This uses the newest micro 4/3 sensor from the omd-5 which is very good, but it is not quite as large as the aps-c sensor in the NEX cameras so it does not have quite as deep depth of field or as low...

In my opinion, this is a great price for recently released camera that is already getting very good reviews. Consider that for the price you are getting a pretty complete lens package...

it's just the control and features. the upper end model (say NEX 7) has more dials, better customization, better body material, and more features over all... that's all, sensor wise, the higher end...

The Micro 4/3 sensor is half the size of a 35mm film camera sensor. The Sony Nex cameras use an APS-C sized sensor, which is the same size as that found in D-SLRs. Thus, the APS-C sensors will have...

It's still much smaller and lighter than a dslr and you don't always have to use the evf. Pop a prime lens on it and it fits in your coat pocket.

My Nex 5 is actually "about" the same size as my A330, and the new A37 (on my way to me) is actually quite small (might be even smaller than my A330). and this PL5 isn't any smaller than my NEX5. but...

Sony's lenses are too big, for their focal lengths(or just too big for their bodies). Sony is also disreputable company. Search "Sony Rootkit". If Sony ever gets a foothold, they will price gouge...
