Hall of Famer
I just listed the last of my m43 gear (and already sold most of it). Nothing wrong with m43. Think I just got a little bored with it.
What I REALLY want is a nice "normal" range set-up. Currently, that's a NEX5n + CV 40 1.4. But I do miss AF.
Still waiting for SOMEONE to come up with this camera:
Mirrorless
VF built in
Tilt LCD
Good shallow DOF possibilities (so, either a 50/1.8 or faster in FF or a 35/1.4 or faster in APS-C)
Good low light capability.
Reasonable AF
Preferably in the $1000 range
Compact
Basically, a Fuji X100 with a "normal" lens (in the 50-60mm range)
I thought about the GXR, but it feels like a dead end system to me.
I thought about a DP2 Merrill, but I understand they are weak in high ISO
The m43 PL25 is close, but not quite there for me
I might try the XE1 w/the 35/1.4, though I didn't like the Lens noise on the XPro1 when I rented it
I'm thinking of buying an X100 to try out 35mm for a while, or maybe just sit with my MF NEX and my 5D. <sigh>
50mm used to be so common, but even the Sony RX1 is at 35mm. 35 is the new 50
