The thing is as long as you'll keep shopping, you'll never be 100% happy. The trick is to live with what you have and learn how to cope with the different flaws and features. What I'd miss with either the Sony of the Olympus is the Super battery life I get from my Nikons. I've played with the Fuji X-10 and the battery life really disappointed me.

Have you watched this one


Thanks Mike for sharing the linked video.
Yes, I have watched it and it confirms how I feel about the A6000 and D7000.
Since. I'm not really into much wildlife photography and very limited with fast sports, that is the reason why I'm uncertain about keeping the D7000.
The only time I'll require fast focus would be for my daughter's soccer games...which the A6000 seems to do pretty good.

I guess my objective would be, Sony A6000 for go all-around travel & Nikon D7000 for "special" occasions.

Isn't that true with most things in life?
People will never be satisfied with what they have and will always want more/better.

I agree the battery life is a bit disappointing compared to the DSLR.
I have 2 batteries and considering on buying at least a 3rd for back up.

Because the flange distance of the mirror less cameras is smaller compared to DSLR, practically every DSLR lense can be used with an adapter. The MF with mirror less is quite fast. The person who bought my Zenit 12S Photosniper, wanted it for his mirror less Sony. He keeps searching for legacy lenses and claims that they are VFM for the type of photography he does.

I still prefer the DSLR as mirror less consume batteries at a fast rate.
