Panasonix gx1 vs entry level dslr

As for myself, I'm moving FROM a DSLR (Nikon D7000) to Panasonic GH3 (and LX7). Reason? Weight, primarily. And I don't think a less expensive DSLR -- e.g., Nikon D5200, Nikon D3200 -- will give you anything better than a good Mirrorless camera. I don't know the GX1 so I can't comment on that.... DSLR's aren't going away, but many commentators -- and not just on this site -- are of the opinion that Mirrorless is *a* future, if not *the* future! Good luck in your decision!
