I feel like a lot of people are missing the niche that this camera is filling for a lot of shooters out there.
1. FF camera that is small and light for travel, hiking etc.
2. Great complementary camera to an existing system for times when you want to go smaller and lighter. The dslr system can be used if you have more demanding conditions (better focus tracking, more fps native f/2.8 zooms)
3. The a7 series makes a great "alt" camera. You can shoot virtually any older prime from any manufacturer and shoot it at it's native focal length. Many of these lenses are inexpensive as well.
4. An easy way to shoot landscapes with your native wide angle lenses, using an adapter, with the excellent Sony 36mp sensor (this is mostly a benefit for canon shooters).
As the line matures it may be more of a stand alone product, but I feel that the current line is a niche that doesn't appeal to everyone and probably isn't the best option for most by itself.
