NEX 7's are sweet, I just wish they'd come down in price. If you want to shoot manual, you have the two main knobs up top, one shutter speed one f-stop, quick simple easy.
The Oly PEN series I, II's, III's are nothing to sneeze at either.
I really really like this 4/3rds format. Mini-mid sized camera body, and full range of len choices.
to me, it comes down to ergonomics and what fits the hands. You can have all the menus and software and do-dads in the world, but if it doesn't fit your hands/fingers and photo application where you can't drive it almost instinctively, then what good is a Lambo or Ferrari if you would do just as well in a Lexus or other upper middle class car/camera.
I have some old digital point and shoots ready to retire, and I'm in the same boat, what 4/3rds format to get. I drool over the NEX-7, the -5 is totally different in many manners.
