well, we have this nice little poll.
(Of course it doesn't make our current equipment any worse, it's just a sidenote...)
I have the same feeling that m43, nex and fuji x are moving faster.
m43 is now a mature system but the smaller sensor prevents this system from offering the same possibilitied as aps-c with dof.
Sony nex has a nice NEX6 body but the lens lineup isn't sexy at all, especially in the fast primes department. There is evolution in the nex system, but this evolution seems quite random.
Fuji has sexy retro looking bodies, an unique sensor tech and a clever ambitious lens lineup with fast primes. Also, they are following a clear roadmap and there is a reliable official roadmap. The system isn't cheap, but it delivers what it promises.
In Samsungland, we have this nice little poll. We have a great sexy nx300 with sadly no optional evf. We have the prototypic Android Galaxy nx. We are waiting for the nx20 successor (nx20 being a solid but not sexy camera). We have a nice set of compact prime lenses, rather ordinary zoom lenses and a gorgeous 85mm f1.4. But we don't know what to expect from the future bodies and we have no idea about what the true lens roadmap is. Hopefully we will soon hear about interesting announcements on the nx frontline and there will still be bargains to enjoy among the nx street prices (the official prices are too high IMO).
Thanks everyone for your input in this little poll
