No pixel binning is cool, but 50mbps avchd internal codec? meh. And it only outputs 8 bit 4K even with an external. GH4 is more appealing at this point IMO, unless I was going to use it heavily for photos as well. I wonder what the price will be.
 
I wouldn't use an A7 heavily for photos... I'm not convinced it's built for serious use.

..not to mention it SUCKS ergonomically now that I've used it a little.
 
I kinda do want, but the only thing that catches my eye is the quality of the photos and video it can take.
