OM-D?

Not sure about 60D but for me ill still hold on to my A77 feature wise I think its still one of the best in the market. Not saying OMD is not capable cam the only thing that puts me off is the price can't justify the price its crazy exp it's almost the same price as A77. So for now ill stick with my trusty epl2 to complement my DSLR.

i'll still look towards the X-pro1 and its successor. among all the APS-C Mirrorless, it currently has the best High-ISO. but... focusing would be a challenge. hopefully for its successor model it'll be much better in terms of AF Speed.

three things i am staying away from Fuji Xpro

1. Not much native lens line up (like our nex system)
2. AF speed was like slow.... well at least some good news now you can use your M-mount lenses as Fuji releasing the M-Mount adaptor. But I cant even afford X-Pro1 what more Leica lenses so this falls to my Item 3 below hehehe
3. Price just crazy expenssive

IQ and ISO seen a lot of sample photos and review all are excellent

That can change with every release of a new camera from another camp. Anyway, right now the two Fujifilm X cameras are focusing slower than my right hand.

2. that's why i'm waiting for any news about the AF Speed when its successor (if there is) comes out.
3. but worth it.

and another problem would be something that Sony has spoiled us with: Peaking. it helps greatly with MF lenses

I tried the OMD. To be honest, there's not much to it at all. It's all aging(by today's near 6 month product cycle standards haha) technology bundled into an admittedly nostalgic and unique body.

You simply can't compare APS-C performance with m43. Sure, the lenses are cheaper and more value for money, but it's an entire different class of camera in the first place. It simply can't touch the K-01, NEX series ect, especially at that ridiculous price point. Matched dollar for dollar, it doesn't stand out. In fact, it falls flat. Sony might not have a bunch of native SEL lenses ready to go, but then again the series is meant to be compact and pocket friendly. Don't expect superzooms and large primes with a miniature camera body.

but hey hey, to each his own : ).

I'm saying all this because I went down to get a new camera as a gift today and tried out all those shiny new cameras... not impressed. In my humble opinion, the NEX5N or 7 if you've the money takes the cake by far. If weathersealing is your thing, go for a canon or nikon or pentax or even perhaps the sony A77, go for those tried and tested splash proof ones, the K5, 7/5Ds and D7000s have long proven to withstand the elements when it comes to that. Until time and tides have proven the OMD worthy of its well marketed weather resistant tag, I'm keeping away.

Micro Four Thirds lenses are cheaper? That's new, they aren't any cheaper than APS/APS-C lenses. Anyway, what E-mount lenses are you talking about? There is only one small lens for the NEX system and even that one is probably the largest pancake lens ever build for an APS-C sensor.

True indeed, Sony's focus peak is still best. Disappointing part is the UWA lens, especially the M mount ones on it.
