Is the Sony NEX 5N or NEX 7 a camera you would recommend?

I know the NEX 7 is the latest and barely released, but how is this 5N? I'm finding this camera around $700. Would you recommend this, how is the image quality, auto focus, etc.? I would like to get some photographer feedback. I'm looking for something smaller than my DSLR to carry around with me.

I'm on the fence myself! I'm actually considering the NEX 7 and Canon PowerShot G1 X

So I'm fixing for some information on the NEX 7 myself. Well I'm after photographer opinions :cheer:

Life's to short, SMILE!

I have the NEX-3, and it's awesome. The NEX-7 is more money and more megapixels than I want in a compact camera, but I think the 5N is decently priced. All the reviews I've seen say the camera IQ effectively matches each other, or the 5N does slightly better with high ISO noise.
