You can buy those fast primes on 2.3 sized (pentax q) type sensor cameras too and have much less compromise on shallow dof but you won't go sensor smaller than m43. I wonder why?

@badi you are right the weight difference remains around 100gms no matter what lenses in use on cameras.

To be truthful when mirrorless were first appeared jn market it was said that the advantages are that it will cost less to make, it will save on weight and size and all that.

Now they don’t save...

In the sense the word mirror is used this lens is mirrorless.

Cosinaphile no need to write all these options again.
I get it that you know there are some better buys.

The question you did not answer was that what is stopping you from buying other options....

Cosinaphile why you can't buy the options you mentioned here?

@androole, why would you do all this when you can buy some camera that doesn't offer what you want at the price point you don't want.

Stupid people like me would move on to other choices but...

Asuming that there is an objective way to say that interface is awkward, can you point me the link or place where i can read these rules and see how you arrived at this conclusion. But your son ...

Did your son say it was awkward interface? This is important because you are obviously used to camera that in my opinion has awkward interface just to show how subject this interface thing is. I am ...

With same weight and size??  If weight and size is not your thing then may be better compare things against Sony A9 type of camera and then see.

You already have the camera you want so your opinion count nothing for people who want this camera with this range.

@rishi are you claiming that raw sensor data is not processed to remove various noises from signal?

Can you name the camera maker or camera that dumps the raw sensor data directly to raw file...

There is no such thing as raw sensor data in raw files. All raw sensor data is processed before it becomes raw file. You can not buy any modern camera if that is your criteria.

only downside i could think is that it might eat more battery but other than that not much come to mind.

this always been the issue with all these discussions about m43 cameras. For example gh5 can do a lot and you point out that it isn't small they someone will quickly point that there is another ...

You let your friend buy a sony?? With this amount of hatred dripping out of your post, can't imagine you would allow anyine to buy sony.

Davinator what camera you have in mind that out performs sony eye af. Care to name one or two.

Nikon 1 was pretty nice system that was killed by pricing towards higher ends.
Same goes now for rx10 sony, nice camera but don't want to pay 1500 for it.

Fjbyr sony doesn't have lenses too.
