I've only had a play in store for 5 minutes my self and was quite impressed with what I could test in store.
As for the EVF, I've got 3 sony bodies, 2 with evf, 1 with ovf. It takes very little time to get used to the evf. I use all 3 bodies regularly.
When I head to the outback I don't want to be changing lenses too often as it increases the chance of dust getting in,so I have lenses mounted on all 3 sitting on the back seat, but I prefer either the a65 or a77 because I can see everything in the evf, without having to go looking for the rear lcd for the histogram, etc, and in strong light reviewing the shot in the evf is much easier.
You don't want to go pixel peeping in the evf, but the rear lcd is as good as anyones for that
