Mirrorless shopping

I hope you don't get the Voightlaender/M-Rokkor/Leica crack-addiction. It comes out of nowhere! Avoid caffeine-fueled late night ebay!! )

There are some wonderful Voigtlander lenses

I got 60s V in DKL and CVs in M. Wish I bought the VMs in LTM, then could have easily got a Bessar L to use them on as well. So I'll have to gradually save up for a T

A mirrorless interchangeable lens camera (MILC, commonly referred to simply as a "mirrorless camera"), is a camera with an interchangeable lens that does not have a mirror reflex optical viewfinder.

Thanks for clearing that up for all here. Most of us thought they were some kind of beauty device

I have officially joined the mirrorless family. (It's the only type of cameras I have now)

GREAT !!

Now we can all start debating why you should have bought something else !!

OK so, I fully realize that I have not had this camera long enough to write any sort of review...however, I will say that in just an hour or so of fiddling, I now understand why people are switching from DSLR's to mirrorless. (assuming you dont need the better AF for sports or wildlife of course)

camera/lens combo was smaller and lighter than I expected.
button placement isn't perfect, and it has a few less physical controls than my DSLR's (I always had dual command wheels) but it has enough that you can set things up to comfortably shoot in manual.
Also, EVF. why do some people seem to dislike this feature? or is it just the newer ones that are "good"?
I think its great. I can "see" the exposure as i make adjustments. (omg, would have loved that feature shooting weddings)

the OIS on the "kit" lens works well. i can shoot handheld at 1/30th without motion blur, which I personally could not do on my DSLR's.
i never took the DSLR's out except when shooting for clients. too big, too bulky, and i hated carrying them around.
this I think will actually get used more, which I feel makes it a better camera for us.
maybe I will finally find the motivation to shoot for me, instead of just for other people.

isn't that how it always goes?

a forum member who is upgrading to an x-pro2? (If i remember correctly?) messaged me with an offer on this I couldn't refuse.
I wont name them unless they decide its OK, but regardless of whether they decide to remain anonymous or not, I am extremely grateful for what they have done for me and the wife.
plus, the x-e2 was one of my top choices anyway, so it worked out pretty well.

I have a piddly P7800 which actually has dual control dials.
but the mini EVF shows your exposure to a point. Love that .. though it lags. So no good for things moving like sports, etc.
But I've tried a A6000 (I think) with some big lens a parent was trying to use for soccer. Nice camera just not for sports or they didn't know how to use it. They were in Auto anyways.
Braineack likes his A6000 too.

I like using Silkpix Converter SE that comes with the Fujifilm and Lumix cameras.
