I second this opinion. The a600 is an exellent camera. If you want the best lenses for it you have to shell out some serious bucks though. But the results are worth it.

I would wait for the Xpro2.

I shoot with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G6 and Panasonic lenses and Panasonic automatic extension tubes. Granted this is not the top end Panasonic Lumix; having said that I feel its a terrific little camera and the price compared to some of the others including the high end ones from Panasonic makes it a really great camera for nature photography including birds, landscape photography and close up photography and I don't get tired lugging it around as I used to with the SLR's and heavy lenses.

From what I've heard, seen and read, those that have gotten a mirrorless to "compliment" their current system, many have gone on to use the mirrorless system almost exclusively.

For $1800 on Amazon you can get a used Sony A7 and a used Sony Sonnar 55mm f/1.8. The A7 has about 24.3 MP.

Worth entertaining the thought. Sell your old stuff and off you go.

I am a Canon DSLR guy but I bought a NEX-6, with the super small 16-50z lens and I love it. The image quality and colors are great. It is my walkaround combo but I am not going to invest too much in the system, perhaps the new 18-105/f4 zoom as I still use the Canon for important stuff. I was in the Sony store in Costa Mesa and it was great to see all their bodies and lenses in one place.

I defer totally to the pros here, but I am curious as to why I have never seen even a mention of the Nikon 1 V2 or V3 cameras and lenses. Is the Nikon mirrorless system just not up to the competition?

It's just ok. The others are far superior. Same for the canon m.

Love the Oly e-mi. Sold my D7100 and a slew of pro lenses to switch to the m1. Limited in lenses however the ones available are exceptional. Waiting for the 40-150 2.8 which is 80-300 2.8. Early reviews are stellar.

They are alo comimg out with a pro wide angle and 400 mm f4 lens.

Check it out.

Sony's a7r is down to $2k for body only, very reasonable for a full frame (compare that to Canon's 5diii or a Nikon fx). Add about $300 for a Sony adapter to use your favorite flavor of foreign lenses with full electronic control until you gear up with native glass. Note that because the a7 cameras are mirrorless, there is plenty of room to adapt lenses to the proper distance from the sensor plane.

Sony has much to offer in mirrorless and more on the horizon. As others have said, the a6000 perhaps can't be beat bang-for-the-buck, and the a7s can record 4k video in candlelight. Darn near night vision, that thing, with unbeatable ISO. Read about future prospects at www.sonyalpharumors.com, and keep looking until February's big Japan camera show when Sony is expected to unveil something big. When I make the switch it will surely be to Sony mirrorless (and one day we all will switch because mirrorless is the future, despite what naysayers will say, not unlike a few years ago when some said digital would never take over film.)

The Fujifilm X-E2 has the same sensor system as the X-T1.
Much less expensive and lighter in weight.

I've owned the Fuji X-Pro 1 for several years now and it's a wonderful camera system. I have the EX20 (small bounce flash) for it as well as the much more powerful EF42. The 42 is a large flash for this size camera system but when you need a lot of light, this will deliver. I also have the 18 mm f/2, the 34 mm f/1.4 and the 18~55 wide to tele zoom. After using the 60 mm macro and the 55~200 zoom lenses, I got rid of both. They just didn't feel good on this body. I very seldom if ever remove the 18~55 lens anymore because it covers 90%+ of anything I need to shoot. This is not a featherweight camera by the way. It feels about as robust as an "M" series Leica. Pics are also excellent. I do not post process any of my shots. I've always shot "Chromes" and for better or worse, what I see is what I shot. I'm very old school about that.

I also have a Fuji X 20 to carry around and use it more than the X-Pro 1.
I also use my Leica D-Lux 5 & 6 cameras along with my V-Lux 2 bridge camera. For 4/3 rds I use my trusty Leica Digilux 3 with the wonderful Leica Vario Elmar 14~50 mm f/2.8~3.5 lens. This is a Moose of a camera but for big hands like mine, it's perfect. My main Digital cameras are my Nikon D1X with updates by Nikon and a D2X with updates. My newest baby is a black Df full frame Nikon. I have used Nikon AF equipment so I gave amassed quite a few "D-series" full frame AF Nikkor lenses so I'm pretty much set-up for the full frame digital.

I know I got off question but I hope the actual answer of the X-Pro 1 system helped. Good luck.

In first place is Panasonic GH4...the best camera out there. The plus points are very fast focus...all over touch sensitive rear screen which is so useful. Superb quality in every area and then 4K video...a fantastic stills camera too. One negative being no in body stabilization which is in the Panasonic lenses. Maybe price too?
In second place is joint between...Olympus OM-D E-M1 and Sony A6000.
Olympus OM-D E-M1 has in body stabilization and is great overall camera.. Price high like Panasonic GH4 but both are so worth the money.
The Sony A6000 is wonderful for the price...APS sensor too and has higher mega pixels.
These three camera's are the best at the moment out there in Micro four/thirds...my humble opinion based on real facts :)

All three of these camera's have so many plus points and are winning over so many DSLR users.

I recently got the 18-105 EZ "G" glass lens, and it is by far the best lens in the line-up. Paired with my NEX-7 the images are tack sharp and bright!

I'm the same way.
