The question is one that will become ever more important I think.Hadn't heard that Chuchill quote...excellent!
I think that it was Churchill, who said on meeting someone called Bossom that it was neother one thing nor the other. I sold on my Leice M kit on that basis. Too heavy and big for a carry around whe travelling. Less flexible than DSLR for other things ... But lenses to die for.
I do mainly macro photography and nature.
For macro, there is not really anything to give competition to DSLR or MF (yet?).
My carry about when travelling is a NEX 7 with a pancake and an 18-200 in my bag if I can carry it ( the mac book air leaves space)
I have startedusing the V1 with a 300 F4 (800 mm equivalent) for birding when I do not want to carry a lot of weight. It is not in the same league as the D4 or 800E but gives good resluts. The extra MPs of the V2 might be interesting.
I just analyesd my recent usage in Lightroom. It looks as if I reach for the D4 as first choice. Then the S 2 with the 800E coming in third.
Probably just the big hands factor.
I have been tempted by the Fuji line and the OMD but I think the NEX system is better ... Although the lenses have to catch up. I like a viewfinder to put my eye to, so only the X-Pro appeals.
I want either (i) a D4 with 36 MP plus and useable ISO up to 6400 (no tripod macro work) or (ii) better high ISO ( to 2400) and some long glass (400?) for the S2.
Oh and an unlimited back account!
