Amazed at how little vignetting this lens has (seems a bit better than the competition); then again 6.3 max ap @ long end seems a bit weak. Certainly not the optimal lens for shallow dof.
Then again does a small camera add much value with a huge lens ?

As mentioned it is a conventionally sized universal zoom which is just as big or small as other APS-C competitors. If it was smaller it would have been worse. I think the Pana 14-140 has been shrinked to a degree where it can be called underdesigned again. Personally I cheer Sony for not have taken this approach. As far as I can tell the RAWs are untouched thus the real thing.
Besides - it's really a beauty. :-) The camera itself is actually too small but the rather "big" lens helps to handle it IMHO.
