And I don't worship my inventory of legacy lenses.
So are you saying the shrine I have in the basement might be over the top? I hope not. I spent a lot of time arranging those candles.
As much in love as I was with the Nikon FF and lenses, once I was faced with a better way to take the pictures I wanted by accepting a small trade-off in IQ, I made what seemed to be an obvious choice. This direction is so completely right for me and the future will determine whether the huge mass of people who would shoot either like I do or small size dSLRs will go that way as they start buying.
Since I have the 24-70 equivalent in an excellent lens and use it shoot 95% of the time, until a system comes along that offers me something more (in the IQ department) I'm set.
As for myself I have two big concerns about mirrorless, the first is the EVF. They have improved it a lot but I think they still have just a ways to go there before it will really suit my needs well, at least based on the couple of models I've looked at that had EVF. My other primary concern is that the mirrorless thing is still rather new to the market, and I'd rather wait a bit before investing because I don't want to find myself in a situtation where I choose a system that for whatever reason fails to catch on and thus fails to get long term support.
I love the idea of having another camera to compliment my DSLR that is a little more portable, but for now I think I'll stay on the fence and wait for the next generation or two before deciding on which route to go when I finally do get something mirrorless. I can certainly understand folks that do decide to purchase now though, the portability and smaller size can certainly be a huge advantage for certain types of photography.
