No one seems to have fully embraced the notion of lightweight mirrorless systems, with the possible exception of Fuji.
What most manufacturers seem to be blind to is making cameras dimensionally smaller does little to make the cameras lighter, just more awkward in the hand. Coupled with existing lenses which were invariably heavy with prestige fast glass and full frame functionality, you get something that’s no lighter than mirrored systems but now more imbalanced in the hand. Lighter in the wallet but nowhere else!
Fuji lenses are some of the lightest I have come across and offer a more balanced coupling with their DX bodies.
Frankly I’ve been underwhelmed by the mirrorless revolution.
While some have achieved some benefits most have just produced a different version of what we had.
The biggest advance in mirrorless is the ability to have WYSIWYG exposure (more or less) but it has taken a decade to retrieve the AF performance we had in cameras such as D3 and subsequent DSLRs.
