I picked up a mirrorless camera to use as a tool to test rangefinder lenses ... my impressions.
So I bought a cheap Sony NEX-3. As this was to be just a test tool I was not seriously looking at a replacement for my DSLR.
I am quite impressed by what this cheap old camera can do. Being a 3+yr old digital camera it would be considered ancient, and I did not think it would be all that good (IQ).
Even though there is a lack of control dials I find that it is not that bad to use.
It came with the kit 18-55mm lens, and the camera has a 14Mpixel sensor, and it produces some nice images. The zoom lens is a little too large to fit in my coat pocket so I am getting a 16mm lens. I think I will keep this around for my "always have a camera around" camera. I can see the attraction to these cameras.
I have yet to get my Nex to M39 adapter so I have not tried out my LTM lenses.
Just wanted to put in my 2¢.
