I don't blame them. If I came from Nikon and went to a Sony NEX, I'd
be in shock.

I'm surprised that the best thing he could say about it was that the
video was very good.
The clips I've seen from it have been horrible - on slow pans on
landscape (about the only thing it can keep in focus) the interlacing
effect on edges is awful. Worse, they've put put the same deficient
1080i/24 system and sensor in a video camera. Canon do much better
video from dslrs for the next few weeks anyway - the Nikon D3100 is
coming, with 1080p, and hopefully an AF system which works well with
f-mount AF-s lenses in video mode. If it's any good, I'm temporarily
relenting my anti-video position, and will get one to try out for a while.

It's APS, not 4/3, short mount though I gather:
