Where's NEX-7?

I'm in a PAL land and in the need for 25p in January. I was eagerly waiting for an official GH3 announcement with the whole 25p solved by Pana since Vitaliy stated that there's no chance for a 25p hack on the GH2.

I own a GH13 but find it very noisy at high ISO and I'm going to film in certain circumstances where I just don't have the chance to lit the scenes, so I was waiting for some frenzy to start around Sony's NEX-7 but it appears that no one really cares about it.

Is there any reasons for that? On paper it seems a really good option, and some guys are saying that it works wonders in low light, but I can't seem to find any credible reviews on the web. Can anyone share some thoughts about this?

Thanks
 
I've heard more people talk about the wonders that the Nex 5N works in low light and the NEX 7 being less good, presumably due to its higher pixel density. The Nex 5n has (to the best of my knowledge) no external audio input, fewer manual controls, and apparent overheating issues in video mode, though. So that could be why it isn't more talked about here.

We'll see what happens when the Nex 7 is in more hands.

On a bright note for you, though, everyone seems to believe that Panasonic is introducing 25p to the GH2 in the upcoming firmware update. And those prices are dropping, so you may be in luck soon.
 
I was hoping to get a NEX-7 next month, it sounds great. However the flooding in Thailand has delayed the shipping dates to next spring at the earliest. Check out the NEX forum on DPreview
 
@MarcusBrody. Yes, lets hope that Pana ges their job finally done with the whole 25p hassle, and that's because I also own one which shot about 5 or 6 minutes from the day I bought it until now!

@ monkeyking. Unfortunately spring will be too late for for me. If no other option I think I'll be doing indoors with a borrowed 5D and the exteriors with my GH13. Curiously I find the 5D FF shallower that I need so a 2X M43 crop would be perfect. It was really a cool gift from Panasonic if they solved the 25p issue for Christmas.
