Buying a mirrorless camera is not as straight forward as buying a DSLR. You have to really research and try a few before deciding on one.
OM-D is flavor of the month right now, before that it was Fuji Xpro1 and before that Fuji X100 and before that some other camera. If one were to base camera buying decisions on the mood of online photography forums then that is the sure way to doom.
Personally I won\'t buy a OM-D because its a DSLR-wannabe, it looks like one and I might as well carry a DSLR instead - a Nikon D7000/Canon equivalent for example.
Sony Nex-7 is jack of all trades and master of none, its EVF is not as great as it was hyped, in fact its tunnel like and too contrasty.
Nikon V1 is not for the pixel-peeping landscape shooter, or for someone who\'s conscious of camera size. Nikon V1 is for photojournalist/street photographer who\'s more after content and needs a camera to nail \'the moment\'.
Panasonic GX1 with its EVF combined looks too bulky, which might not be a bad thing for some people -- other than that like all Panasonic cameras its image quality is love it or hate it.
Fuji X100 is still a great camera but its quirky and its discontinued according to some news, which means X200 will be announced shortly.
Spend a couple of weeks researching before buying a mirrorless otherwise you\'ll regret your purchase like I did with Panny GF2. mirrorless cameras depreciate by almost %30 once you leave the shop and selling them second hand is a pain because there are so many of them and no one buying.
