Sometimes it isn't about "need" so much as "want."I see a lot of photographers switching systems constantly to get the latest and greatest cameras. I find it incredibly stupid and costly. You don't need ...
Ah, the truth comes outSorry...I ranted a little there. I won't lie though, I am jealous that I can't afford this camera. lol.
It'll need anti-grav and propulsion or be a quad-copter, too, thenI'm waiting for the Sony A7X, 300 megapixels and voice activated, don't even need to pick up the camera...just tell it what to photograph and done!
Honestly, it looks great and I'm sure it will be awesome. I definitely considered switching to this camera, but started looking at the prices of the lenses and kind of had minor stroke. Even if I sold all my current gear, I might be able to pull it of with the 24-105 f/4. MAYBE. But that would be it, I'd have less gear. It would be very stupid decision. I'm just a hobbyist, not a business.
Buying this camera or really any new camera today isn't going to make me a better photographer, I'll be in the same boat and I'd have to relearn the whole camera over again when I'm already comfortable with what I have now and know what it can and can't do.
The size and weight isn't an issue. It's not that much lighter and with the frame lenses I know it has to be kind of front heavy which is a little bothersome to me. However, I'd really have to feel in my hand first because it could too small and uncomfortable for me anyways.

You don't need the latest and greatest and to make great photos but with all the marketing, paid youtube reviews, social media, etc, they make it sound like it's the camera that is taking the pictures, not you. They give these cameras to photographers who are amazing at what they do and people see the photos and go "WOW! - if I buy that camera, I can be just like them" and when they get the camera, they take the same damn photos as they did with their "older" camera.
