I'm curious about the mirrorless cameras that look like SLR's. Is the attraction smaller size? Compatibility with the full manufacturer's lens lines? If neither of those things is true I'm wondering why someone wouldn't simply choose a DSLR instead. I'm not challenging. Just asking.
Because with DSLRs you have either an uninspiring crop system where most modern lenses are nothing more than just capable plastic primes or slow boring zooms, or a bulky like a bus and heavy like hell full frame system that should be better left to pro photogs with a truck.
Or you buy a crop camera and use it with a full frame lense that was not made for it. Just check this forum and you will see how often beginners with crop bodies get this advice: "buy full frame lenses, it will make it easier for you to move to full frame later".
This is exactly how Nicanon marketing strategy works: beginners buy a crop camera and when the initial excitement fades away they realise that the "real" gear is full frame. The best lenses are full frame. The best cameras are full frame.
But what do you do if your shooting style is incompatible with a full frame system?
With FUJI X line you at least get the "real" APS-C gear: an excellent camera AND, most importantly, pro quality modern fast zooms and exciting primes that are second to none.
Or you buy a Leica.
