Size is a funny thing. For me, the 5n is way too small. Nex7 is borderline. Id prefer a slightly larger camera with compact lenses. To each his own I guess.
Yes, to each his own and it depends on what you\'re going to do with the camera. Serious hikers are fanatical about getting rid of every extra ounce of weight and reducing size. I travel a lot for business with carryon luggage and want the highest image quality from the smallest possible package. So, I prefer the size of the NEX 7 to the size of the M9/X1 Pro. On the other hand, I do find it easier to hold a larger and heavier camera steady and understand how people might want a camera larger than the NEX.
Tell me about it. I\'m an avid backpacker and I carry around a 5dii, 4 or 5 lenses and a tripod. I\'m hoping to switch over to a mirrorless system, but I can\'t talk myself into taking a step back in image quality. I think we\'re getting very close, I\'m just watching the market right now as there a several new options.
I\'m in the same boat as you, but more of a day-hiker. Even traveling \"light\" with the 5D2 and a couple lenses gets to be a lot, but I don\'t want to lose much in image quality. I tried micro 4/3 but was never happy with the IQ (admittedly, this was back in the GF1/E-P1 days). I moved to an X100 for and except for the auto-focus (which is kind of a show-stopper) I\'ve thoroughly enjoyed it. I have high-hopes for this camera/system.
