I agree with @formed.
I've been seriously considering selling my D800 and all my Nikon glass for the Sony A7R. It's a tempting camera, obviously because of the size, which would be a huge benefit for me, I travel a lot. But I still need it to perform in a work environment.
Looking at the lens offerings from Sony (and all the 3rd party adapters) I think I'll stick with Nikon. The Sony lenses are huge, heavy, and expensive. Not much point in a small camera body if the lens if going to be massive. This depends on the types of lenses you like, but I like prime lenses, and my Nikon 35mm F2 was less than $300 and is amazing. Of course the 50mm 1.8 is a cheap gem. I have a few other primes, all of which are small and light, and fast and sharp.
The adapters for the A7r are cool, but there seems to be slow focusing issues and all the other stuff to worry about. So, for now, it's Nikon.
