And that's pretty tough to argue because the mirror-less format cameras ARE smaller and lighter. Speaking for myself, though, I'm at the point where I don't even notice the size or weight of my camera. It's like my pocket knife, it's always there and I'm not even really aware of it. My camera feels like an extension of myself. Now, in 20 years time, I agree I may find myself singing a different tune...The other thing I find difficult when using a mirror-less is that most everything needs to be done through menus. On my DSLR many functions are controlled externally, on the body or the lens, and I can flip and flop and modify critical settings on the fly, often without even pulling my eye away from the viewfinder. For me, that's a HUGE consideration because I do a lot of that and I like the sense of flow and control being able to do that brings me. I found, in using a mirror-less, I too often had to stop, open the menu, click-click-click through the menu-system, make my adjustment and in so doing the creative... spark... that creative sense of urgency, gets lost.......</blockquote>
