The looks neither thrill me nor bother me (its a CAMERA!). In many ways I thought it was a great camera. If there had been more and better lenses it might have replaced m43 as my primary system, although I think the lenses will necessarily always be too large at the long end. I was psyched about the Zeiss 24, but the X100 came to market first and is a nice size and now that the Zeiss looks like its only a couple or few months away, its much bigger than I expected - looks notably bigger than the kit zoom, although I guess I can't be sure of that until I see one in person. So I sold it and may or may not take another look at it in another couple of years when its had time to mature. I don't really sense much Nex hate here. Sure, some people think its ugly, but that's a subjective thing - many people probably think any camera is gonna be ugly. To me its about how it works and shoots and what kinds of features it brings to the table that might make it easier for me to get the shot I'm after. By that standard I liked the Nex a lot and I suspect I'd like the Nex 7 even more.-Ray</blockquote>
