Good luck chasing bugs with a tripod.

Except of course m43 sensors are more efficient with light compared to FF sensors, so, say, E-PM2 at ISO 400 will have less noise than 5D3 at ISO 1600. Smaller, 1/2.3" sensors are even more...

Yes it will - just move back a little (DoF will increase too).

You make it sound as it is a disadvantage of smaller sensors. It is other way around. You can always record bigger with a smaller sensor - just move back a few mm. You cannot record smaller with...

OK, let's see. The 18-55 kits have f/3.5 at best, RX100 has f/1.8. 2 stops right there. RX100 has DxOMark score 390, a camera with f/3.5 would need score of 1500+ to match that. But the APS-C...

Sony RX100, of course. The best compact, matching or beating entry level SLRs with kit zooms.

Of course not, every mirrorless can autofocus during video too, NEX-6 and E-M5 very well. The range is too short for travel though, 17 on Sony APS-C is a little long for...

Both Olympus E-M5 and Sony NEX-6 are great for what you want. E-M5 with 12-50 kit has sturdier, rain and dust sealed body and a little greater lens range - better for outdoors. And focuses a little...

You surely don't need EVERYTHING in focus, distant stars and all. You need just what you need - what it is? What is the closest distance to the subjects you need in focus? What is the farthest? Go...

One piece, two pieces... they show faces to strangers! Somebody might find them attractive, some perv might even take their pictures! And put them on the Internet! Imagine the shame!

Among rugged compacts, Olympus TG-1, TG-2 and Pentax WG-3 really stand out for low light (on wide end of their zooms), but they are still not nearly as good as the best of non-rugged compacts, Sony...

Why are you writing this to me?

If it is so, and you need speed/shallow DoF, nothing for APS-C, DSLR or mirrorless, can beat m43 Oly 12/2.0. Especially given that it is stabilized with Oly cameras. Well, m43 SLR Magic 12/1.6,...

Oh, wait, must correct myself. E-PM2 is about the same as NEX-3n, NX1000 is much worse. NX1000 is not tested, but it is basically the same as NX100. High ISO scores: NX100: 563 E-PM2: 932 NEX-3n:...

NEX-3 vs NX1000? Of course NEX-3, about 1 stop (2 times the shutter speed) difference according to DxOMark. E-PM2 is in between.

NX1000 with 20-50 is probably the worst kit out there period. 3n+16-50 is much more useful. Another in this category is Olympus E-PM2+14-42, $424 now , better than the Samsung, a little different...

If you primarily use the camera outdoors, then the E-M5+12-50 kit is better than NEX-6+16-50 - it is weather sealed (and generally stronger body), 12-50 has longer reach, focuses faster and has...

A little hint - compare market caps of Sony, Canon, Nikon. You will be surprised.

Well, maybe in your phone. But in modern decent smartphones, sensors are 8-13 mpix (even if we exclude the 40 mpix nokia as an outlier) BSI-CMOS made on the latest and greatest technologies vs 5...
