Had 5D2, wanted a smaller camera like my old Nikon FE or Yashica T4 Super in film days, tried a GF1 w/ 20/1.7 and got hooked. Sold 5D2 after getting EM5 and good native m4/3 glass and then never using 5D2. Got back into FF with RX1 and added a D800. Awesome camera but for me... too big (volume more a problem than weight with two young kids always in tow - always in the way, whacking the kids in the head with massive 24-120 zoom with annoying lens creep), inaccurate AF (for relatively static subjects w/o bunch of annoying microadjustments, missed Oly eye detect), missed EVF benefits, useful liveview implementation and tilting screen. Recently added an A7 and sold the D800.
If mirrorless can solve AF tracking (Nikon V1 is my wife's camera, does a great job - hello Sony, Olympus, Panasonic, Fuji!) then I personally see no reason to ever get a dSLR. Wouldn't miss a thing. I'm happy with the lens options that Fuji, m4/3 have (Sony too if they add an FE 85 prime and wide angle zoom or prime in 21-24 range). Wish Olympus would do a FF EM-1. Love everything about that camera, but miss the A7 and esp. RX1 IQ with it.
