I am not an "early adopter" of anything, primarily because I like to see bugs get worked out or or if something is just a kitschy here today gone tomorrow trend.
I was uncertain yet intrigued and perhaps a little fearful of the mirrorless interchangeable lens movement. Technology doing what it does, grows at a staggering rate these days and I am now convinced that CSC's (compact system cameras) are here for the long haul. I had the opportunity spend the day with s friends Panosonic GH3 and I was astounded and left feeling gutted at the same time. I saw no reason the lug around 15 lbs of camera gear anymore.
I never liked to carry so much kit around, but it was the price of admission to 'get the shot'. This is just not the case anymore and I see no reason why camera manufacturers will continue to make SLR cameras in the future because technology has now conquered the mirror.
I am not excited about this movement however, and the reason is that I have $5000 in Canon gear sitting in my office that after shooting with the GH3 is looking suspiciously like a type writer or perhaps a word processor.
Discuss.
