I love mirrorless cameras.
As soon as I put my hands on an Olympus EM1, I decided to sell my Nikon D300.
I did it and bought an Olympus EM1-mkII one year ago.
I remember my first "job" with my new camera: a reportage about the first gay marriage in a little town in italian countryside.
It was pure fun: I used mirrorless best weapon (IMHO): the chance to use electronic viewfinder as real "LiveView" device.
You play with exposure (over or under) and see in real time what the sensor would produce.
For me this is extremely nice: modern finders are fast and faithful enough to show immediately the real pic, before you shoot.
You keep M (manual mode) and with two wheels you control aperture and speed.
You compose the light while looking in viewfinder.
With a reflex you can forget that.
Now I see that everyone is moving to mirrorless full frame.
Sony was already there, now Nikon and Canon showed their systems, and Panasonic will do it soon (rumors).
Nice: we will see wonderful new cameras.
One doubt: I have a Zuiko 12-40 f2.8 zoom which is superb.
With my system (micro 4-3) sensor is exactly half of full frame.
So with a full frame sensor, equivalent lens would be 28-80 f2.8: producing better files (full frame is a clear advantage).
But incredibly bigger and heavier.
New Nikon Z-Mount is in diameter 55 mm, bigger than old F-Mount (44 mm.)
So new lenses will be bigger and heavier than old Nikon things.
Can you imagine how big a 28-80 f2.8 will be?
I prefer some quality less, but good lens and good camera with me in my bag when I travel.
I will check new full frame models, but I think I will keep my Olympus micro 43 working.
Let's see...
