[QUOTE="everprentice, post: 403048, member: 19874"] I have been looking at mirrorless cameras and their designs. I haven't really gone into features since I know it doesn't take a lot of bells and whistles to create a beautiful image. What I am more interested in is figuring out how they would feel in the hand. Ever since I purchased a couple of D300s I realized the one of the major differences of the pro bodies from the consumer grades is the design. They are functional and highly evolved (for a lack of a better term). The buttons and switches that allow you to shift settings and modes are purposely and intelligently laid out to aid the shooter in the field. It feels more like a machine than an electronic device. Mirrorless cameras with their compact form factor have one thing in common- the lack of buttons and switches. I hope Nikon won't omit these when they design their FF mirrorless. I also hope they revisit the P7000/P71000 in the design of future compact Nikon mirrorless cameras. I think their design is brilliant. Sure the phone in my camera takes awesome photos but I always hate it when I have to go through a menu to change settings. It is kinda reminiscent of my days using the D40/D40x. So for me, until they come up with a body that have these incorporated in the design I will keep on lifting Nikon heavyweights. (And I hope the don't forget that red triangular piece below the shutter button.) [/QUOTE]
