I noticed it in the NEX-7 results and now, it seems that the SLT-A77 has

The Pentax K5 remains the noise control king of APS.

But the NEX looks better than the A77 since it receives more light. I
expected higher noise levels from the more densely packed sensor, but
what I'd like to see is prints from these cams. Viewing these images
at 100% on screen tells me little.

My NEX 7 is still on pre-order.

I'm still wondering about a choice. A new "pro" Panasonic m4/3rds is
due and Sony's production is compromised.

I think the best we can hope for in the GX1 is the sensor in the G3.
Good, not in Sony's class. I think that the sensor in the NEX 7, when
not handicapped by a pellicle mirror will be about a stop better. Just
guessing. For me, if it's good up to ISO 3200 I'm OK with it.
