[QUOTE="dragion, post: 301823, member: 11721"] I just jumped on the mirrorless band wagon. I found myself purchasing the Sony Nex 5T...similar to the Nex 6 like PapaST's. What I like about it is that it is pretty much a compact version of my D7000...I think it might share the same sensor(?) The main difference is the size & weight, but still able to produce very nice shots. The other thing is that it is menu driven via touchscreen LCD and omits a lot of the physical controls outside the body...I still need to get used to it. The negative is the lack of a viewfinder, but plan on buying the Sony FDA-EV1S Electronic Viewfinder attachment. Right now the Nex 5T can be purchased for $499 which includes the E PZ16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OSS pancake zoom. I got a deal that added the E55-210mm F4.5-6.3 OSS lens for $649.99 @ Best Buy...saving $400. I also bought the E 20mm F2.8 for $159 on clearance...list price @ $350. I will "never" replace my DSLR, but going mirrorless is a good alternative. :) [/QUOTE]
