I think the main question surrounding mirrorless is ....what are the real consumer benefits of mirrorless?

It's easy to understand the benefits to manufacturers but the realisation of significant benefits, rather than merely points of difference, is less obvious.

That said, its the future ....like it or not. In common with the first digital cameras, it's all about deciding when you are ready to climb on board.

I never got a D1. My feeling at the time was the benefits were often compromised by performance issues and shortfalls. The D1X however, was a sufficiently significant step forward, for me at least, to join in.

I suspect we are at a D1X point in mirrorless terms. Where the dividing lines between DSLRs (as with SLRs back in the day) and mirrorless are becoming less clear.
