These are the key features. The fps rate was already a gimmick in the A550 as far as I remember.

Sorry but there is nothing "gimmicky" about A550/Nex 7 fps. Yes, the AF is fixed on the first shot, but there are many situations where the subject isn't moving towards/away from you where you can use 7fps. You can also always release the shutter button and press it again and the camera will AF again with the first shot. Plus the fast frame rate is used for many other features (hdr, sweep panorama, hand-held twilight mode). I am not sure by what rule of logic you have declared that a "gimmick." Moreover, on A55/A33 AF is fully functional with 10 and 6 fps.
