"Since Adobe have reorganised their CS package to be subscription based, including a cloud server model, then I would assume that Adobe have already figured out this is the path forward for them as well. Could Google replace Adobe in the photo organising photo processing space? Absolutely, they can. I used to use the desktop software, Picasa, from Google and it kept my photos very well organised. I only moved off it last year when I bought a Mac and installed Aperture instead. I could easily be persuaded to go back to some form of Picasa and cloud. I just wish everything wasn't tied into having to login to Google+ first to do it all. Most of Googles products feel like a data storage company to me anyway, much more than say being a social media company. The idea that they would store all of our photos for us makes a lot of sense. A real shame Yahoo doesn't own a similar service with billions of photos already uploaded. That could be a real winner for them. (flickr) Compared to Google,..." - Shibuya246

"I bought the NEX7 when it first came out here in Japan. It's not a bad camera and the photo results are quite good, but I can't seem to adjust myself to looking through the electronic viewfinder. I feel like I am playing a video game instead of looking at nature. I prefer to take single hand held RAW shots and process HDR with Photomatix rather than setting on a tripod with multiple bracketed shots. As such I rely on the viewfinder more than looking at the back LCD panel. I normally use the D700 for those. In the 1 year I have had the camera it has mainly been left on the shelf or lent out to friends. Your article makes me want to get the NEX7 out again and have another look. Maybe I will find something that I was missing before." - Shibuya246
