It doesn't surprise me that all the main players are shifting their starting line up. But after my excursion with Fuji I am convinced that mirrorless hasn't come of age yet.
It's all very well introducing full frame models but they need to overcome the inherent weaknesses of recent mirrorless cameras before they interest me again.
Just about the only advantage over mirror models is the wysiwyg viewfinder which is excellent when doing exp. comp. The initial lightweight promise is soon spoilt when adding telephoto lenses...because these, like the DSLR versions, are just as heavy. And the route to lighter weight bodies has till now meant (for some bizarre reason) departing from tried and tested ergonomics.
Once these bodies are all in plentiful circulation ( ie next year) I will have a look at them and see if my somewhat jaundiced opinion can be changed.
