I am thinking of buying a compact system camera as a back up for my Nikon D7000. I find a sizeable DSLR a little unwieldy when moving through crowds, or trying to negotiate thickish undergrowth. I like the fast autofocus hybrid system on the V1 but this camera does not have auto exposure bracketing. My shooting needs are quite varied so I really need most of the features to be found on prosumer DSLR cameras. It appears that most high end CS cameras have contrast detection only, which is not really good enough for air displays and moving wildlife. I see Sony have a rumoured NEX6 due for release which has most features seen on the NEX7, with an added hybrid autofocus system. Such a camera would suit me down to the ground. Has anyone any comments on this, or other options?

Thanks but I was looking at a CSC rather than a bridge camera.
Sony's NEX 5R is available for preorder and it has the same type of hybrid focus as the NEX6. There are previews available to read on the web at dpreview and a few other web sites. I too am very interested in the NEX6 or an Olympus mirrorless, as I have heard they have a very good focusing system. I hope the Sony is good, because I would prefer the larger sensor.
