[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 493517, member: 986"] As mirrorless IQ evolves and improves, the size/weight factor becomes more of a consideration IMHO. I am constantly "wowed" by my D800E. I am equally happy, in the right circumstance (and usually with the 70-300 CX) by what the V2 can do. I have a trip planned next spring where I can not bring the D800E which will include spectacular locations in probably a once-in-a-lifetime visit hence the X-T1 because of size and weight. Here are the bodies and my most used lenses: X-T1 and 18-55mm (27-84mm FX equiv), D800E and Tamron 24-70mm, V2 and 10-100mm (27-270mm FX equiv).
