I can only say that I'm really impressed by the 24/1.8, it's still new, so this impression is new, so take it by a grain of salt. It's expensive, yes, in the beginning I was really distracted, but after I read the luminous landscape review this distraction has gotten smaller. In the end it fit very much to my shooting style and I will buy no new camera in the next time(I have a Nex 5). If the bokeh of 50/1.8 so stellar as most first samples induct I will buy it too. Yes, a wider option would be nice but it should fast too, the 16/2.8 is still to slow. There is also a rumor/road map about a standard prime, which is much more what I would desire.
The m43 primes are mostly introduced very recently, to build a lens family takes time and zooms are selling better, so zooms are introduced first. Anyway, the m43 primes are not that fast if you compare sensor size. The Nex is now the lower limit for me.
I think it really depends what you want, the fuji is to big for me, the m43 sensors dynamic range is lacking. The Nex 5 is really small, the manual focus assistant could be better. I dislike the the retro style of many mirrorless cameras but in the end that is not so important.
What I really dislike is that every camera producer is inventing a new mount! This is silly. In my opinion photographer should press them to agree on one mount per sensor format and not play this silly my system is better that yours game. The competition would be much stronger, so the innovation.
