EVF is pretty good

the NEX-FS cams are nice
Fast
cheap and secure for a long time
great pictures via an HDMI feed and

no need for a Beyer-pattern filter to create the image
slow and quick motion is not possible
poor archiving of their paying work
SxS are very expensive
not fast/slow as mentioned before
the playback picture was not as good as I had been expecting
observational documentaries is a pain with those cameras
Slow motion is STILL only 720p for anything over 30p
lack of a nice big range lens-wise is sorely missed
Large sensors are a pain in the butt
missing a trick with no 1080p slow
