@LugBug1 I dont own any Fuji's those were all loaners but am seriously thinking of getting one soon . Wallet currently says NO though. My main cam is a 5D3 but its starting to feel vewry heavy next to all these mirrorless cams!
@eke2k6
What a phenomenal set of photos.
I'm actually thinking of going in the other direction with the adage that the best camera is the one you have on you. In that light, I've been kind of eyeing a canon g7 x or the sony RX100iii. Both have such unique pluses and minuses over the other that I would have a hard time choosing one. Probably the one that goes on sale first since I can't decide but don't really need either =\
35 mm lens, set to f/1.8 on a Nikon D90, no flash.

I'm mainly looking at the X100 for the EVF and high ISO capabilities. The image quality isn't nearly as good as my current, but I was just telling James that the EVF and body design are to my wallet what the Siren songs were to Greek sailors.
Terrific tribute to Vanessa, Eke!
I understand your decision, but predict that you'll miss her.
Nice clear shots, what ISO did you have set?
I am liking the look and idea of mirrorless with the compact size and portability. But in my little time in this hobby I've found that a heavier camera is far better for hand-held shots. I also think that there will always be a preference for either... Some folks like big cars, some like small - but they both get you from A to B. Remember when mobile phones went really small? They're bloody huge again now haha
But its all about the performance and it does seem that the mirrorless systems are competing with the SLR's in picture quality. EVF's are far better now and can even be preferable over optical with the bonus of extra info etc. It's inevitable that everything digital will take over.... But I also think people may still prefer the 'not broken so don't fix it' style and use of the classic SLR. Just like turntables or even CD players in hi-fi.
One bonus, if the new age cameras do take hold of the market..... Us poor folks will be able to snap up all the leftover DSLR's for far less wonga!
(I'd love to have a 5D-III, you have one hell of a shooter there!!)
I know how you feel! I'm currently lurking the fredmiranda and getdpi for sale forums waiting for a deal on them.
