Why mirrorless?

Re: Why mirrorless?

So why did I buy a Fujifilm X-E1 instead of a compact SLR when I got tired of hauling my 5D MKIII with L lenses around?

Simple L (or better) quality lenses and the best sensor (great high ISO performance) in a cropped frame camera all in a compact package.  Sure there are the disadvantages mentioned.  But that little camera with a 35 mm f1.4 lens is inconspicuous and quiet.
