I am gathering that all the issues with the blurred images are a7r only because of the double clicking shutter but not a problem with the a7.
The shutter sound and being to loud or annoying is relative, to me its not that loud its not that much louder than the D7100 unless you need to shoot in a church or library I don't see this being a deal breaker on not to get the camera.
Focusing to me is pretty damn fast, but I don't have all those other cameras to compare to either and the EYE AF is pretty dead on with quick response time.
The feel of the body is also relative. IF you are looking for this camera to fill like a D800 huge hunk of metal, then you will be very disappointed. IF you are tired of having a huge FF camera that is heavier than a new born baby then yes this feels quite good in the hand. It does have some weight on it. I would say hold the NEX 6 and shoot with it then hold the a7 or a7r and shoot with it and you will notice and hopefully appreciate the build quality over the NEX 6....but yes its not a D800 or canon FF camera...its different exactly whats is was made for.
I can only speak for myself and say that after reviewing all the good and bad info out there I had to test it out myself and so far my personal opinion that will not weigh much in the professional world is that this camera kicks a$$. image quality to me is top notch. I think the NEX 6 had a better look to the metal like the texture like you see on the nikons and I wish they would have left that same texture on the A7 but eehhhh oh well.
there are many pros and cons and that write up is one mans opinion if you look how many bad reviews vs good reviews I think the good out weighs the bad and one thing for sure that on the internet usally 90% of the time when it comes to reviews and feed back is that you more people will take the time to write anything wrong that they don't like about a product while the other bunch are busy using the product they bought and love...just saying.
Food for thought blur issue that some folks are having...maybe just maybe its because the lenses are on with adapters rather than directly to the camera could this have any impact??? check out this video and see how freemen sharp this guys photos are with sony lens
Look at :47 and after he is using a long sony g lens and the sony adapter and his shots are tack sharp...
PS......I wanted to add that those that are experiencing problems with blur on some of those reviews, They used a wood block or weight and it fixed that issue but this is also interesting that the battery grip with two batteries also fixes that same problem and its more noticeable at 1/100sec...If a simple weight under the camera solves this problem, than its a weight balance issue, not a camera issue.
I would rather have the grip than a block of wood because it would serve two purposes. Something that I would want to get anyways for shooting portraits.
