Theyre a definite step up from point and shoots because it has a larger sensor, which also makes bokeh possible (though, not a whole lot). NEX and similar cameras are slower than SLRs, much more limited in respect to lenses, poorer battery life and less expandability. Theyre great for some who just want a little more than a camera for snaps, but I dont think they are really worth it. Not to mention they are harder to DIY mod for various purposes
If youre worried about size, theyre good. Or if you dont mind a bit of extra bulk, a low level DSLR with a 50mm slapped on it wouldnt be bad either
EDIT: DO WANT, but I feel guilty spending so much on photography in the last month
