A7 has an advantage that far outweighs all disadvantages. But that is only if you want that advantage.

Its a FF camera.

 

What is the point of a full format mirrorless camera when the lenses are as big as for DSLRs ?

Just take the upcoming 70-200/4 as an example.

A 300/2.8 on a A7® would be a rather ridiculous view IMHO.

 

Sure, it's nice to have a EVF, fast CDAF and a smaller body but that's about it vs a DSLR.

I will not deny that it is a nice camera though (I can only speak about the A7R here but the A7 should be very similar).

 

The lens size debate also applies to APS-C (mostly, the wides are smaller and there's little quality stuff for DSLRs here anyway) but it feels more balanced here.
