the shot. Although care must be taken when we took the camera around his neck because the body by contact with activated and can be somewhat cumbersome (especially for the battery consumption).
The electronic viewfinder takes some adjustment, especially for anyone used to the usual SLR optical viewfinder, but his behavior, soft and quality is unquestionable. Of course, despite having a notable resolution of 2.4 megapixels, we must recognize that there is still a long way to improve the electronic viewfinders in general. But built into the Sony NEX-7 does its job too well.
Design and Controls
Despite its compact size, although slightly higher than their younger sisters NEX range, it is still really comfortable, with good ergonomics and provides an adequate grip. Its design, away from the more traditional line (by betting Fuji film and Olympus among others), may not please purists and fetishists of 
cameras that offer more sensations (nostalgic) at first sight, although I recognize that appearance is not I wake up emotion, but the fact of maintaining a small size and lightweight is a big factor in favor.
It remains an easily portable camera that does not tire around his neck or hands, when it has long been over.
Design should also emphasize its 3-inch rear screen and a resolution of 921,000 dots (format 16:9), which is also rocking. Good image quality even though we have noticed that it gets dirty with particular ease, unless evil that is not touch, otherwise the finish is not suitable. Besides, stand the two control wheels on the top right. No recorded information, plain, black and somewhat sensitive, are Sony’s bid to have on hand two essential controls.
Although it would have been nice if they were much more Pesonalizables (like the rest of options and buttons), not difficult to adapt to them and drive the practice is very agile. This surprised me despite some initial reluctance.
I can not say the same menus and options that we are. Navigating the interface is a real hell, much as the colorful menus and graphics we are pleasant to the eye. It makes little sense to maintain this legacy of design menus and other advanced compact NEX-7 brand for a camera with higher claims. An advanced user or used to control more practical even in the most basic reflex in for a real nuisance and learning process for getting about the options offered by the screen. Here is the patience and a thorough reading of the instructions are the only weapons to contrarrestrarlo.
Although clearly not a very common option for performance (just to save some situations), the fact that his return to space after power it gives a sense of disgust and extremely fragile. After some testing I decided to use it again and I think will be the general feeling of the user of the NEX-7. Good thing to have a shoe to incorporate a flash in.
