I agree with genotypewriter... you made up some fictional requirements without any or any real reasons.
Example:
You want a DSLR with AF video. You are willing to buy a whole new system, but when i point out AF in shallow DOF DSLR video is a disaster, not a plus, you say that you don't shoot enough video to "justify buying another camcorder".
Camcorders cost nothing, yet you can justify buying a 2nd camera platform for unclear reasons? Ok...
You want a camera with a wide angle lens. Why? Never answered, you just "want it".
You want a camera that has an EVF. Why? Never answered, you just must love the downsides of EVF's I guess.
You want a small camera. But not a Canon, for its "bad ergonomics" (funny to say that about the compact DSLR with the best ergonomics). So you get a smaller Sony with way worse ergonomics.
And then you find out that small is not for you. Ok...
Simply put, a useless thread about finding something without purpose. One has to have hobbies, right?
Just get a camcorder for AF home video, and get a Voigtlander 20mm f3.5 SL II or Sigma 20mm f1.8 or Canon 24mm f1.4 for your 7D is you for still unknown reasons want a wide-ish prime for the 7D which is not too small for what you find comfortable.
