Exactly right, you've got to try it out and when I put 2 /3 lenses together with the body I needed a bag to carry it around in.. which I do with the D800, so whilst there was a little weight saving I didn't feel it was worth spending additional money on for a CSC system as well as the DSLR. If I was looking to replace the D800 entirely then a CSC may well tempt me, infact I'm keeping my eye on developments closely.
The A7 II is new out it the A7 that was poor
Dave which is your Fave lens on the 5D3Yeah but think how good the MKIII will be .
It will probably take me that long to get up the nerve to make the change completely.

What was poor about the A7? The A7ii is almost exactly the same thing just with Image Stablisation added
I went Nikon d750 in the end it quite small compare to my last one so very pls. I wanted very good AF tracking and image quality so couldn't risk anything else

Hi Guys,
Thought I was the the only one finding my camera gear getting to heavy to carry around on holiday.
At the moment I have a Canon 7d, 15-85mm IS, 70-200mm IS f4L.
Could some recommend a compact system that would be similar to above setup.
Many thanks
Olympus EM1 generally seems to be regarded as having the best AF of the mirorless bodies, I'd suggest a look at that if you wanted to replace a 7D
...as I said it's all about the glass, and for the love of god don't buy into the nikon or canon smaller sensor/body system, it's not that they are bad, it's that the competition is light years ahead of them in all ways.
Well I went for a D750 still a fantastic size camera smaller than the 5d3. Glad I went for it over a em 1 as it such a ace camera it crazy at high ISO really is.
I agree about it being all about the lens but I'd add that it should also be about how you want to view the pictures, on screen or in print and how big etc...
I had been thinking before my recent trip about trading the D800 for the D750 and using that as a lighter system but after my week away lugging the D800 even with small, light gear (20mm f1.8G, 24mm f2.8D & 35mm f1.8G I'm not sure such a small change in body would make much difference. Now looking at either a cheapish used Sony (A7/A7r) and maybe the 35 f2.8 for my summer holiday, I'm loathed to give up the D800 completely as I do enjoy using it but I;d find it hard to justify two full frame setups with similar lenses (If I bought 24-70 & 70-200 for the A7/A7r) especially when AF aside I can't see that theres really anything the Nikon can do that the A7/A7r can't....
Here my view on it.. Sold my canon 5d3 cos of it weighit and size... I was going oly or Sony A7II. But to be honest the D750 isn't that much smaller or heavier than the A7 when I handled them. So I went for the d750 and glad I did as it a excellent cameras. Plus the lens are cheaper and not much difference in size as Sony lens are big to ma,e use of the ff sensor
How come nobody ever mentions samsung as an option? Surely with the nx1, nx500 and the new premium s lenses it should be worth considering?
