Thank you all, I have read everything and there are so much great advice ! Someone said on the previous page it's not the gear that will make me happy, and that cannot be closer to the truth. I want to forget the gear, and focus on taking pictures. I may sound negative, but in fact all gear has given me a lot of joy over the years. The ease you can edit and share pictures with the iPhone has made me reconsider the whole traditional post production/storing of pictures thing.
I have definitely considered m4/3; it's sort of what my brain tells me to buy. On a more emotional level I'm afraid to buy in to a system which I know doesn't give me the extra few % performance IQ wise compared to a FF camera.
Sony A7 is a "safe" choice in that sense I'll get the full frame look, and it takes a lot of different lenses. Did not know they now had a 28/2 lens, thanks for the headas up. 55/1.8 seems to be a fantastic lens, albeit a tad bit short for portraits, but might be worth trying out.
I have used manual focus lenses before, heck, even an mf only camera, so that shouldn't be a massive issue. Always fancied the Leica Summarit-M 75/2.5, maybe it would work as a portrait lens on the A7 ?
Having two CAMERAS is something I have not even considered before, but might not be as crazy as it sounds. Would open up for many interesting combinations, and it's nice to having to switch lenses, without being forced into obstructive zooms.
I haven't considered a more serious compact camera. The RX100 seems like a gem. I would miss short DOF, which makes it a bit crippled for portraits, but on the flip side it's something that can always be with me.
Merry Christmas all !
