I doubt that the image quality will show any difference very soon.... and in some cases that is almost true now.
And that in my opinion is at the crux of the argument. The SLR is a big and impressive black box with a big black long and impressive lens. It seems everyone at a wedding cannot wait for that big camera to be pointed in their direction so that they can pose like the WAGS they see on TV. I mean, a Rangefinder wouldn't cut the mustard would it? Even if it was just as good?But the large and impressive Dslr Does carry some weight when trying to not look like a guest.
Depends how you look at it really. But I always thought it was the results that count?I wouldn't want to shoot a wedding with a rangefinder. A pro shooting a wedding I wouldn't think a CSC would have any real advantage over a DSLR and introduce too many disadvantages. It also might look unprofessional to the person hiring you turning up with a CSC. I do quite like CSCs though, just not as a main camera to do everything.

So all those who said Nikon/Canon would do nothing useful with CSCs ...
Because the technology in it allows it to. The D4's doesn't. Even the D4s has a measly one more fps than the D4, still behind the 1DX.It strikes me as completely pointless and a desparate attention grab. Why does this camera need a frame rate twice as fast as a D4?
- twiceNikon need a smack in the head.
20 fps with AF seems very interesting. Proof of the pudding will be in the eating though.
If this is Nikon being serious then they've misunderstood the CSC market. Perhaps they're banking purely on the Nikon name as a selling point.

Just 20 fps and a similar AF system to the A6000.
Well no doubt the CSC fan boys will be using the 20fps as yet another reason why you should throw your dslr away

How many people are honest with themselves though, I'd guess that it's not too many.
It can be a nice place for those that are. My £60 DSLR and £100 prime are all I have and all I need
Went to jessops and had a good play with the A7.
I must admit, it's quite nice. The EVF isn't even that bad...as in, I'd use it.
Still, it's an either or situation and I wouldn't ditch my D7000 for it because I just wouldn't be speedy enough for professional use.
Anyway, nice product - no denying that...just isn't as good as a DSLR for my personal needs.
I was never really likely to buy the Nikon 1, V1 or V2 but the release of the V3 puts the final nail in the coffin for me as they have removed the viewfinder.
When I was looking for a decent quality 'street' camera, I looked at the Nikon A and it was just what I wanted, small, good quality, the Nikon menu's I am used to and a fixed-focus lens...but no viewfinder. I can see through a viewfinder without my glasses but to see a screen on the back of a camera I need reading glasses or my varifocals and that kinda removes the 'instant' photography aspect. in the end I plumped for the Fuji X20. Same quality, maybe better, not quite fixed-focus but near enough, and a viewfinder. The Nikon 1 V3 and the Coolpix A offer external viewfinders but what's the point of that?! And the price!! The Nikon Coolpix A viewfinder is two hundred and fifty quid!
I love Nikon DSLR's, wouldn't have anything else, but their other ranges fit no market that I can ever fit in to.
I like my mirrors.
IMHO if you are after a good mirrorless system then Nikon/Canon are the wrong place to look for one
I honestly don't see why not, my Canon mirrorless works just as well for me as does my Olympus mirrorless (and in my experience both work better than the Panasonic mirrorless I have owned).
I was only speaking from my experience with mirrorless cameras. I thought Canon was too slow and Nikon didn't give me the image quality I would like
